Brrrr it's a cold one today! Glad to be home and snuggled on the sofa
I have paid over my H'x £5 as an OP
Not much else to report... so rock and roll :rotfl:0 -
Well the end of another working week has arrived. It's been another whirlwind :eek:
I managed to hurt my foot last night...jarred it stepping onto a pavement.... and I wasn't even tipsy
so hobbling a little today. Intend to have a relatively quiet weekend to see if it improves
Money news
£26.03 OP'd - this is a mixture of bagged up coins and survey payments.

Morning all. I slept for 10 and a half hours
guess I needed the rest!
There was a frost overnight and everything looks crisp and fresh this morning... at least it does from in the nice warm house :cool:
Another £3 survey payment has come in and so duly been OP'd0 -
I have written my Xmas cards :T I was intending to do the ones that need to go overseas only as they need to be posted on Monday but once I got going, I was on a roll and so did them all. Feeling quite
I did actually receive my first card on 1st December and already have 3 up on show. Some people are very quick off the mark!0 -
:T for it being the weekend! It's been another busy week. December really does seem to be flying past. That's my reason for slacking on the diary front anyway
To summarise this week:sad news received about the health status of a relative
survey payments of £9 received and OP'd
nothing added to the cc this week
all pressies ordered online have now arrived. Of course this does mean I no longer have an excuse to postpone the wrapping!
There was even one item that has arrived twice - not sure why as I definitely only ordered and paid for one. It's personalized too so not really something that could be returned.
I also had my work Xmas party this week. I wasn't really looking forward to going but actually rather enjoyed myself. Looking forward to a lie in tomorrow though to catch up on some sleep
It's really nippy tonight so I have nudged the heating up (:eek: please don't judge me lol) and am also snuggled up with my blanket on the sofa. Bliss

:j I've done all my present warapping :j
Also managed to OP another £3 survey payment :T0 -
Just had a catch up, sorry to hear about your friend passing and relative being unwell, best wishes to them.
Your keeping on top of things really well! If you have any time off coming up it might be worth doing the Kindle unlimited month trial for free, I did it, read quite a few books in a series then cancelled as I wont read that much every month! So free reading for a bit!
I have mostly wrapped but still got more to do... maybe next weekend!

I am very jealous of anyone who has finished present wrapping - I think I hate that more than the actual stress & expense of buying them!
I have the present wrapping skills of a 5 year old .....0 -
Thanks for stopping by Jodles and Pushkin
Wrapping isn't my favourite part either so pleased it's now done. Not sure they would win awards for prettiness but not sure anyone really minds about the outer layer0 -

I'm not a huge fan of wrapping presents. I used to enjoy it with a glass of wine and Christmas music but nowadays it's a long drawn out process. BW I am impressed you got it done in less than 24 hours!
Pushkin, I can wrap ok but have the attention span of a 2 year old and get distracted so it takes forever!
Well done on all your surveys BW and those OP's!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0
