Monday morning money post:

PAD/Spends - £51
Entertainment - £22.31
Food - £85.32
Savings - £2800
Loan balance - £4030.10
Outstanding balance - £1230.10

There's a small balance outstanding on my credit card, but it's less than £15 so my PADs will cover that by the end of the week.

I sold some crafty things last night on a FB group, and hopefully more will get sold this week. I have around £24 sitting in my Paypal and am going to withdraw the costs of posting the items, but probably keep the rest there. It's handy for when an "essential" bargain raises it's head

I now have £40 in my Paypal account thanks to some more sales last night, and have found an essential craft purchase which I'm going to make shortly :rotfl:

I've also been after a posh paper punch for ages but couldn't justify spending £20 (!!) on it. Then I found it in stock on Amazon this morning and was able to buy it with gift vouchers, so it cost me nothing I'm going to have to restart my surveys so that I can buy birthday presents/treats for myself when I feel the urge to shop, but it was beginning to get very dull so I stopped not long before Christmas. Still, if I can buy presents from Amazon for people I can use the money in my Christmas account for other things, so it will be worth it in the end.

No surveys tonight though as I'm going to the movies with my friend. I decided just to buy the pass outright and pay for it with my savings. Once I have paid the credit card bill I will withdraw the funds from my ISA and then PAD to raise the balance again. If I get a bonus in March that will pay it straight off anyway, so I'll only have "borrowed" the money for a couple of weeks!

I'm like you with the surveys, they had got really boring, but I've gone through the emails and I could have potentially earned a good amount over the last 2 months that i didn't, so it back on the survey bandwagon zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
