  • After taking the meter reading this morning, I've just switched supplier - after a 50% increase in our monthly payment, I get frustrated ever time I put the reading in and it says ' this is much lower than we expect - are you sure you're capable of reading your meter correctly!!! '

    So move in progress, we get a smart meter as well which I'm keen to see our usage and hopefully our bill will go down a little a month. We should be just about in credit by the time we switch!

    Up to £14 cleared on pr0filic, just need the others to claim and then that will go towards OP!

    Sold an item for £50 on fleabay last night, was a potential dress for the wedding but I changed my mind, pleased to get what I paid for it.. so need to go post office this morning!

    Off to collect two books we picked up off a bookface site - David Walliams, kids are loving his book, got 2 for £3. Need to DH's meds from the Docs and then back home for lunch before library and karate. Also have to fill the car up and get £40 to pay for the kids next belt grading which is in September.

    Spent last night organising my planner for next few weeks of home ed, roll on Monday when we can get back to it!

    happy Friday all

  • 50p on Y0ugov this morning and a £10 OP sent to the mortgage.

    Weather is truly dreadful this morning, quiet day at home on the agenda I think.

    Few more fleabay items to get listed is about all there is on my to do list today!

  • Pah to the poor weather. I'm hoping it stays dry here as I have washing to get out!
  • Back to home ed and the kids just buckled down and got straight on with it, think they've missed it!

    £15.92 OP sent from some fleabay profits.

    Mr T been with food delivery so in theory he wins this week with £40.41... but randomly they replaced 100 freezer bags for £1.60 for 5 packs of sooper dooper ones with zip locks costing £10! Plus they replaced the ham with a pack that cost £2 more - think the picker must have been on my side - so I'm taking that win this week!

    20p on 1poll so far today.

    Off to library and to open building society account with littlies today - back to do some baking with them as I'm starting that weekly with them and by then I should be ready to crash!

  • It all adds up! I am slowly getting back onto these extra things. I had forgotten how addictive they can become, though!!

    I have moments of loving fleabay and then months of ignoring it! When I'm having my happy moments, nothing in the house is safe!

    That's me all over. It's all or nothing here with fleabay . Currently in all mode :rotfl:
  • 30 points on Ipsos today, hopefully a £3 survey on pcone due (but it seemed really short) and DD got accepted for a clothing trial for Mr T - so quite excited by that.

    Also got accepted by M&S bank, so will see how that goes, hoping to get the £100 card before we have to buy DH's suit for the wedding. Took a chance on one on fleabay for DS as it was new - £20 and it fits perfectly and looks lovely, so really pleased with that.

    Been to open bank account for the littlies today, been library and then been on our weekly nature walk.

    Catching up on GBBO now whilst doing some home ed prep!

  • 8 items sold on fleabay and £40 made! Will put £15 aside for fees that are due, pay £10 OP to the mortgage and then split the remaining £15 between the CC pots and put a few pound toward the littlies account!
