    Great news on the ebay sales and the surveys, I must remember to add a prepaid card to my ds school dinner account. Thank you so much for sharing that I never would have though of it.

    Hope you have a good day, H x

    That's a good idea about the prepaid card!

  • Hi
    Glad you found it useful regarding prepaid cards.

    Not a huge amount going on really as i'm skint and counting down to payday, received £25 giftcard in the post this morning which I only ordered a few days ago from max1miles so super quick delivery.
    Did a shop at aldi and booths today and spent £55 all together, also went to Sainsburys but used nectar points to pay for DH breakfast bars that he has every morning, got enough to last him the month.

    Me and DH are off out to a local restaurant tomorrow night, should be a low spend as I received a gift card for my birthday.

    Have a good weekend x
  • Afternoon, so life in the PWPS household is busy and everyone seems to be running in different direction, but we are all well and happy so that's the main thing.

    Payday has been and gone, money divvied up and its an expensive month but all being well we will break even. We do have lots of things due to be paid this month and will have to stretch the pennies far and wide.
    Did a grocery shop yesterday spent £50 did get quite a few whoopsies which have been put in the freezer and claimed back £5 from greenjinn, Might need a small top up shop later in the week but going to try and buy the bare minimum and use up.

    Surveys and ebay continues few items ending tomorrow which will bring in a few squids and redeemed a £5 prepaid mastercard yesterday which has been put straight onto DS lunch account, I'm hoping to keep doing this over the summer hols and build up a reserve.

    Cottage went out to rent with EA and have had a few views and looks like we have someone who wants it, just waiting for searches etc to come back, feel really positive about this house has such a lovely homely feel to it.


    Hope everyone is enjoy some sunshine and the nice long weekend xx.
  • £15 redeemed from survey site and 3 items listed on ebay.
  • Morning, Been wide awake since 6am so I got up and have been pottering around, dishwasher is on as I forget to switch it on at bedtime last night :mad:, chickens have been let out and fed and I have listed and scheduled 2 items to come on ebay this evening.

    Desperately want to put some washing on but that means opening the garage door which is squeaky and outside our bedroom window, Dh was at work late last night and I don't want to wake him up so it will have to wait. Dh day off from full time work but his mate needs an extra pair of hands for a few hours so he is off to work for him today, its all extra pennies for the pot, DS is also at work this afternoon/evening.
    I need to get on with paperwork I do for local farmer as he needs it sorting for a meeting next week, I also need to nip into town as DD needs some revision bits, I need some foundation I use from the body shop and I think I have a £5 voucher on my bodyshop card to use. I have an order to pick up from M&S, they sent me a voucher on my sparks card for £5 off health and beauty with no minimum spend, so I spent exactly £5 and had it delivered to store :D love a freebie.

    Tea tonight is a whoopsied gammon joint with roast pots and cauliflower cheese, need to get some baking done as well, so might make a cake and some rocky road.
    If I have time I want to try and get out in the garden for half an hour and sort it out as the weeds are taking over.

    Have a great day xx

    Hi, thanks for popping by, signup to as many sites as possible, so sites as better than others. I-say and panelbase are good as they seem to send out lots of surveys and redemption is low. YouGov is a good one but redemption is £50 so takes a long time. I tend to do the surveys if i'm up early in a morning whilst having a cuppa or in an evening whilst watching TV.
