    Morning all...just up.Not a lot planned for today.The Octavia should be here not long after 9am and then I can put all the stuff in it ready to go.Will fuel it up and get a couple of bits of shopping and make a couple of phonecalls etc...and that's about it for today.
    I was looking at my free money so to speak at the moment I have:
    £200 one 4all vouchers
    £30 Boots vouchers
    £12 Asda card
    £15 Morrissons vouchers
    £46 Boots points
    and various amounts of cashback from CCs
    £5 paypal from survey
    £13.75 you gov
    £10 sainsbury voucher on it's way from survey sites
    95p in pigsback

    It really mounts up doesn't it?
    Have a good day everyone xx

    it does, i like it as it feels like money for nothing to me(surveys anyway)!
    ive had £30 argos vouchers recently which will come in very handy soon as we need a new wardrobe!

    Freemoney is good..lol
    OMG had a real panic this morning as I got a letter from Halifax saying they were reducing my O/D to £300 from 23rd July.As you can imagine that didn't go down too well with me as I have a £5k O/D with them!!!!!!!
    So I rang them up and have been given it for £3k!!!!!!!.....The reason they are cutting everybodies O/Ds are because they have to count the whole of everybodys available O/D (even if they are not using it) as debt when they report their figures.So they have to reduce peoples overdrafts...at least he was honest.They had done it as I am rarely into it and if I am usually only about £500 ish.However at the moment I am in and out of it due to the car being written off and loss of earnings etc etc....
    Have got the new Octavia now so hopefully now we can work hard and try and catch up.DH is off to work in a minute so I hope it's busy....
    Got some paper work to do over the weekend re the losses and will send it back recorded delivery monday...don't want to rush it and make a mistake.
    Hope you've all had a good day xx
  • Sounds like things are slowly coming together again. The free money is great what are your plans for it all? If its food and toiletries you grocery budget could be saved for a while with that lot?

  • Halifax are gits aren't they? I hope everyone votes with their feet when this recession is over with.
    On the positive side it is good finding free money, i love free money !
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    To be honest I don't have any plans for it at the moment as I'm frightened if I spend it that something else will go wrong..lol...
