    That's superb! I've not had anything from them for a few days, so hopefully am due a couple soon! I did get a couple of prolific ones today so I'm happy with that and a little flurry from swagbucks but nothing too exciting.

    Thanks KC. I've also received £20 from shopalong today so that's happily been transferred to the money for nothing account, which is building up nicely. Happy days!

    I had to chase it a couple of times but probably only a couple of days. Remember that there is the time difference as they are in the us, and the weekends are not manned that much. Perseverance will pay off!

    So....I took out £200 from my money for nothing account and bought some premium bonds. It will stop me dipping into it for frivolous things and hopefully will steadily build up over the 5 year period from "free" money.

    It's there for emergencies if needed but hopefully will either go towards our forever home or will pay for more adventures.

    Today, though, I'm focusing on a hangover......this having a life thing that I've embraced can be tough sometimes!!!
