Lamps sound gorgeous.
You sound really motivated and the spare room is shaping up nicely
I'll let you into a little secret about that new cat collar DIA. It's for my new kitten arriving in a few weeks :T:p I am ridiculously excited (for myself) and a tad nervous about my cat accepting a new ball of fluff into the household. My cat is a house cat so he's never interacted with other cats and he's quite nervy at times but I'm hopeful that if I don't rush it, they'll learn to love each other.
I know I probably shouldn't be taking on a new pet when I'm trying to save money but my cat has honestly changed my life in the 2 years I've had him. I was unhappy, neglecting myself, living in a tip and having something to care for who depended on me really helped me. So I know it's a bit selfish to get another cat for me but the time feels right to expand my furry little family and offer love and a home to a kitten who needs it.
The lamps are gorgeous. Have a look at them on the N3xt site, they're called Glam0urDebt Apr 15 - £6895.44Apr 17 - £2500

Evening. I've had a lovely day off today, just general tidying and moving stuff out of my bedroom into the spare room ready for when the skirting board man comes. Been too warm to do much else. I didn't even get dressed :rotfl: But I did have a shower and put on fresh pj's this morning
:D
Tuesday
* £3 for cat litter
* Pinec0ne survey
* VO survey
* 200SB earned
* 86p sweep into my overpayments account
* £1 sweep into my FD savings account
Today
* £183 spent on my JDWilli@ms account, however the majority will be sent back. I've just bought multiple sizes of a shirt and bras to get the best fit and it's easier to get it all, rather than reordering and sending stuff back and forth. I went through TCB and it's tracked for £20.13 but I don't think I'll get it as stuff will go back. Maybe if i'm lucky hehe :rotfl::p
* P0pulusLive survey
* Youg0v survey
* i-S@y survey
* VO survey
* 2 PA surveys
* 317SB earned. Swaggy is going really well lately :T Probably just jinxed meself now :eek:
Back to work tomorrow unfortunately and I have to face the new computer system. Kind of hoping I'll fall out of bed overnight and break my arm :rotfl:Debt Apr 15 - £6895.44Apr 17 - £2500

Hoping the new computer system wasn't as bad as you anticipated? If it was, no worries you are taking positive exit strategy stepsIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Hi Ena, I've just dropped in to say that your endless commitment to surveys inspired me so much that I signed myself up to YouG0v earlier this week. So far I'm up to 500 points. So thank youIf you can dream it, you can do it - Walt Disney0

Haha things are never as bad as you thinkI just about know what I'm doing now thanks to 5 minutes with a colleague who gave me a run down of the main things and I learnt more in that 5 minutes than the previous day and a half of official training :rotfl:

:T Yay that's brilliant Betty, you'll be at 5000 points in no time. Although saying that I'm still 300 points from £50 cash out and I started last August!A slow burner but lovely when it pays out I'm sure
Thanks for letting me know

Aww thank you ccl, I can't wait now. I went to a cat rescue at the weekend and I saw the nursery where all the adorable kittens were and just melted. I only went for some advice and to drop some food off but I could have adopted all of them. They are so tiny and my cat is a lion in comparison so it's going to be so oddGot a little way to go before I get to your cat count :rotfl:
