Found house contents insurance via Quidco for 56 quid, i pay 160 a year at the moment. Cashback of 50 means its 6 to insure! :j

Have set up a spreadsheet with diff tabs for soa, march 10 a day challenge, student loan payments, credit card payments etc. Really motivating. :T

Got some Ciao surveys to do, free bingo and paperwork filing.

TO - DO LIST

Ciao Surveys - Chucked me out early as usual
Check website for Mystery shops - Done, none
Apply to two more Mystery Shopping co's (member of 3 already) - Done one
Set up bank standing order to new A & L account - Still to do
Apply for new contents insurance - Doesn't run out for another month
New house joint a/c for me and OH - Still to do
Free Bingo - Still to do
Housework :rolleyes:

- Done sort of

Added my total debt to my signature now. Bit scary but hopefully a good motivator! NSD today. Went to gym at lunch which stopped me mooching around the shops. Get it free as part of work which is a bonus.

Missed out on a mystery shop 2 mins from work that would have paid a tenner. :mad:

£16 pay out from Quidco going towards the Make £10 a day challenge. Quite a good start as only the 2nd March. Doing a massive ebay listing today, have loads ready to put on. Have free bingo running in background, not going too well! :rolleyes:

Evening skye_27,
If you haven't done your ebay stuff yet, wait til the weekend its a free listing weekend

Sorry not read all the replies but why are you paying £355 for a car that you only put £35 of petrol in PCM? Really to me that is just not quite right.

Thanks Sparky! I have listed quite a bit but still have piles to put on, will hang on until the weekend.

OH fills tank up whenever he uses it so I never seem to have to put much in. Also I drive about a bit for work and I get 40p a mile. Although when I drive home for visits (Scotland), it would normally be around 100 quid in petrol but if I tie in with a work visit, I actually make around 150 quid! Mad.

regards lovefilm - why not get 3 months for free under your name and cancel just prior to deal expiring.you need tocancel week before expiry date and make sure you have sent all dvds back. the 3 month free trials are often posted on mse.i then wait for next code and get trial on wifes account etc etc up to 3 dvds at a time free

Hi!

In regards to your travel costs - is your season ticket a travelcard as well - (does it allow you tube travel within your zones?) I don't know if many people are aware of this, but if you have a travelcard for ANY zones, then you can use the buses for free throughout all the zones!

I avoid the zone 1 charges, like you, and then jump on a bus if I do need to go into the centre. Saves loads each month and I know my way around London much better now compared to when I always went underground.

Apologies if you already knew this, or if it's not appropriate.

I found a three month free trial for lovefilm so going to cancel mine and take out in boyfriend's name. The do tesco one in both names and then blockbuster........

I think so.......I get the DLR for the second part of my journey and a friend stopped me paying on the bus not long ago and she was like ummm your season ticket which you have had for three years now? It works on the bus. I was like ohhhhhhhhhhh, what a muppet! My only problem is when I get the tube and I come out and there is no barriers, I sometimes forget to swipe out and it charges me a mad fare.

I notice above that you say you are still to do free bingo.... Sorry to have to break it to you but a lot of the sites have withdrawn the free money & to get any kind of bonus you have to now deposit first making it pretty much rubbish!

Skye_27

I've noticed that. I'm rubbish at it anyway. Won 17 on my first go but depositing 20 put me off and I ended up losing the 17 anyway!

Good day today. Went for long walk at lunch to help with my weightloss plan (1 stone to shift). I fell off the Weightwatchers wagon a while ago. :rolleyes:

Posted four ebay parcels for OH so no spend there. My turn to buy Starbucks today at work for me and friend so 6 spent. Ridiculous I know but we only get about once a week.

Went into tesco on way home to buy lentils and came out with tenners worth. Bought a new book which was 4. There was stuff for lunch there too so no spend tomorrow hopefully. My boss and I bring in books we have read and swap, there is a bit of library forming under my desk! Saves me quite a bit as we have same tastes in 'chick lit'. Decided I spend too much on convenience food when I'm tired, get delayed on train, any excuse really so I thought at the weekend I will cook a load of spaghetti bolognaise, casseroles etc and pop in freezer. Easily save me 10 quid a week.
