I think it’s been pretty good going, 2 years not working, and have managed to keep myself out of the red, but yesterday that all changed. I knew it would, which is why I took out the credit card that I keep hidden away.
My car was due for both a service and MOT. There were a few things wrong and the bill ended up being nearly £450. AND… The exhaust has a slight leak and the cost of that will be over a £1000 when it needs doing.
My friend has said I’ll be able to pick up a 2nd hand one somewhere, however I’m still waiting for a parcel shelf he said would be easy to pick up too. I’m slightly pissed off, but I knew it was coming. I just didn’t expect it to be that much.
What makes me smile is how much I’ve changed over the years, because the old me would have said ‘let me just go and stay in an hotel to get away, have a massage and get a pedi, or buy new shoes (especially now its the last week of the Harrod’s sale), as I’m in debt already’.
No, the current me will go on being frugal, and as money saving as possible. I refuse to use my swimming lesson money on this. I know how odd that sounds, but I need those, and it was a present. All the money I get from surveys, anything left from my weekly budget and anything I sell on ebay will go towards the paying off that card.

I’ve been lax with these. I have had a lot of Global test market surveys through, but never complete them to the end.You get points even if you answer one question though, but I cannot record it as I don’t know how much 1 question is worth.

I had a surprise this week. A company I had been doing surveys for, GlobalTestMarket, sent me an email. I had comepletely forgotten about this one. I check my account and have $50 there waiting for me. I’ve never tried to redeem from them before, so am going to try and see if it really turns up. If it does, then I shall look into being affiliated with it and refer people to the program.
