Weekends are really hard to get any more than about 10 points in a day! I am trying to keep my daily target streak going as then you bag more points next month, I will need to get going earlier on it today, although if the bingo offer had tracked then I would have smashed it

So, I woke up at my normal time, but I did bring the laptop upstairs last night so that I could stay in bed this morning. When I changed the bedding last night I put the big winter cover on over the duvet and the extra weight made me sleep like a baby last night

Tesco order done, Swagbucks goal almost reached - I managed to bag a survey, it was tedious but necessary as that means that I just need to watch a few video clips later to hit today's goal
Another round of Swago starts tomorrow so that should help this week a bit too 
So, my quidco money that should have arrived on tuesday isn't ready for paying out yet
Hopefully that will come in this week at some point, but if not I still need to be looking for every way possible to hit my target.
This morning I will get outside and do the car / garden jobs from my list, then ds will be home after lunch.Mortgage Total: £49,992/ £75,000

I got my first goal quite easily but it wants 550 for my second......I don't think so!!!!0

550 :eek: :eek: That's about a week's worth! I only go for the first one usually, unless they are fairly similar.Mortgage Total: £49,992/ £75,000

I know! I've done just over 150 today. I'm not going to bust a gut looking for many more?0

The bingo offer has now credited, so £10 Amazon voucher claimed from swagbucks. The new round of swago has started today (a way of earning extra points), so if anyone is still thinking about joining plesae use my referral code, http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/bbandme
as this will help me earn extra points
Salmon for tea tonight, I have bled the radiators but still they won't work, I think I will have to admit defeat and call someone out

Today was one of those manic days at work - I was in training for 4 hours and then another meeting for an hour, so none of my normal day stuff got done, so I will be playing catch up all day tomorrow :cool:
However, tonight the tesco shopping came and has been put away, then I decided I was too cold, so went on checkatrade, phoned a local (rather cute) heating guy who came round and fixed my radiators in half an hour :T :T It was the water pressure in the boiler, which is in the loft, had got too low, so he sorted that and bled the radiators and now it's working again :T He charged me £40 for the callout, which can come out of my household budget, I put £100 away each month for unexpected household expenses such as this. When it has accumulated enough I will use some for new carpets / decorating etc, but I'm happy to dip into it for stuff like this. So, I now have warm rooms again and all is good with the world
I'm almost at today's Swagbucks goal, so tonight will be a bath followed by dinner and chilling. Firstly I'm off to leave him a nice review on checkatrade though

Hurrah for heating being back on, and even more hurrah for cute guys to fix things!!0

Hurray indeed, although he is married
Still, was cute 
Today was another run of the mill kinda day, nothing major to report, I'm working towards today's swagbucks target, no unexpected money has turned up anywhere, I will mooch around later looking for some ways of finding some more pennies.Mortgage Total: £49,992/ £75,000
