the first time i tried with swagbucks, I gave up, but came back and worked slowly through it, I usually have the video running in background then check surveys, I dont bother with the free offers as there usually sign up/cost money.

I will have another look over the weekend and see if I can get into it, it would be good to save amazon vouchers for xmas time.

I agree with the swagbucks comments - it's a slog to get the points but they do build up eventually if you keep at it!

Evening all,


Good day at work and have had my meeting with boss, hours are staying the same and as I thought a different bunch of challenging children to deal with.


I spent £13 in Sainsburys today on fruit, bread and milk.


Me and the kids had an easy tea of egg and chips tonight as DH is working late and will be fed at the farm he is working at.


I've done a few surveys this evening, checked bank account balance at sainsburys atm as still can't log onto banking, hope they hurry up and send me the login details, I hate not being able to check balance online.

Hi there just wanted to pop in and wish you the best of luck.
Your title made me laugh as my friend and I have a saying 'swim big' ,all about tackling life's challenges. It came about when I was explaining to her about my experiences at my local pool and not feeling worthy when swimming lengths in a packed pool. Pay enough for membership so have every right to be there too!!!

Thanks Mrs Boo Boo, I'm glad I made you smile.

Evening all.


Another crazy day at work over, only 2 days to go and then it's the weekend.


I have managed a NSD, but I will need to put fuel in car tomorrow, but only enough to see me through till payday.


DH is still at work and it will be another late night for him, joys of working in agriculture, has mean't he has been fed by others today which saves my shopping bill, me and the kids had a lazy tea of sausage sandwiches, carrot and cucumber sticks and ice cream for pud, really not a healthy tea but I couldn't be !!!!!d and i'm quite enjoying trying to stretch everything out until payday, I've made flapjack tonight for lunch boxes tomorrow as I had everything in and so didn't buy biscuits.


Still no login details from bank, fingers crossed they come tomorrow.


I've redeemed £3 from mysurv£y, once this lands in paypal it will go straight off the debt.


DD was in a good mood tonight as she had taken part in a running comp at school and had come 6th out of 30, so very proud of her.


Going to have a cuppa and then do some ironing, such a rock and roll lifestyle.

Afternoon.


Had a lovely couple of days as DH has been off work, not been anywhere to spend money but have had fun.


We went on a bike ride yesterday and had a BBQ last night as the weather was lovely, felt good to spend some time together as a family, bought some pear cider from Ald1on friday as it was only 95p a bottle, was lovely s and got the thumbs up from DH so that's a bonus, will be buying it again.


Today we decided to decorate the lounge, as the wall near the door was looking grubby and I can only wipe it down so many times before i'm taking the paint as well, used some cream emulsion we had in the garage, need to finish the woodwork later once kids are in bed, but the room looks cleaner and brigher and we were only using up what we had so no spend.


Sold a small item on £bay, just £2.00 but I've sent it straight to Tesc0 CC, I would like that card to be in the 6s by the end of July, its just psychological really but I know I will feel bette.


Going to light the BBQ again soon might as well use that to cook than use electric oven, especially as we use wood and briquettes as wood is free. Goin to make some kebabs, I've marinated the meat in the fridge over night, just chicken thighs I had in the freezer and I coated them in garlic and chilli. I need to get some baking done as well as need cakes for packed lunches tomorrow.

Afternoon diary.


Busy day at work and can't believe I still have 4 weeks to go until we break up for the summer.


Small spend today on a loaf of bread, was quite amusing feeding in 5p and 2p into the self checkout machine as I emptied the change jar this morning.


I have paid my last £6 off Tesc0 CC and as tomorrow is payday I will pay some more off, have done a few more surveys since coming home from work and earnt a few more pennies.


Going to have a quick pasta tea and then drop DS off at cricket, I think I will take the dogs for a walk by the canal as the weather is lovely and will be some quality with DH.


I think that's all from me for now.
