Sadly this link on the page show as unsafe so won't connect

Try asking at https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5688834/kantar-royal-mail-monitoring-and-posting-panel&page=110

I think the unsafe link is the web address given to prospective joiners on the first page of the above thread, and it has probably expired. I am a member and have been for years, but I can't find a web site for the survey except for the members site which requires a login. I think they advertise for new people periodically, but I don't know where. It has all changed significantly since I joined, including the organisation running it. Asking on the above thread will probably be more help. Or you could message Sarah1972 the Board Guide (who started the thread) and ask if they know. It is on the shopping and freebies> freebies no spend required board.

As DNMS said, it can be a bit of a faff, and isn't everyone's cup of tea. You have to be quite disciplined about posting things on given dates, and logging data on both this and received items. It can seem like a lot of work for what you get back sometimes, but it fits in with other things that I do, so suits me ok. I am not an active member at the moment (they stand you down every few months for a break).
I have had a look on the survey portal and there is no info there on how to join.

Evening everyone
Lots of productive stuff going on! Not so much here - had horrible day at work but had a nice walk by the river and a lazy evening in front of the tv. Have resisted putting on the heating and off to bed with a hot water bottle soon. Finally got paid for some self employment so happy to be back in credit again. Not done any unnecessary spending and most meals are from stores. Enjoy the weekend everyone Dxx

Well yesterdays mood didn't last long - thanks mum!!

You have my sympathy ziggy. I also have a mother...


Not much planned for today. I need to pop in to the property where I volunteer, just to check that everything's ready for tomorrow's first-of-the-season butter-making demo. As volunteers, we're entitled to claim mileage - I only live 4 miles from the property, so I've never bothered in the past, but now, well, every little helps. I worked out how much I would get, and it's totally worth it - for the number of times I'm there, it's about £20 a month! So I need to get the paperwork sorted to get that started.

If the car needs cleaning, I'll do that - weather dependent, it looks OK out there at the moment but the forecast isn't brilliant. No more trips to the car wash at £5 a pop!! And of course, the training of the clematis is a daily task at this time of the year, particularly with all this rain.

But apart from that - nothing that needs doing.

My meal plan tells me I'm having cheese on toast for lunch, and tuna and pasta for tea - I'm looking forward to that. I bought some wonky strawberries yesterday, so that'll be pudding, with a dollop of natural yogurt.

Have a lovely Saturday everyone.

Good morning frugal ones :hello:

Yeah, it's the weekend :j we've got lots going on this weekend but aim for some small things:
Checked utility bill, it's low :T based on actual readings so I know it's correct.
Check banks, move some money from present fund for a couple I bought yesterday
Clean bathroom
Meals from stores,
Pop to butcher for some meat for next week
May go to cinema later, but I have free tickets so no spend, will take snacks
Some form of exercise

Have a good day everyone. Purps.

Afternoon folks!

My sympathies to all those with awkward mums. Mine isn't awkward as such but I don't think we'd be friends if we met IYSWIM. We are very different and I just feel that we kind of antagonise each other :cool:

I am trying to be better at getting on here over the weekend as it's far more interesting than me posting up my work-day lists. I missed yesterday as it all seemed to fly by in a rush. We went to the gym, then straight to MIL's as we were promised a Sit Down and a Cup of Tea. This, of course, turned into A Mission. (deliberate 1930's style caps for emphasis )
Came home, had a snack then decided to pop to fave place for a glass of wine. Very nice too although given my cutting down, it appears i can no longer combine alcohol and any semblance of a decent night's sleep!

I've had a lazy couple of days and kinda ignored things that are on my "should" list. As a result I'm feeling far more chilled out

Today's mission:
:heartpuls B/L from stores - done
:heartpuls Dinner out. All budgeted for and very much looked forward to. Think I'm actually going to have some sides instead of a main which will be cheaper. - done
:heartpuls Wash towels and bathmats on 60 deg but reduce spin from 1200 to 600. - done
:heartpuls Towels etc on line to dry - done
:heartpuls Little bit of a potter in the garden - pot on some bits and refill bird feeders - done
:heartpuls Finish sock. Looks pretty nice too even if I do say so myself. It's my first "non basic" one. - done
:heartpuls Poss do a bit of cooking. Need to blind bake a quiche base. - done

Have a good one all
