I think there's a lot going round, that time of year I guess! I've taken today off, I just couldn't go in today and I'm off tomorrow anyway so I've got another day to recover! I'll reassess Thursday morning but I think I'll be ok. Thanks GonnaDebt Apr 15 - £6895.44Apr 17 - £2500

Well, I didn't go to work, still felt quite dreadful this morning but I think I'm improving a little now :T I'm not working tomorrow as I'm on leave which is lucky so another chilled day planned
Today
* NSD
* PA survey
* 2 VO surveys and a £15 Am@zon voucher redeemed!
* I-S@y survey and a £10 Am@zon voucher redeemed. I've got £81.34 in my Am@zon account now which I'm chuffed with as when I placed my last big Am@zon order on the 5th Feb I had £1.34 left so I've made £80 in vouchers in 2 months :j I'm saving them for housey things, maybe a little frippery :rotfl:
* 234SB earned
I started afresh with YNAB today cause I had somehow got a £100 ish discrepancy. I've also taken my emergency fund off budget so I don't think I've actually got that money to budget withI only put £25 per month in at the moment but once I've got my debt down a bit more, I'll be getting that up to £1000 and then stashing it, possibly in a T$B account which I've read pays 5%. I need to look into it as I think there's a minimum amount to pay in which will require some jiggery pokery amongst my accounts.
I paid off my Barcl@ycard today (again) after I used it to pay for my radiator. I'll try and close it again next week but I'm open to being bribed again to keep it open :rotfl:
I was just dozing off last night when my cat started going batsh*t crazy, jumping all over me. Proper freaked me out until I realised that the curtain was open slightly and the light from cars / the moon / werewolves eyes was bouncing off the small mirror disco ball that's hanging off the curtain pole creating lots of sparkles that my cat was trying to catch :rotfl::D Hoping for a better nights sleep tonightDebt Apr 15 - £6895.44Apr 17 - £2500
