Hi Nats

I'm the same with having my hair cut, these days there are only two people I will let cut my hair, my regular hairdresser and my aunt, she owns a salon in Kent so it's a bit far to have it done with her too often!

Things have definitely been difficult with my son and grandson, things seem to be calm at the moment!

Well done to you on clearing your student loan by the way

Catch you again soon

Well, hair is cut... it's not bad - but she seemed to have an adversion to cutting the back (at the top of my neck) really short. 3 time she asked and I said "no, shorter please!" I would have thought after a chat about how quickly my hair grows she would have got the gist! I hope she doesn't think I am going back sooner! lol. But it's a lot better than a) it was; and b) what it could have been. She will get another go when it next needs doing!


Pro.Ac is up to £21.69 in total and still not at £20.00 approved for withdrawal. Grrr - I am soooo impatient. I have to keep updating my spreadsheet though which is a bit of a bonus!


Got my dates wrong and I am house-sitting this weekend instead of next! Not a problem and will be a few pounds in the pot. Will probably get paid after I do a bigger stint for the same person in a fortnight. I reckon around £120 in total! I do it as a favour really, but the money is always nice (of course it is!) I was talking to my friend in America who does some house-sitting out there and she can get paid $30+ per night depending on the number of pets / children / both there are!! I was like WOW!


I haven't been great at tracking where my actual cash goes - but I know enough to realise I am not as strict with myself as I once was - although, I can now afford not to be. So I am not going to beat myself up about it. It all goes in my wonderful spreadsheet so I can see what is happening! Will keep an eye on those little bits n pieces becoming bigger and more frequent though!

Morning All!




Pro.Ac up to £22.69 and still not cleared £20.00 to cash out! Booo!
This weekend is looking like being a scorcher - always good to hear when you are house-sitting by the beach!! ;O)


Circuit training last night was brutal - it was sooo hot, it was like being in a sauna!
That's me up to date now! xxx

Pro.Ac up to £23.69 and still not cleared £20.00! Oh well, I suppose the good news is the more I build up the more will pay out... eventually! lol


A fleabay item sold last night - so that is all packaged up ready to go today. Sold for £15.99 inc postage. So not too bad. I have withdrawn £20.00 from Ppal as I always leave some from each sale in there to cover fees etc and there was a bit too much spare for my liking. Postage will come out of the £20 and then the rest split half to house account, half to my SLF, so I reckon about £8.50 each! YAY!
One other item went unsold. I have listed it 3 times now - so may just leave it a bit and try once more. If it still doesn't sell it can go in the bootfair box.
There's is just one item active at the moment and that ends tonight. We shall see!
House-sitting from this evening until Mon evening. Right by the beach so I intend to make the most of this supposed heatwave at the weekend!


Off out for breakfast on Sunday for Fathers Day. Nice to get everyone together in the morning, but leave the rest of the day free to enjoy the sunshine!


Ok, so I think that is me up to date. Have a great weekend everyone, love to all Dads xxx

Just thinking ahead .... would paying my car loan off with a credit card count as a purchase?

natsplatnat

Ok, so..... Pro.Ac now has £20.49 cleared, so I could withdraw FOC. But - whilst I have been waiting for the balance to clear I have racked up another £6.95... my dilemma is therefore do I withdraw the £20.49 and build the £6.95 up to another £20.00, or do I wait for more of the £6.95 to clear - what to do, what to do? lol


It is mucho scorchio today - keep cool everyone! x

natsplatnat

Ok, so I have withdrawn the £20.49 from Pro.Ac.


Thy have changed their ruling on free payments over £20.00 by P.Pal - there is now a fee for all P.Pal withdrawals...but they have this system with 'Circle' now. Not too chuffed about signing up to a money moving app but to be fair the money has already appeared in Circle and I have withdrawn to my account (1-4 days from now).


So, that leaves me £8.95 toward my next checkout so nearly halfway there already!

natsplatnat

Oooh, £1.10 withdrawn from Q.co! WHOOP WHOOP!

natsplatnat

Afternoon All!


Well it's the day before payday - and it's going to be the longest day ever! Keep staring longingly at my spreadsheet. Not that there is much to do tomorrow as it is all filled in with figures - just like to actually have the money in my account!!
Don't need to spend any money... which is good as I have 20p in my purse!! Weekly budget well and truly spent by 6pm Sunday!! Oops - but the sun was shining and the rhubarb cider by the sea was too good!
£1.10 received from Q.co and moved around.
Not even had time in the last week to check Pro.Ac for any more surveys, so balance there not increased!
House sitting starts this Friday! YAY!
Tonight I need to....
dye my hair
Move the money I withdrew from P.Pal (fleabay)
Add up CC statement to see what OH and I each owe


So, that's me up to date!


Laters all! xxx

Happy Wednesday!
Also known as "happy payday!"
Money in + money moved.
I have now finished re-paying myself for clearing my Student Loan! Whoop Whoop!
£1.05 withdrawn from Q.co!
In other good news, yesterday I was told I will be getting a payrise!! DOUBLE WHOOP WHOOP! No idea when or how much - but anything is better than nothing!
Right, I am going to have a play around with my spreadsheet - see if there's anything I can tweak!
Have a great Wednesday everyone! xxx
