We've had a couple more sales, so I've sent that to the mortgage along with some cashback I redeemed as well.

Does anyone do I-say surveys?  They've been terrible for me since the website changed, I just get screened out all the time.  I'm tempted to ditch them once I get to redemption, but I used to get 1-2 amazon vouchers a month from them, so it's such a shame.

Have a good day everyone

I used to love this site Jwil and like you could easily get a couple of vouchers a month, since they changed it i have found i am constantly screened out, i have also noticed that you don't get as many points when you are screened out (think its 3) used to be between 10 and 25 depending on how far into the survey you got, they have also stopped the bonus you used to get a couple of times of year.

I'm glad it's not just me, but it's such a shame.  It was great before, it really kept me in 'spending money'.  I miss the amazon vouchers

Hope everyone is well

We've just come back from a lovely weekend in Cornwall!  It was a beautiful day yesterday which was lovely.  Colder today and grey but it stayed dry.  It's nice to be away from everything and just chill.  I did have to go and buy some pillows though - our caravan only had one (flat) pillow per bed and no spares!  I didn't bother asking for some more as we need some at home anyway.  What nonsense is that though!  I felt like my head was lower than my body!  I like thick pillows and the kids do too.  DH is the only strange one that likes a flat pillow and even he said it was lower than he liked  

Other than that, a frugal weekend largely.  Visiting beaches and nice little fishing villages and caves.  Little miss has developed a love for hunting for sea glass and has brought a little pile home that she wants to make artwork from.

DH's car played up coming home, but he switched it off and switched it on again and it was fine    It was a bit nerve wracking though as it went into limp mode on the dual carriageway.  He thinks it's a fuel injector issue, but equally it might be all the crud from the bottom of the tank as we had to drive home nearly empty as we couldn't get diesel in a couple of places we'd tried.

Another couple of items sold recently as well, so stuff is still trickling out.  I've been sending the money to the mortgage.

This week is going to be a bit of a nightmare, I have an initial call and then my first workshop for the pre-diabetes stuff,  I have a special parents evening for little miss, and an evening meeting.  Plus I have a week with loads of meetings booked as well which is always annoying as it's so hard to achieve anything.  However, DH is back to work, and the kids will be at school so at least I won't have all the background noise at home.

Glad you had a nice time in Cornwall ..

Sometimes I give up with pillows . I have to keep remembering to shake them around as it can be annoying when the pillows are like pancakes. 🥞
Hope the week goes well ...

I have a memory foam pillow that someone gave me years ago and although it is getting a bit flat now I love it. I put another ordinary but thin pillow under it and it is great.
