  • Went to check my pcone balance and there was £6 of points in there. Bonus!  Am@zon balance updated as a result to £15.07. 

    Bit wet and mizzy today. Hoping to get out in the garden for a little bit and clear out the greenhouse.  Must do a plan this weekend for what I would like to grow next year as well. Hoping DH will take the kids out for a few hours.

    Bit more cashback moved to payable so am@zon voucher requested again. 

    Finally got outside in the mizzle. Managed a trug load of weeds and the last of the leaves.  Done my garden plan for next year and done a cheeky order for seeds that I didn’t have and also nabbed some cashback on it. 

    Also clocked it’s the double child benefit month. So extra £140 divvied up, mainly to savings again. I’ve still got £395 to save to make up for the vet bill but I’m getting there. 

    Christmas outside lights up. Been through outside freezer where I’ve got all the Christmas food stashed to finish the list of what we need. Grateful I’ve got the basics in already.  

    Few more stocking fillers arriving with food order today. Did have a selection box for each child but unfortunately it fell down My and DHs’ throats!  😂

    Now it’s Sunday afternoon in front of the fire before home made pizzas for tea. 

    Let’s hope the exit lockdown plan revealed tomorrow is ‘ok’ as can be. 

    Happy Sunday all.

    Thanks to Cath mentioning it I checked tcb and had £7.07 which I’ve requested am@zon vouchers for. 





    During my bedroom sort out at the weekend I found 60 euros

  • Realised I could snap PO receipts and get points for them so boosted st0re rewards a good amount. Reached £5 payout on sh0ppix and so another am@zon voucher requested. Picked up quite a few 1poll, ips0s and pr0lific surveys today so not a bad day for earnings. They are currently just under £100 for the month, just need to make £2.02 more. Pretty pleased with that as it doesn’t feel I’ve done much this month at all.

    Managed to get another £5 ips0s payout so Amazon voucher requested.  Money earned has passed £100 for November now and I also sold £11 worth of things on eBay. 

    Contained myself considering it’s Black Friday. Nothing we need so I’m steering clear. Submitted my deposit refund request to centerparcs so be interesting to see how long that takes to process. Dentists have cost me £125 this week but it could have been sooooo much worse so I’m taking that as a positive.

  • Well I did succumb in the end to BF sales. One of our goals next year is to redecorate the whole house and sort out storage better. So I went crazy mad and ordered some cereal containers and a shower tidy. 😀 

    Quiet weekend and glad to see the end of lockdown this week. Can’t believe it’s the last day of November already. 

    Will post this months update later.

  • Here’s November 

    *Money earned £104.44 ~ total 2020 to date £1074.74

    OPs £18.40 ~ total 2020 to date £3269.95

    *Mortgage balance - £64,998.50

    *Mortgage percentage left to pay 29%

    97 months left


    + really pleased with money earned with what feels like, very little effort this month which means I’m over £1000 for the year. I only really starting tracking this in March. Also decreased one more percentage point down to 29% left to pay. 

    - I can’t really think of one, aside from being niggled I won’t be able to get the mortgage under £64k next month so won’t be able to colour in another brick until 2021!

  • Have OP £30.05 to get me to £3300 for the year because I like round numbers and I’m unlikely to have any money to OP at the end of the month. 

    60p survey on y0ug0u this morning meaning £1.05 left to go to payout. Would love to get to that this month. 

    Premium bonds day tomorrow. Fingers crossed  for a nice win to end the year. I mean, millions would be nice but a nice £25 would be very welcome! 😂
