    Well, Quidco money and eBay sales in the bank now, and had a very low spend couple of days. Got a letter saying I've got an interview for a new job, with the potential for a higher salary which would be nice (not loads more though so I'll still be keeping this up even if I get it). Been a bit preoccupied with that and some other 'real life' stuff so not done much money making this weekend, just the usual clicks and a few surveys.

    Right, I need to go and find some motivation somewhere... er... hmmm... down the back of the sofa? :confused:

    I think I tried for one, failed credit check so must have been HSBC :rolleyes: Will have a look at the other one. Tried having a look at various Contents Insurances through there earlier but brain was in Sunday morning mode!! Currently struggling through another job app, seem to have written even more this time :eek:

    Make it 2p an item and you're on...

    you have a deal....

    I'm going to check out the cancellation requirements for L+G life insurance tomorrow.. I know with L+G you can cancell any time just not sure if there is a clawback of the cashback. but still even if it has to be left running 2 months thats still a profit £68. will let you know.

    Are you having a good day though and did you go out in the end last night?

    I only want to iron (want to iron, that's not a phrase I thought I'd ever type!) as it's a distraction from what I should be doing! Still, one application form down, one to go. L&G thing sounds interesting, let me know!!

    Yep did go out, was a great night and I only spent about a fiver. Think I have Sunday-itis today, bit of the old confusion over OH again (promises me the world when drunk then reality kicks in next day).. and not looking forward to work tomorrow! Ho hum! :rolleyes:

  • Aaaand tonight, £6 in High Street vouchers for an extra Royal Mail survey I'd forgotten I'd signed up for! I'm starting to actually quite like opening the post, rather than dreading it!!

    9 days... £15 to go....
