    Morning all, well the last lie-in didn't work either as my body just didn't get the clocks changing :o So I went out and did some more job spotting and have just redeemed another £15 Amazon voucher :beer: I've also had a nice morning walk and am now enjoying a cup of tea :D

    Ds will be back after lunch, before then I need to do some food shopping as the fridge is bare :o

    You are on fire with the Job Spotter app:)
    I saw lots of ads in town yesterday....it was so busy though and we were rushing through, but I'm tempted to go in and snap some pics one afternoon now...
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    I'm really chuffed with it - it is such an easy app to use and can be done anywhere / anytime :)

    So ds is home and I think the few days break has done us both good as he's being lovely so far ;):) The chicken is nearly done, it smells lovely and is making me sooo hungry :D

    After dinner it will be baths, printing off homework and an early night all round. I still need to find another 30 swagbucks from somewhere too, the apps have tracked much better today but still not enough to get me to my daily goal yet. I do have enough to cash out another £5 Amazon voucher though.

    So it's the end of the month - I haven't had a chance to finalise the banking, but overall its been a good month for making money.

    This morning I paid the remainder of the deposit for the cruise, so now I just need to keep plugging away to find the rest :)

    So tomorrow is a new month, I'm hoping to make:
    • £5 Swagbucks per week - total £20
    • £10 Job Spotter
    • £10 Global test market surveys

    Plus whatever else comes my way!!

    It doesn't sound so bad when you say it like that ;)

    So, today has been another mad busy day - (inspection time at work :eek:). Finally it's over, we find out the result tomorrow.

    Other news - I picked up a couple of nice freebies from Shopmium and Checkoutsmart tonight - a pack of biscuits and 2 bags of sweets, all receipts uploaded :D

    I've had a bath, got my pj's on and had soup and fresh bread for tea and am now chilling out waiting for the apprentice :)
