    I've just used EagerLearner's £2 a day guide and signed up to all the sites. I'm going to try to do them all daily from tomorrow. If I can be disciplined enough, that's a minimum (because of all the other 'freebies' available through them) of £700 for next Christmas, which might sound mad to be thinking of but I want to start now on the tax bill I'll be paying this time next year.

    I reckon I'm going to need about £1800. I already pay £8.80 a month in NI because I'm self employed but I don't know if I'll have extra NI added in to my tax bill so I'm going to aim for £2000 and I'm going to use all the cashback sites to get as much of it as I can.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Picked up the keys to the new house. After the bond, first month's rent, this fee, that fee, and the scratch-my-bum-it's-itchy fee it came to just less than £1,400. Then the mail redirect on top of that.

    Removal guy will be more on top.

    May buy some complete rubbish just to take my mind off it. Like Girls Aloud's greatest hits... :rotfl:
