2018 Benbenandme's Next Battle

£20 spent at Amazon on a birthday present - I have got £75 in Amazon vouchers now, from Swagbucks and Job Spotter, so I will transfer £20 from my gift fund into my brothers fund as i had already budgeted £20 for this gift from the gift fund and the vouchers aren't counted as earned until I spend them. Hope that all makes sense :rotfl::rotfl:

Beanielou you're right - I just read it back and it makes no sense :rotfl::rotfl:

So ...
(1) I earned Amazon vouchers from Swagbucks and Job Spotter (£75 at the moment).These aren't counted towards my brothers fund as they aren't cash.
(2) I put away £20 per month into my gift fund for birthdays and Christmas
(3) I needed to spend £20 on a gift so bought it from Amazon using vouchers
(4) I will transfer the £20 I would have spent from the gift fund straight into my brothers fund, in effect turning the vouchers into cash

Probably still not any clearer but it makes sense to me

It was actually clear~~sorry.

Morning all, the snow has all disappeared here now so normal service can resume. I have plans for a chilling out Sunday today - I've almost reached todays Swagbucks goal already, just 14sb's more to go. Other than that I plan to:

Top up the windscreen wash in the car
Buy petrol
Buy top-up shop bits for a couple of days
Do the ironing
Watch the football
Help ds with some revision
Walk the dog
Charge my fitbit
Sort home insurance renewal
Clear paperwork pile
Check banking
Swap kitchen cupboard around
Sort new SIM in phone
File paperwork
Parcel up ebay parcel

They are all minor jobs that will not take too long, overall it will be a lazy day

Home insurance is sorted - last year was £189, this year I have got it for £133 with £40 hopefully to come back from Quidco too :money:

Good deal on house insurance

£10 Amazon voucher redeemed from Swagbucks and I'm not too far away from my next £5 :j :j

It's that time in the month when I plug my referral for Swagbucks - if anyone here hasn't yet joined and is interested in doing so please use my referral code;

http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/bbandme

I regularly earn about £20 a month from there, sometimes more with a bit more effort, but generally about £5 a week :money:

Another £5 Amazon voucher claimed from Swagbucks :beer:

Tesco shopping has just pulled up outside so hopefully there will be something nice in there for dinner that I've forgotten I've ordered

So a rather early morning this morning, I couldn't sleep due to stuff going on at work again

So far this morning I have stripped my bed and remade it, brought all the washing / cups / shoes etc down from upstairs and put them in the appropriate place downstairs. I have tidied the lounge and kitchen, opened a few windows to get some fresh air in and now am catching up on here for ten minutes.

I need to take ds to the station in an hour or so to get the train to his Dads, then I need to pop round to drop off a birthday present. Other than that I'm not too sure what today's plans involve; I did think I'd go for a walk and do some job spotting but at the moment it's hammering down with rain so I may re-think that.

Tomorrow is Mothers Day so I need to sort out something for Mum. I'll be watching my footie, we've got Spurs tomorrow so I don't expect us to get anything from that game but we'll see
