    My three reasons to be thankful today are:

    • Mortgage payment has gone out for this month and it's knocked me down into the £72k's
    • Accepted for the car ad campaign £££
    • A bath and am tucked up in be nice and early :)

  • i like your 3 things to be thankful for. i watchjeff brazier his minute of gratitude a day he does on twitter. ive started doing this thinking to myself before bed even if its something as small as the kids not arguing

    i love a new diary too mine was all nice till dentist cancelled and rearranged so already got messy scribbling out
    good luck with your targets the car advertising sounds intresting
    JAN WINS- pepsi tshirt,
  • My December daily target bonus is in for Swagbucks (593) and it's meant I can claim another £5 paypal already :j So that's £10 in 2 days, woohoo!! it will slow down now but it's been a great start :T

    Can I be nosy please benben?

    Is there a reason for you taking Paypal and not Amazon vouchers?

    I am just getting back into SB and will be at payout soon and cant decide whether to take Paypal which needs more points but is ready cash or whether to take Amazon vouchers and then pay myself back from other pots as and when I use them (like you do).
    I know at the moment there is a sale on so Paypal is not that many more points than Amazon at the moment but presume the sale will end soon.

    EE - I did Amazon vouchers before xmas as they were on sale but I find this time of year I don't buy much from Amazon so I can't claim the cash from other pots if that makes sense? Later in the year I will probably go back to Amazon vouchers again but for now want to get some cash in the pot ;)

    Stressed ... I'm liking it too, it makes me reflect on the day and smile about silly things :)

    Hi Benben, old time diary reader here and want to thank you for all the motivation from reading your brilliant progress. Also wondered if you have heard of the "lucky numbers bingo" loophole/strategy on certain bookie sites? I have managed to make a bit from this recently despite being an existing customer. If you remember the bingo britain offer from a million years ago it is similar.

    Thank AuntyEm, I haven't heard of that but I do remember the Bingo Britain offer and that was fab! I will investigate :)

    I had an okay day at work today but have come home to a phone call to tell me one of my housemates from uni passed away yesterday. Sh had lung cancer but was doing really well, I spoke to her last week and she'd had her latest scan results back and they were good, but she picked up an infection and went downhill very fast :o:o The funeral is on Sunday as she was Jewish, so I will be going there this weekend. Rubbish start to the weekend :(

    Thankyou Ramble :D I'm not feeling very inspirational tonight, I just feel a bit :cry::cry:

    I have reached my Swagbucks goal for today, I might get into bed with the laptop as I don't feel very positive tonight.
