    £5 from my tsb account today, added to the pot ;)

    Tonight I need to do my tesco order as the cupboards are bare :o

    And another weekend rolls around ... today is our one year anniversary of living in the house:D Funnily I don't miss the flat at all, despite it being a huge part of who I am. It's not been a bad year, let's see what the next 12 months bring :)

    Today will be a quite chilled day, with the usual load of housework. We break up for Easter on thursday lunchtime, so only 3.5 days to get through at work this week ;)

    There's no premier league football today so I am a bit lost but am sure I'll find something else to fill my time with :)

    So,the housework is pretty much done, there's not footie again today so I have managed a bit of a lie-in and after some mooching on here have decided that today I need to check the finances, clear all the surveys from my inbox and revisit the moneymaking plans for the year. I need to see if I'm still on track and look for ways of increasing it as I feel at the moment I'm plodding a bit with it.

    I think I am going to concentrate on referrals for some of the sites I use - I know I make regular money from them and if I can find others who want to do the same then we both benefit. So I will be listing all my referrals here (again!) for anyone interested in any of them, and will be looking for other areas to find people too :)

    I've only got 3.5 days left at work then we get a couple of weeks off so this will be a focus for the next few weeks.

    The final £77 has been paid in for the stickers on my car, so altogether that has earned me £150 for driving around for 2 months with some advertising on my car :money:

    I've also cashed out £5 amazon voucher from i-say (ipsos) :beer:

    And so it's finally the end of term and a 2 week break from school :D This final week has been pretty rocky, ds has had his usual end of term meltdown and we've had a few sticky moments.

    So today (we finished at lunchtime) we've been to Sainsburys and got a few bits, made spaghetti bolognese and been to the train station for a bit. Tonight will be spent just chilling out :)

    Ds just wanted something ordered from Amazon for £30, so I used some of my vouchers and he's given me the cash, so that's £30 I can now transfer into my savings :T
