Improving


Diary


I have definitely made more of an effort this week with the matched betting, lots of existing offers and a few new accounts opened. It has been quite fun getting back into it so I will try to keep up with all offers if they keep coming.

The holiday savings yesterday have hit a low, As you may have heard Tomas Cook have gone into liquidation, even though our holiday was covered by ATOL and I will get my money back eventually, the credit card that we booked with has been closed so that we cannot spend on it as we had maxed the card out, we can only pay the balance. The amount of money that we have tied up in the holiday will just get taken off the balance on the card and we wont be able to reuse the money to put towards re booking (if that makes sense) we are now about £1300 short of the value of the holiday in which we need to re-book.

It is also scandalous that companies have put prices up for holidays knowing full well that thousands of people will be wanting to re-book holidays.

Again since the last post I am still maintaining the cashback from Quidco each month and all the work trips have started to begin to pay.

I have now manages to set up internet banking only for my Mortgage, so the money made at the end of todays diary will be paid off the mortgage. I will add a new total to the bottom of the diary to keep track of the balance.

I am also continually using shoppix, my camera on my phone is still broken which is making things difficult. 

I would still love to hear from people reading this for more ideas on how to earn extra money as every penny counts.


Matched betting

New account opened with Go Wager which returned £2.16
The Netbet free bet returned £6.28
Netbet also offered free spins in the casino and on games which I won £96.34 after rolling through the wagering requirements, plus a mug bet on the virtual sports which they offered a free bet.
The Betfair bet from last week won me £6.28
Some existing Betfred offers won me £30.15
A Betstar free bet won me £3.06
I also did the stake £10 get a £30 casino bonus at Betdaq which didn't go well as the wagering requirements was far too high. lost -£1.85

Tuck shop
The tuck shop is still pretty full, I will review the amount at the weekend as I imagine I will need to buy more stock. This will give me an opportunity to get rid of all the change as there is loads of it.

Money Saved
There has been no money saved as all money that is saved will be going towards the holiday.

Savings Account
Its not a new month yet, so no savings account or interest has been made during this post.

Cashback
Quido paid £21.13 from various work trips, with still £203.42 showing as tracked. I honestly wish I made sure I booked everything through quidco years ago. It soon adds up.

Shoppix App
Tokens 7205 , I am heading towards the £20 voucher which is still 4295 tokens away.

I am really bad at doing this!!


Diary


I am getting really bad at this, having a family and job gives me little time for me.

The holiday savings are coming along nicely but its reducing the amount I can save and put towards overpaying this mortgage.

Again since the last post I am still maintaining the cashback from Quidco each month and all the work trips have started to begin to pay.

Still not made an over payment yet but this month will certainly be the first as there is a steady stream of money coming into the bank now. I need to set up an online account so that I can check I am overpaying correctly. the bank I have my mortgage account with have to set up the online account over the phone if you just have a mortgage with them. This just takes up more of my time.

I am also continually using shoppix but having dropped my phone and smashed the camera lens, taking pictures of the receipts is proving difficult as i now have to take them using my tablet.

i would still love to hear from people reading this for more ideas on how to earn extra money as every penny counts.

I have also put time aside every friday to make sure do the reload offers for match betting and do at least one new account offer. This should also get a steady stream of money coming back in.

Matched betting

New account with NetBet opened bet £30 get £15 free bet and £15 free spins in the casino and I have done the £10 refund offer on Betfair exchange hoping that my matched bet looses.

Tuck shop
The tuck shop is now looking after itself having paid back all of the money I borrowed it to get it up and running. I will wait until there is a large amount of money to change and cash in as all the money I receive is in change and means I have to find time to go to the bank.

Money Saved
I have not saved any money this month due to the kids needing new uniforms etc for school which has basically taken all of my spare cash.

Savings Account
This month was £8.07 from the cashback and interest. 

Cashback
Quido paid £182.99 from various work trips and buildings and contents insurance.

Shoppix App

Tokens 6700 which is now available for £10, however i will let it ride until 11500 tokens for £20
