  • Well i am still alive and kicking i hope everyone is getting on okay and are debt busting well. I am at work boooooo.

    So whats new with me i am living with my new old partner if that makes sense i reconciled with an ex in July and we have being living together since early August. I am also back too work i returned early August too. Shift wise i am working 4 on 4 off which is fitting in with my mental health well and touch wood i havent had a blip and i am not medicated currently.

    I am back exercising 3-4 days a week cycling only. My backs still not the best I cant run any longer but i am able to cycle 3-4 days a week.

    Surveys are flying at the minute i have earned 20quid this month already i will post again tomorrow i hope everyone is well.

    glad your ok scott.

    the reconciliation and moving is a big and seemingly quick step, hope it works.
  • Its working we have sat and talked a hell of alot and we have being on and off for 2 and a half years, but come early August i moved in even though most of July i was there. We are getting on great, living together is okay i was bricking it that i wouldnt get any me time but i work 4 on 4 off so i get loads. Hence cycling lol We work well, we have a holiday booked for next year, i am setting down and i am stopping being an idiot. My mental health is horrendous if i live alone.

    Well the debt busting continues I have dropped all of 86p off Qmee

    £12.12 is on its way for a pet insurance i took on months ago with animal friends, CASHBACK pays.

    My partner we have managed between the two of us get her too 39.90 on One POLL.

    Bar that survey wise its being quiet as i was on nights last night but i am done after 645am this morning until Monday next week as i have a few holidays in.

    Another debt of mine will be going the journey soon i have a lowell debt at 45quid that i am hammering down.

    Well my update i am back to work for the next three nights (i am at work now boooooooo) Work is going well i am just slowly dreading at the minute the rides into and home from work its getting so so cold, i have invested in thermals but i need better gloves.


    My 16year old 6 foot 2 son is up, i feel old especially since he is now taller than me. I am paid on Wednesday yay survey wise the money is flying in, i had a tot up on paypal and i have earned £39.80 so far this month. Surveys pay ladies and gents. 2 days till payday and i have about 10quid in the bank. I just wish Tescos would get there fingers out of there backside and pay me the 75pounds cashback i am waiting on via top cashback.

    My sons train up to the north east was delayed 35 minutes at the weekend so that will be 55 quid back at some point too.

    Xmas shopping will start taking place on my days off, cashback time. I hope everyone is well.
  • Great to hear things are going so well for you Scott . Nice to hear you are with a lady again and that is going ok.

    I am having a good month on surveys as well , but not quite at your standard yet. Get those gloves , you don't want to be freezing going to and from home.
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

  • Hi Scott. Finally caught up with your diary. I'm pleased to hear that your relationship is going well and the surveys are too. You sound so much more positive in your outlook.

    Sorry that your back is still playing up though and you cant run. However cycling is a great exercise. Do what SG2 suggests though and buy those gloves!:)

  • Well heres my update i am a tiny bit skint now after my 16 year old lad being up for a week. We went too the flicks at the weekend and saw the new terminator film, my money saving tip is save your money as i thought the movie was garbage.

    On a plus note we are getting our money back for the tickets, we went to the cinema in darlington not our usual odeon cinema. We we got there it was going through a major refit, the odeon website didnt say this. Net result it was like walking into a bombsite, only one toilet in the entire working/pop corn everywhere, premier seats were not premier seats etc I went onto the odeon website and complained so we are getting our money back.

    As far as my other updates nothing is new really, work is the same its going well since i am back i am hammering all my targets trying to get a big end of year bonus.

    My relationship is going Ace we have a holiday booked for me and my step daughter and son for next May Fuerterventura here we come.

    Money wise i am quite prepared for Xmas I have just a few bits to get my partner and step daughter are nearly all bought for.

    Survey wise its all good, i have clicked in October from surveys a grand total of 56.87. I dropped this morning 5pound from both Swagbucks and Opinion Outpost. Everything else survey wise has being fairly steady i tend just to do surveys these days on Qmee/Curious Cat/Prolific Academic and Opinium Research. I do use the odd other survey site but theres so many that have gone to junk.

    Re my back its all good just my running days i cant take it, the next day it kills. Re gloves lol i have bought some gloves by a company called Sealskinz which hopefully will be better.
  • Well my update i hope everyone is well, my days involved the joys of being a night shift worker ie sleeping most the day lol I have done three prolific surveys since i got up. So thats me on 315 confirmed, about another 3quid in pending.

    2 night shifts too go for me i am done in i am struggling with the cold a bit. Sealskinz gloves cant come soon enough.

    Well heres my update, i received back the cash from the odeon it pays to have a whinge lol.

    I have also received £70.70 in cashback from topcashback today for me switching from 02 across too Tesco Mobile. I will be honest i cant fault tesco mobile, i have gone from the s8 to a samsung a70 which does everything i need. And my phone bill has gone from 38quid down to just over 21 pounds.

    Next on the finance front i have switched my motorbike insurance a years no claims has made a heck of a difference my payments same again have dropped from 38quid down to 21 whoop whoop. My motorbike tax i have just paid out too it cost me the grand some of 1.75 a month for the next 11 months.

    On the survey front i wouldnt say i am flying but with my Top Cashback money MTD i have earned 81.89. I am waiting on a payment coming from Opinion Outpost and hopefully soon prolific will approve two surveys I am waiting on. Regarding prolific that should be another 6-7 quid when they both get approved.

    Other updates all is good re the lovelife, Xmas is i am nearly sorted bar stocking fillers and one of my oh's presents.

    I have lost an old email address but i am chasing everything up get my Scott_Weiland user name reset. 

    I might as well do a mini update since i am here, I am still with my partner its being 3-4 years now. I am still in the same job but have being telemonkeying from home since June due to covid which is brill no more freezing trip on the bike. 
    I am fighting fit after getting Covid in November that put me in hospital for 2 weeks. Covid like everyone else in the uk i wish it would do one. Debt wise I am down to round about 5000 and yes before anyone asks i still use survey sites and cashback sites lol but not as much.
    Once i can get my new user name verified i will start posting on peeps journals and diaries again if i did it now people would be like who are you. I am just waiting on my yahoo username being verified.
