Afternoon diary.


Its been a lazy day today and not a lot seems to have got done, children didn't get up until mid morning, we went into small town and posted an £bay parcel, did a small top up shop of milk, bread and spaghetti hoops, spent £3.10.


No £bay sales today have taken a photo of todays item but not listed yet, will do it this evening whilst DH is out.


Surveys slow again to day and not redeemed anything, do they not realise I need cash to pay off debt and amaz0n vouchers to buy DD some trainers.

How dare they not send you free trainers!!:D:D

Sounds like a nice relaxing day to me!

Morning diary.


Well the morning has been eventful, we have played hunt the hamster, little monkey has 2 cages and the tubing that attaches the 2 together had come loose in the night and she had escaped, found her under the sofa in the kids living room.


DH is only working this morning so I've decided as todays going to be nice weather wise we would go to a local seaside town for the afternoon, its only a small place but there is a pier, crazy golf and a lovely beach, will have an early lunch at home then go and spend a few hours in the sunshine, hopefully it won't cost too much.


I will also make a bolognaise sauce in the slow cooker so that's ready for when we get in, will stop us being tempted to stop and eat somewhere on the way home.


Sig has been updated as BT to MB NA has gone through, havn't seen TESC0 card that low in a loooooong time.


Better go and get dressed and get some jobs done.

Morning diary.


We had a lovely afternoon yesterday, sun was shining and the beach was lovely, did spend £18 on ice creams, drinks and games, but we had a lovely family trip out and the money had been budgeted.


Was very good yesterday when I made bolognaise sauce, used 2 thirds for the bolognaise and 1 third for mince filling for cottage pie and had enough bolognaise left over last night to make a lasagne, lots of veggies were used in all of it to pad it out.


Today children want to go swimming which will cost just over £5, whilst they are swimming I will nip to sa!nsburys as we need milk and more breakfast cereal and as I have £5 in nectar points I will use those instead of hard cash.


Todays to do list-
List item on £bay + relists (nothing selling at the minute).
Meal plan + shopping list.
Ironing.
Clean bathroom.
sweep + mop through downstairs.
Bake lemon cake.
Surveys.


I'm sure there is more I need to do, just can't think at the minute.


Have a good day.x.

Back from swimming and kids had a blast as the pool was full of blow up things to jump on and off.


I nipped to sa!nsburys and spent 57p in cash and used £5 of nectar points, managed to get a big box of crunchy nut cornflakes for £1.57, which DS is dead chuffed about as they are one of his favourite cereals and I only buy when on offer, also got milk and toothbrushes, so that's a couple of things to knock off tomorrows big shop list and will save me a few pounds.


I have Redeemed £8 from a survey site which hit paypa1 straight away (love c1nt surveys for that) and have sent it straight to N£XT.


Going to make the most of this afternoons glorious weather and get as much washing done today as possible before the yucky rain arrives.

Sounds like you are making excellent progress and having fun at the same time. We also love a day at the seaside. Well done for being so organised with the bolognaise sauce and avoiding the chippy which is where we usually end up!

I am really considering survey sites again and have joined pro1ific academic which screens you before offering you the surveys.

Hope today's weather isn't too dismal where you are. Its awful up hear in the North East.

I've not heard of that survey site I will take a look thankyou. I am doing a lot of surveys at the minute as I'm off work for the summer holidays, once I'm back at work in September I know I will slow down and not get as many done, just won't have the time.


Weather is pants here too, i'm on the north west coast, don't think we have had it as bad as in the south though.

definitely try prolific academic - there aren't loads each day, though there are more during term time, but they pay properly for each survey and you will almost always be pre-qualified before your start so it won't even show you ones you won't be eligible to do.
