New but not new - Year 1 of 5!

Clear as mud, KC!!


I have the apps downloaded individually on my phone - they are slow at the moment because of the number of adverts they are putting in, and there is no way round that. Sometimes they do get stuck on an advert that needs manually exiting, so unless you're "babysitting" your phone it can sometimes remain stuck for a while.


So, I run the SB app first (as there are no adverts on there at the moment). Then I run the SBTV app, because although there are adverts, you only need to run 6 or 7 before it earns SBs. Plus, you generally get bonus rounds, so I tend to leave it running all day while I am at work.


Then, if I have reached the limits on those, I then work my way through the other apps - Indymusic, Lifestylz etc. However, at the moment with the length of ads that they are using, I am not getting through them all in the course of the day. I hope this will change in the new year!


Hope that helps!

It does, thank you! And it obviously gets you great results - must get round to finishing off my setup. I earn the basic points, but I know I could earn lots more.

You're finished work till after the holidays now? Have a lovely, lovely break - I bet you end up doing financial plotting though :rotfl: It's all enjoyable

Back in the office between Christmas and New year....but happy to have these few days off.

Enjoy the break and good luck with your 2018 budget. I'm reviewing 2017 warts and all to try and focus myself for 2018. Xx

It's quite a cathartic process, isn't it pinky?! Enjoy your goal setting. I will be doing some mind mapping later today I think!!

Also need to pick up the meat for boxing day and other yummies from M&S.....hurrah for swagbucks vouchers helping out in that one!!

Another £5 redeemed this morning from Instagc.... I didn't think I'd ever get started on that site but have had £20 this month from them so hoping to build in it now. It all adds up nicely!! If anyone fancies adding it to their own list feel free to use my referral code

https://www.instagc.com/1712247. Once you reach 500 points it unlocks loads of easier ways to get points. You can cash out from as little as £1 Amazon voucher when you reach 160 points. I generally wait until I have 800 points for £5 and am getting more into it now as an additional easy earning extra.

Right....coffee beckons. Happy Saturday everyone.

Happy Christmas then, betterthanever ... and, like beanie, thank you for your support. I think I'm getting the hang of SB so I'll go at instagc better than that, and use your referral code ths time

Thank you guys for all YOUR support too. I've said it many times, it is what makes MSE in general so successful, and definitely a reason we've stayed in touch for the last 10 years!!

Thank you for using my referral code KC.... I was slow to get started with it, but once you get those first 500 points, it really does start to add up reasonably quickly. And anything extra is always useful, of course!!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone.

DH is at work today and DS & DD are off to their dad's for a few hours so that gives me an opportunity to whizz through the house, get the ironing done, and prep as much of the next few days' worth of food as I can - red cabbage to get simmering, dauphinois potatoes to do, and a gammon to roast etc.

I'm fairly close to requesting another £5 from sb so hoping I can fit in that today as well, but won't stress about it if I can't - it will happen over the next day or so, I'm sure.

But first - off to the gym - I'm feeling in need of getting back into my routine. My broken hip is now repaired enough to make a real start - until now I have not had the confidence to do so (I broke it by over training, so it has messed with my head a bit as well as with my body) but I now feel too fluffy and squidgy for my liking, and so am taking control. I don't do new year's resolutions as I believe we can take control and make changes any day of the year - and today is that day for me. OK, so it will be offset by the mahoosive amount of food we have over the next couple of days, but hey ho - I am not prepared to wait any longer.....although I will be taking it very carefully and not being silly - I don't want to be back at square one, and I hope I have learned to listen to my body and accept that I am not 27 any more.....

Have a good one, whatever you do - happy festivities, quiet times, or whatever you plan on doing. xx
