BookWorm's MFW Chapter

BookWorm

Well another week has passed in a blur :eek: Today is the first day I've actually been able to stop and catch my breath. I'm doing minimal chores today and will definitely be chilling this afternoon

Not really had time for many surveys this week but the 2 PC payments arrived and I've requested a voucher cash out of a £15 voucher from another site.

The above mentioned PC payments have been OP'd but sadly no other OP's made...feels a long way until payday too

A few more c-pressies have arrived this week and quite a few more ordered. I've also done a list of what I need to buy from the shops and will try and do this across several lunch hours at work. At the moment it's become a bit of a habit to not have a proper lunch break as it's so busy...so this will have the bonus of getting me away from my desk

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend

How is it not the weekend yet? I feel like I've done enough work in the last 2 days... it's been nuts!:eek: On the plus side though, the days are going super quick!

No money news other than I am very poor and there is still another 8 days til payday

It's blowing a gale here - stay safe everyone who is having storm weather at the moment

Good evening

Well the rest of the week passed in just as much of a blur as the start of it... :rotfl:

I had a lovely lie in this morning and then have been busy doing house jobs and whatnot in between a bit of online chrimbo shopping

This month has been officially spendy ...to the point that I've had to take some money from savings in order to get through to payday It's been a long time since I've done that and I am determined to get back on track next month.

In survey news....I've claimed another £10 from VO and I'm waiting on £9 of payments from PC. That will be OP'd when received. I've also got £5 coming from TCB :T... it was a freebie for shopping through the site a couple of weeks ago.. which I would do anyway...

I'm settled on the sofa for this evening and catching up on some fave programs and maybe a film later on .... oh how rock and roll

Sounding very rock n' roll there BW. ...and I'm doing exactly the same thing. I'll be dipping into savings this month too, it's an xmas thing. Try not to beat yourself up about it too much, we do a good job most of the time.

Hope you're enjoying some chill time.

Thanks MG - you are right that I'm probably being toughest on myself :think:...

I've definitely been enjoying some chill time... looking forward to some more today after the last of the chores are done

I've got some veg to use up so pondering making a soup...seems like the perfect weather for it!

Good idea. I made broccoli soup for lunch - just garlic, broccoli and stock. Simple!

Enjoy the rest of the day,

*blows the dust off looking sheepish*

It's been another busy week (though a good one!) and some days I have no idea where the time goes...:eek: I think the busy-ness of the last few weeks has caught up with me as I've come down with a cold It's been threatening for a while now and finally got me...so I've been having a very low key weekend. Lots of rest and liquids. On the plus side I've got lots of reading in...;)

Mid week I caught up with a friend that moved away a few years ago and it was the first time I'd seen them in person since then. We had a fab night with drinks and lots of laughs and it was lovely to reconnect :T I really hope that it's not so long til the next time I see them!

The c-shopping is coming on. There are just a few things I need to get now.. there is still the wrapping to do though :cool:

My cashback payments arrived. I've also had another £21 of vouchers/cash this week from surveys. Plus I won a £10 Am@zon giftcard in a sweepstake and £10 on the lottery :j

I have to confess that I've been watching the jungle tv prog this week. :oIt's not my usual viewing but I've become strangely drawn into it... anyone else watching it?

Hope you are over your cold quickly, it's so important we listen to our bodies. At least you have got the bugs out of the way for the festive period. We have dipped in and out of the jingle, it's the only celebrity thing we watch and it's usually entertaining!

Great week for surveys and wins, hope it continues.

BookWorm

Thanks Cath Feeling brighter and improving each day

Phew I'm tired this evening. I was in the office by 7.30am today :eek: and that was after not sleeping brilliantly last night. I suspect I will do better on that front tonight..;)

I've updated my figures since it's the 1st of the month. Pleased to report that another month has gone :j It's ticking along nicely now... but I'm impatient for my remortgage in March. Just hoping the interest rates stay at similar level for a while longer
