    Just a quick update as I really can't be bothered to do any work as its wet, cold and miserable and there is no enthusiasm on site today.

    Surveys:

    PA: £5.07- £8.75 pending
    VO: £10.25 - Nearly enough to get another voucher :D
    PP: £4.90
    OP: £29.60

    I decided that I am going to attempt 218 things in 2018 :D My list is currently up to 72 items, some of which I can repeat but I want to get as close to 218 items as possible.
  • I haven't had any surveys on VO. Although I abandoned my account for a while but did all the prescreening questions until I got to bronze.
    Barclaycard: £4,217.55/£5 = 0.11% | Tesco £3,810.55/£3,770.55 = 1.05%
    Total: £8,027.80/£5 = 100%/0.06%
    Mortgage £99,692/£51,652.33 51.8%
    Car Loan: £9,217.20/7,527.38 81.67%

    I check it regularly, I get screened out of quite a few but it is worth persevering.

    That's why I really like yougov, I've never been screened out. Takes ages to build up enough points though...
  • Morning,

    Working from home today as I can't be bothered fighting with the trains. Got quite a few bits to do work wise and being at home, I'll be able to get it done without all the hassle on site.

    DH said last night that he wants us to go abroad next year, the kids need the experience and as I've never been abroad he says I need it too. I think it is doable, especially if DH gets a big commission payment but I'm not sure how much the holidays cost. It will also delay our DFD by a few months.

    Aiming for a NSD today, will be my first this month.

    Hoping to get more surveys done today too.

    Will try to get more of my list done today too.

    Thanks hun, I hadn't thought of it like that. x
  • Hi purplemum

    Glad the tax got sorted. We have been trapped by that before and its awful.

    Abroad holiday doesn't have to be hideously expensive either - the biggest barrier for us was the need to get the four passports but after that you can go really low budget if you need to. We do France in half term sometimes, Mon-Fri for cheap ferry, and then stay somewhere close to Calais with a swimming pool for the boys. It's still an adventure, still abroad and we all enjoy it.
