Re: surveys
Please can anyone recommend any good surveys that are available via app on my phone. Doing them on the pc isn't a great option for me.LBM 11/06/2010: DFD 30/04/2013Total repaid: £10,490.310 -

Good afternoon all,
Clf, sorry I don't know about surveys on mobile as I always do mine on a pc.
Todays list (same old same old but keeps me on the straight and narrow!)
* checked sockets all off that could be off
* run the washing machine on the quick 30 degree wash
* ds1 had ys bread for toast with his eggs for breakfast
* ds2 to free school breakfast club
* gym class done and water bottle refilled
* met a friend for a :coffee: I paid for mine using gift card earnt from swag surveys so no effect on bank balance
* popped into mr t and got just the tea bags and milk I'd gone in for
* brunch at home
To do
* hang washing on radiators to dry when they go on tonigt
* make families lunches for tomorrow
* check banking/update spreadsheet / email < back to me as a back up
* share bath water (let hair dry naturally)
Thats about it for today! Take care allSticking with the "Small things" thread to keep up us on the straight and narrow.

ziggy I know what u mean about the cough with the cold. I'm still abit chesty with abit of a cough and apologised to the dentist before he started in case I started coughing with the chair going back.
Meeting last night went really well considering I had no ooooph and wasnt really prepared:j
Busy today
*vets for missing cat now home for teeth-an eye watering bill:eek:. Have vouchers for another £10 off the bill
*docs for me for another sample to go in
*dentist for me and def not a NSD as home bargains next door. Popped in to get a few bits I needed but a limited spend:o
*popped into town to drop things off at CS. it was a big bag, glad to be slowly decluttering. Found an item that DD loves much cheaper than bought online/shops. We always buy this smellie item (different flavour) for each other every year and have a competition of who can get it the cheapest:D. I won 2018 and hopefully will win this year:) but with DD being a very savvy shopper I could potentially lose!!!
Very proud that DD at 19 is very much into her saving and ive have helped her with accounts and understand about financial issues. She is hardcore MSE.......with her BF in training:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
*RM survey posted, still need to update the system
*eating from freezer tonight.
* DNMS I am also changing bank accounts for the golden handshake deal. Need to complete and pop in post tomorrow.
That sounds like a killer of a shift pattern for work. Hope things go smoothly for you.
Off to sort out room ready for when I pick up missing kitty now home with no teeth
Have a great day everyone x
Nearly forgot off to check quidco first......that's bec Ally hasn't posted that I've forgotten!!Decluttering challenge 2023🏅⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hi guys,
It’s so long since I posted on here and I’d really like to get back in the habit! So far this week:
Checking online banking
Moved birthday money into savings
Updated 2019 budget spreadsheet
Sold a coat I have never worn for £50 last night! Need to pay the cash in to the building society later this week and move it into savings
Need to download the Onepoll app!
List a dress for sale
Need to do a food shop but will do this online to limit overspending
All meals from stores so far
Caught up on radio programmes I’d missed over Christmas using iPlayer
I’m on leave for a couple of weeks. We’ve just had a cycle of IVF (NHS) and this is the waiting period to see if it works! It’s a bit miserable being on holiday in January but I’m going to see it in a good way - lots of opportunity to read, catch up on box sets and have some wintry walks with poochy. I may go crazy and actually use our slow cooker for the first time in 5 years!!
Hope everyone is well!02 0% £719.20 £579.34
