Ah I never thought of that! Thank you will try there first then maybe buy something I need for my new house with the voucher

Chandelier.

£100 voucher is a good incentive!! Definitely sounds like a good start to the new year!

£10pp holidays are out soon. We are maybe looking at going to the lakes for a long weekend. We did this last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was an amazing break.

Hope all is well. I'll subscribe to your diary when on laptop and catch up now and again

Thank you so much for reminding me! I intend to book one of these this year. I booked a sun holiday a few years ago and went to Devon Cliffs Haven. We were bumped up to luxury and it was honestly one of the best holidays we've ever had. We'd sit on the balcony of the caravan watching seals in the sea every morning it was amazing. Definitely taking up this offer this year!

Got 25 extra tesco points today for doing a quick customer service survey and entered into a prize draw for £1000

Entered lots of competitions this morning, swagbucks, daily mail codes.

Didn't get a chance to go to the soft play centre as had to wait in for a parcel but definitely going tomorrow.

I'm thinking of booking one of those holidays too.

The first week of January turned out pretty great

I managed to make £210 on eBay (£100 of which is going towards rent arrears) and I've now reached my limit for selling so I need to ring eBay tomorrow to be able to sell more stuff.

I wombled quite a bit of points on receipts for tesco, boots and Morrisons and also found out when I logged into my tesco account that whoever moved into my old house used my last £3.00 tesco voucher so I contacted tesco and they gave me these back!

I complained to Rowse honey and got £4 worth of vouchers sent to me

I bought birthday presents for my mum from feelunique and have a £5 voucher from them.

My daily mail rewards and swagbucks are coming on great and I've entered lots of competitions!

Spent some quality time with the kidders too and tomorrow we're going out for tea and taking one of their friends with us. My youngest also starts scouts on Tuesday so he's looking forward to that.

This coming week I have a lot to do so by next Sunday I'm hoping to have:

- Wombled lots of receipts
- Entered a lot of competitions
- Baby's bedroom being plastered so fingers crossed I can make a start on that
- To have painted the living room
- Rent paid
- Ebay sorted out to sell more
- Bills sorted out

By the end of the month I'm hoping to:

- Have at least 1 win on competitions
- Overdraft paid off
- Baby's carpet and joiner paid
- Laptop fixed
- Living room decorated
- Sofas steam cleaned

I haven't posted for a few weeks due to a complete lack of motivation

My health has made me so anxious and depressed that I've had a hard time sticking to everything so I'm hoping to find some motivation this week to get back on track.

Virgin Media has been today to connect us and Sky has been cancelled so that's a start! I await a £100 voucher for signing up which will come in handy for house stuff.

My sofa was picked up by DFS and I received £454 refund which has been spent on catalogue bill, rent, council tax, getting my laptop fixed to enable me to work on my website and also on new bedding and towels.

Haven't really done any wombling lately as I got disheartened when trying to put the points on the staff must be aware of womblers and make it very difficult to put points on now.

I have also lagged behind with my daily mail rewards and have missed over a week now so need to start getting them again.

Will update when I have found some motivation somewhere and got myself out of this rubbish feeling! Hope everyone is doing ok!

I've moved from Sky broadband too and decided to go with EE, same price but we're getting fibre and a £70 payout from Topcashback!

I don't do Sky TV as refuse to pay their extortionate prices, we stream lots of TV and use Netflix too.
