    I love seeing how people manage their money x

    Thank HHD and LABMUM. I like reading what people spend on as well and also seeing how they sort their money out.

    I've nothing much to report really. Prolific has been quiet the past few days, I seem to be on a cycle of getting some good surveys for a fortnight then it goes quiet for a fortnight.

    Shoppix points are at 2280/3200 (71% of target) and RH is at 360/1500 (24% of target). I put the same receipts into both of these apps and yet I'm streets ahead on cashing out with Shoppix.

    I've got about £15 left in my purse to last me until Tuesday which I should think is do-able. Need to work out my figures for October tomorrow so I'm all ready to allocate my money on payday.

    And that's about it really. Hope you're all keeping well and life is being kind to you. xx
  • PA is quiet at the moment. I'm 10p away from cashing out £25 on One Poll, so I hope I get a survey soon :).

    How are DD and DS? We're taking DS3 back to uni on Saturday :(.
    Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
    Debt in July 2017 = £58,766 😱 DEBT FREE 31 OCTOBER 2017 :T 🎉
    EMERGENCY FUND 1 = £50/£5,000. EMERGENCY FUND 2 = £10/£5,000.
    CHRISTMAS SAVINGS = £0/£500. SEF = £1,400/£12,000 PREMIUM BONDS ME = £350. PREMIUM BONDS DH = £300.
    HOLIDAY MONEY = £0 TIME LEFT TO PAY OFF MORTGAGE = 5 YEARS 1 MONTHS

    I find RH better than shoppix because they keep saying the receipts are blurred but not on RH no problem at all.

    Fingers crossed for that 10p - you'd think you'd automatically get a survey just because you're so near wouldn't you. DD and DS are fine, thanks for asking. DD is back in lectures this week - for a grand total of 9 hours a week! She's been working a few extra shifts lately so is a happy bunny with the extra money. DS is plodding along at school and still Xboxing :rotfl:

    Hope the journey back with DS is a good one and he settles back in quickly. xx

    That's a pain with Shoppix because their points really do mount up a lot quicker :o Not teaching granny to suck eggs but I wonder if it's the angle of your phone. I have to hold mine totally level over the receipt whereas with RH I can be on more of an angle if that makes sense. xx

    Absolutely agree Beanie especially in this day and age with all the modern technology at their fingertips that they can use for research etc.

    I think DS will be the same with gaming. It's certainly not something that he seems to be losing interest in. xx

    Hi NMC :) Thanks for popping in. I'm not posting as much at the moment but things are ticking along as usual in the background. Hope you're managing to get yourself back on track after the summer. There's always something thought isn't there that requires that blasted thing called cash :o xx

    Hope it works for you :) I don't have any problems with it but Mum couldn't get to grips with taking the photos and gave up. The plus side of that is she gives them to me now :T xx
