Brilliant news!  The amounts aren't nothing, but as SL says, the monkey off the back is great.

This!! 

Whilst it’s driven me potty at times it’s really been on my mind and the hours I’ve spent chasing three energy suppliers and then collating all the info for the Ombudsman has been immense. I think I’ll finally let out the last sigh of relief when the opening meter reading is changed.

Been feeling proper yuck since having booster jab last week. The main thing being such a sore arm that I can’t raise it above my head without being in real pain. DH is the same. So we’ve spent the weekend feeling very sorry for ourselves. It is feeling slightly less painful today but it’ll be another day on the (now paid off!!!) settees. 

Had a right game with Mr T over the weekend. They were 3 hours late delivering and felt that was acceptable. I didn’t so I moaned and got £5 out of them. Every Little Helps Mr T!!

I did manage to get £8 cashback from Checkout smart through the delivery last night so along with the £1.80 I already had that’s £9.80 requested and should be in the bank this week sometime. 

Also requested two lots of TCB. 

Got an extra £10 from a payment today I wasn’t expecting and along with the £5 I’ve pinched from the food pot due to getting £5 from Mr T, the gift fund is sitting at £12/£800

Also sent £3 OP to the mortgage. 

At least feeling rubbish and resting today means lots of surveys!

Well done you!  Three hours overdue is definitely not okay.  And those smaller amounts really add up, don't they, very good news.  Sorry to hear your booster jabs have caused issues - my brother and sister were both very badly affected, legs folding underneath them, and I expected the same, frankly, since it was both of them, but there was nothing, for me, I was unwell for a week after the Astra Zeneca, but fine after Pfizer.  Lucky, that time!  

I'm glad you *can* have a day off lounging about on your paid for settees, nice one

Got £3 credit from pcone and Amazon balance credited.  Reached payout again on Ipsos and £5 requested and Amazon credited. Balance is now £41. 

TCB of £6.43 and £1.71 arrived so gift fund is up to £26/£800.  They also started their Xmas treats instant win prizes and I picked up 20p - it’s a start!

Mortgage OP of £4.65 made. 

Feeling much more human today though arm is still sore. Need to return one gift today that didn’t fit and that’s pretty much about it!

Busy day today so not much MSE-ing

Returned a purchase though bought in the 20% off TU clothing sale and they refunded me full price so can’t complain at that!  £4.40 made.

Excellent!  Glad it worked the right way round for you.

The £50 from you gov landed and also some Christmas money for us which we just put straight to the gift pay off minus £5 OP!

payment from checkout smart arrived so £9.31 divvied up. 

Still nothing from the energy supplier as to whether they are accepting the Ombudsman decision. 

Good progress so far in December. Happy with that. 

£155.81 earned  

£24.28 OP

£138 / £800 gifts.

My booster was bad too debtfree.  Day three was almost back to normal, but the kind of normal you feel after you've had flu - a bit weak - but the arm was back to normal.  With vaccine 1 and 2 my arm was really painful for ages afterwards, which affected my sleep as I like to lie on my side.  Glad you are feeling a bit better though.

You're really on form with making money and saving it.  I've finished this years Xmas challenge, just 3 more receipts to get a fiver on Huyu, then I'll start on next year.  I accidentally chose a £20 Amazon voucher on Shoppix, instead of getting Love2Shop which you can use at the supermarkets.  I think I'm going to order a bulk load of loo roll - not because of any potential for a lockdown though, just because my usual brand is pretty cheap at the moment.
