    At that point of the evening he hadn't had that much to drink.... but it is a good job that the auction wasn't any later in the evening Otherwise I'd hate to think what he would have bid for!! It is exciting, in any event and I am very lucky to have him :happyhear

    So, anyway, back to my very real mfw challenge.... grocery shopping yesterday included a £5 off voucher, cashback for using my Halifax card, and a claim to shopmium for £3.22 so not bad. Got some nice ys buts too which will help the budget for the week go a bit further.

    Surveys and clicks are doing ok. I'm certainly on target to reach my self imposed challenge totals.

    And still no shoes bought.....

    Whispers.
    I bought boots yesterday.
    Bargain price & much needed.
    Not very exciting.

    Another SB payout requested this morning and enough in PA to allow me to withdraw although I shall see if I can wait a while to keep PayPal fees as low as I can. It's all going ok in my "money for nothing" challenge!

    Leftover chicken and chick pea thing for lunch....yum!!

    I did one on the bus on the way home from work...it takes a bit of patience as the rural mobile network is somewhat hit and miss!

    Still it was completed and I'm on target!

    A bit of cash from an, some from shopmium and my first payout from PA all hit the "money for nothing" account today and a bit of quidco cash has been requested. I'll soon have enough in there to justify me starting to read the matches betting thread again.

    Elsewhere, car insurance is due and we've managed to save £75. No cashback on top of that but that's ok....it's a very good premium.

    I'm looking forward to payday on Friday....my first since embarking on this new challenge and I can't wait to start moving money to the various pots to get the rewards etc!
