    I think TOMM will definitely help me. I need to have routine and structure and being in a messy environment really messes with my head. I’ll check out the FB as well, so thanks. 

    I’m going to start saving for my MOT & service next month and car maintenance. So it’ll take the sting out of the cost in April 2023. I won’t have saved enough by then, but it’s a start and I’ll save more for 2024.

  • Morning everyone! Hope the sun is shining wherever you are :)

    Up late this morning, but had a late night from being out with my sister.  Not much won but we had a good night regardless!  *note to self: don't drink 2 pints of diet coke on an evening and expect to be able to sleep! I don't usually drink diet coke at home, I tend to have coffee in the mornings and then cordial in the afternoon/evening. 

    PAD's counted (a whopper today, thanks to @shell16 and @Keedie) and I've sent £1 to CC7.  Hopefully when it gets to the weekend I can increase the PADs as it gets to pay day. 

    Today is a NSD and I have already done an early declaration on the the thread, I have to stay in as we are expecting deliveries today and tomorrow. 

    I cashed out £5 of my Pinecone rewards into an amazon voucher so that has been applied to my balance this morning. I've not had any qualified surveys since April so it's very slow there, but sometimes if I redeem some points it reminds them that I'm human and kickstarts a flurry of surveys - we will see. 

    That's all from me so far, I have some change in my purse to add to the sealed pot later but for now I need to log into work and get cracking!

    Thought I would pop on with an update, as I was checking my mobile bill at lunch and EE have teamed up with weare8.com so that you can watch brand videos to earn money off your mobile bill.  Having downloaded the app and watched a few videos you can also be paid directly or donate to charity. 

    I'll admit that it's not gonna make me a millionaire, but watching a short ad is part and parcel of using social media these days so I figure why not? It's pence, but we all know how the pennies can turn into pounds!

    I have a referral code if anyone wants me to PM it to them :)

    Ohhhh  that sounds interesting.  I might give that a go myself if you mind sharing :)

    My EE bill is only £20 a month but if there's a chance to lower it, why not?!!

    Glad you had a good night at Bingo!
  • I’ll PM you the link :)

    Glad you had a good night out. I'm hoping to catch up with my sister on Friday, the one that lives in East London as I don't get to see her as often. I love bingo, but I'm not exactly good at it  :D.

    Sounds like a good reward benefit with EE, I'm with Sky Mobile so can't benefit, but I'll tell my sister to look out for that as she's on EE I think. 

    Have a good evening.x

    You don’t have to be with EE, you can take it as cash 💵

    Could I have a link as I'm not with EE but if there's a cash alternative, bring it on x

    Ooooh! I love that. Can you PM me the link too or is the link an EE thing?
