Round and round the overdraft....soon to be no more

CL, DP paid on his card, it's £10.55 each so not a lot but we aren't turning our nose up at it.

Claimed my second £50 from YouGov - that's £100 now since I started it just over a year ago. It's gone staright to my CC which is now only £250.

Opinium is at £16 (£25 payout) and OnePoll is at £36 (£40 payout) I could still be waiting for them in 2018 :rotfl:

Aldi shop was under £50 but we forgot to buy wraps and they didn't have any porridge so another shopping trip tomorrow.

Very lazy day, washer is on and tidying up. Can't believe half term is nearly over. :(:(

It would be good if you could get opinium research to drop to drop soon, re them what they do is once you hit the 25 market they usually a week later send you a request form thing.

At that point you can specify how you want the money ie paypal or specify your bank details etc from here its usually upto a week to ten days and you will have the funds. I just wish one poll worked at the same speed ie 4-6 weeks.

I am at 138.75 on opinium so i am a veteran lol.

Scott, I've paid the majority of my credit card off with either top cash back payouts or survey payments. It's great! I only tend to do those 3 really (plus PA) as i hate the ones where they kick you off after giving them loads of info and spending 15 minutes sat at the laptop.

I don't mind surveys if they are fair!

Just signed up for Power of Opinion’s - hoping this one moves quick.

Still got £50 outstanding on TCB but don’t think that will pay out for 4-5 months.

Love it when the clocks go back......until later when it goes dark at 5 pm

Sorted out our meal plan for the next few days

Sun - paprika & chiorizo chicken and rice
Mon - frozen fish, chips & mushy peas
Tue - no kids so it’s ‘wing it’ night - egg on toast ?
Wed - chicken casserole & mash
Thur - savoury mince and rice

Friday is yet to be decided as we again have no children.

I actually managed to get to the gym this morning - I havent been for close to 2 months. My hormones have been terrible and now I'm on HRT things seem to have settled down. I had an horrendous cough & cold for 3 weeks which made me feel terrible, then I had a week of toothache. Hopefully that's it and I can get back to exercising.

Spends have been high this week, it's half term so I always seem to spend more.

Mon - £9.99 in the Co-op
Tues - £35.70 dentist
£10.50 school shirts Asda
£9.43 Morrisons
£3 chips
Wed, Thur, Fri - London - spent £156.55
Sat - £49.76 - Aldi
£40 petrol
Sun - £27.73 Morrisons (inc a bottle of Bacardi as on offer £16)

Total spends = £186.11 inc London £342.66 -eeek!!

Back to normal next week with limited spending!

Half term does seem to have gone so quickly! Hope the next half goes well for you.

Thanks Honey, busy time with the ‘glitter’ season as you well know.

I also have parents evening, my class assembly, another lesson observation and the usual book scans, learning walks and assessments. Oh and some teaching :rotfl:

Who’d be a teacher eh :eek:

Morning Louby, just catching up now.

Glad you enjoyed your trip to London, although the journey back could've been smoother. I had to claim for a delayed train with Northern Rail and they made it soooooo difficult to do.

Good to hear you're feeling much more like yourself. Just in time for a manic period!
