    Feeling very sleepy today, I doubt much/any moneymaking will get done today:o. Was up most of the night waiting for a phone call to collect OH from the airport. Take-off kept being delayed because of mechanical problems:eek:. I'm glad I stayed at home and set off when he phoned to say they were actually boarding rather than go early and wait there. I used to like wandering around at airports but it's usually just a temptation to spend money I can't afford nowadays:eek:

    Just reporting £6 received from an international postal survey.

    can you have a catnap today to make up the lack of sleep?

    Yes, I already had a mini one soon after we got home but was woken up by my cat who wanted to play and had no plans to nap with me:rotfl:

    Will try again later;)

    Has anyone ever received one of tehse ?

    I get these on a fairly regular basis, along with similar messages from 'Microsoft" and "Google" and general phishing emails. I just report them to Microsoft (via my email inbox) and check each website separately. Like Aesop said, just manually check your PP account and I'm sure you'll find it's fine.

    This morning I was woken by the postman bringing me a cheque from the Royal Mail as they lost an ebay parcel I posted last month. I already refunded the buyer so it was nice not to be out of pocket. Although it feels like extra money, it's not so I'll not count it towards the challenge.

    What I can count though is a £5 Receipthog payout (finally!!) and £108.55 for some work I did last month. Brings me back on target for the month.

    You can get really good kitchen scales for about a tenner which can solve that problem for you - Sorry to tell you After the event tho :o

    Also for items above 2 kg Collect Plus is worth thinking about and Aesop swears by My Hermes I believe :cool: Annoying though isn't it ?

    Thanks for this Procrastinater, can anyone recommend good scales in this price range as the ones I have aren't very accurate. Thanks! H x

    has anyone else tried changing car insurance for cheaper premiums before policy end and forfeiting your no claims bonus?
