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

Mine are similar to the one Aesop shows except they do oz/lbs and "Calories" as well - they are accurate to 1 gramme for example I weigh out my 40Grmmes of porridge for breakfast and easily know whether I've got 39 g or 41 g !

You have to put whatever you're using for a scale pan on them and press the "On" button. they then "zero" and you put whatever you want to weigh in the plastic dish or whatever and they tell you to 1 g what it weighs - Brilliant !

I just typed "kitchen scales" into ebay and you get a load of options.

Happy weighing x

After receiving another p60 from one of the agencies I worked for last year I realised I had completed my tax return wrong, I have adjusted it now and I am due another £112 refund which is awesome. Also done about 13EUR £10 worth of writing jobs. I won't count any of this though until the moneys been refunded, and the jobs have been approved x

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

I'm not sure about this, as I always pay yearly to save money and look around just before it's due. I've always been able to take my no claims bonus with me.

I suppose you will lose the current year's if you terminate early, but you should be able to take anything earned earlier surely, as it's your previous bonus not the current company's. I had a quick look on a couple of sites on Google and they seem to say the same. I just put in
'If I terminate my car insurance early will I lose my no claims bonus ?' HTH

Had a survey for Prolific at £3.50 but site seems to be in disarray today and gave up trying to complete it after about 15 mins Just £2.88 added today from bank interest

Hope you all have a winning Wednesday

Thanks for that useful info, Lynne. Must do a bit of Googling today and find out what's going on. My renewal is due next month and a massive price-hike would be very hard to cope with:(.

Lovely to see you sounding more upbeat now:T, even though Prolific was playing up.

Nothing hun.

I was reading Martins newsletter and some people had changed insurance midway and saved loads. I tried but not going to work for me.

Although some of the company you can get a quote now which may be cheaper than renewal and save the quote. Then in 30 days you can implement at the cheaper price as they honour it.

Looks like I will be sticking with my current company lol as they should quote me cheaper this year.

Made an eBay sale last night minutes after putting item on.

Will have breakfast and work out where I am upto.

Also got £5.10 from onepulse

Epic fail on eBay - none of my listings had bids. Am going to relist them all tomorrow and add the remaining items (if I manage to sort them out first).

Today managed £3 survey, £8 ms and £15 task.

Surfchik80

Checking in with:

£1.52 eBay sale
£5 - gumtreed a battered plastic shed that we got for free
£15 - gumtreed a kids trike
£25.31 - ipoll cashout - I really liked this when they were doing missions, but they seem to have overhauled it recently with no notice and they only do surveys now which don't interest me at their payment levels. Luckily, I only had to do one of them to reach redemption level, so I think I'll let this one go now.

So, total now £93.55. Not bad considering I was only aiming for a fiver a day this month. Hope everyone is looking forward to the sunshine coming back again this weekend!
