  • Wow - all the surveys! Mine all seem to be paying out at the same time too, I have finally twigged about which ones will not screen me out or bore me to death while completing them. I've had £45 in Amazon vouchers in the last week, which has been a huge help as there have been some things I need but have been putting off buying. We have Prime for the movies, etc (far cheaper than sky!!!) but I check the box for slower delivery and get a £1 credit towards a kindle book too! :j

    I'll keep further vouchers in my account to spend on xmas presents. I'm going to try and be a bit more organised this year, though I don't know if I will ever be up to your standards! :o

    It's always the same, get nothing for a while then they all cash out at the same time.

    I'm happy with that anyway, I just load the vouchers to my Amazon account then spend then whenever I see a good deal.

    Just need about another 9 points for a £50.00 cheque with populous so hopefully soon!

    I haven't always been this organised, just trying to do what I can to make it easier on myself at the end of the year. This is a habit I have picked up from my Mum, so thank god for her!

    So the totals haven't changed at all, waiting on the payments made to the CC's to clear then I will update the totals.

    Didn't bother weighing myself this morning, will get back into that tomorrow morning.

    Bagged a bargain this morning in Sainsburys ;

    Thank you Mum keyring, mug and pomander all for £3.45 - that's Mothers Day 2018 sorted already :money:

    Will update my present inventory with that later.

    The most recent IOUtoCC's have already been PIF, just waiting on the payments to clear which will be during the week.

    Will try to get rid of some of the others later in the month depending on how I can stretch the remaining funds in my account.

  • Hardly anyone has had any yet that I know of.

    Oh have you been stalking me :p

    Thanksssss :D

    I've been trying to use more cash to be honest because when I 'switch' stuff it doesn't feel like a real transaction to me :p plus we are really stepping up with saving our spare coins so try to go to the bank about once a week to lift out my funds then when they are gone they are gone!

  • Cashed out £6.00 paypal from one of my survey sites, will just leave that in there until I think of something to buy for Christmas 2017.

  • Okay so I know this is a DFW board but I feel I must tell you of some fab bargains I spotted today online at House of Frasers.

    http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Beauty+Gift+Sets/S105,default,sc.html?srule=price-asc&fix&spcl

    Bayliss and Harding 4 Christmas Cracker with toiletries £10.00 reduced to £2.00

    Elizabeth Arden Holiday Set £349.00 reduced to £50.00 - This is AMAZING if you use their stuff which I don't.

    Loads of other bits on there.

    Dxxx
  • Wow do you think people really paid £350 for the Elizabeth Arden. The bag is nice tho to be fair but not £350 nice!

    I couldn't help but have a look! Thank you. xx
