    £3.11 TCB requested. Great that a referral bonus of £12 from 18 whole months ago went to confirmed over Christmas. Cant even remember who I referred but they obviously aren’t using TCB very much! 

    Picked up a few surveys over Christmas from Nectar and Prolific with £8 waiting to be validated on there. 

    So begins the week of confusion and cheese when I will have no idea what day it is and eat too much cheese!


    In other news the energy supplier accepted the Ombudsman decision but has another 3 weeks to implement the agreed outcomes. The £75 credit they will put on towards the deadline I’m sure but the recommendation they adjust the meter reading isn’t set in stone and was highly recommended by the Ombudsman so I’ll be interested to see if they actually do that. 

    Cant decide whether to take £75 out of the energy account when the credit arrives. 🤔

    I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, ours has been quiet but I'm now feeling re-energised. It really is over so quickly isn't it. The 0% cc tip has got me thinking so I might get the laptop and my spreadsheet out later.

    Ha, love this 🤣! I've been confused about the actual day since Christmas Eve, so there's no hope for me I fear!

  • Bit of a sort out at home and another £13 worth of books traded with Ziffit but won’t get that credit until January. 

    Fees like our last lazy day for a while now.

  • I must be a survey addict. It made me happy yesterday to have surveys to do. Didn’t feel like I ‘earnt’ anything really over the festive break. 

    Pennies should hopefully start to trickle through at the start of next week. 

    Also have £1001 sitting there ready to be OP which is burning a digital hole in my pocket!
