Sorry had to post again, just got 13 kids books for £20. 3 for my kids and 10 for my niece which I'll split for birthday and Xmas, free delivery and cashback too.

Yay for this amazing site!

A rare no spend day today, no food shopping needed I do need some bread but I will make a loaf and some rolls tomorrow instead.

Cashback from books turned out to be £3.43! Great bargains again.

Hubby has gone to stay over at mate's house over night before going up to the Lake District for their run tomorrow. Weather is rainy so I'm glad we're staying at home now, saving on fuel too.

No post today, done a few surveys and checked usual freebie sites.

A quiet and relaxing evening in store, hoping to get the kids out on their bikes tomorrow.

Blimey it's the afternoon, just popped to shops for a couple of things and used some vouchers so managed to get some things for nothing or a good discount. Just having 5 minutes then will make some bread and rolls.

Yep lovely and quiet without dh ha, ha! He should be bringing some money home with him too as his mate owes us some for selling his boat on the bay of e.

Dd has gone out for a walk with her friend up the hill so here with ds, a few surveys done this morning and usual checks of websites. I only need to do 7 more surveys with ugov before pay out threshold reached.

I may even do some ironing today :eek:

Cor blimey where does the week go, but after the last couple of days I've had I will be glad to see the back of it. Had a run in with someone connected with my second job who was rude and changed order of events on Tuesday when not his place to do so and then yesterday I found out from a 3rd party that he had cancelled my event today without even speaking to me and not his decision. It's not cancelled and I have spent the last 24 hours reassuring parents that it's still on!!

I will see him later so he better watch it because I am not a happy bunny.

Anyway everything else OK, we have booked colleagues son to do the plastering and ceiling in dd room at the end of the month which is fantastic. Finally feeling like we're getting somewhere in the house, also booked the hotel for my birthday weekend trip to Scotland, lots of running, biking and walking to do. Cashback on the booking too.

Letter written to cancel overdraft and close account now that the transfer is complete.

Just pottering about now with no extra payments so we have enough money for the plastering and holiday. Last few months of bike payments then that will be another debt down.

What a rude man. You give him what for. I don't like trouble makers. He sounds very spiteful.

Ooh Scotland. I have only been once but I loved it. Wales again this year for me after a two year break. I hope you have a nice time.

He behaved today, it went as I planned it thankfully!

Ooh coming over to Wales, were are you headed to P?

Hi all, still amazingly boring around here with no payments going out until next week it's tempting to make extra payments but I need to be strong and keep the money in the account for all the trips and bits and pieces going on in the next few weeks. I suppose boring is good though.

I have moved £100 to the savings account for dd's plastering in her bedroom, I'll put some more in when I get paid from second job next week and then the last part when dh gets paid on 1st March.

Got first statement for new card, I did a small payment the other day to check it would go through OK so this is all set up on my mobile banking. Perhaps I can scratch my itch as it were about making payments by sending over Tilly Tidies to chip away at it.

Surveys still going on, only need 2 more with govyou before payout, yay!

Back to boring land, C x

North Wales again. We were planning on South Wales for a change as DH has never been down there and I've only spent a weekend but we got a good deal at a place between Porthmadog and Beddegelert.

It's satisfying to keep making small payments isn't it. Keeps the motivation higher than making one big one then waiting a month.

Well done for getting so close on y0ugov. I think I still have about £17 to go to reach £50.
