    Good Morning :) I'm feeling much refreshed today after a chilled evening and lovely lie in today

    I'm off to see an open air play tonight. Just hoping the weather plays nicely and stays dry. Not looking too promising at the moment but keeping my fingers crossed!

    OP made today of £50.94 - combination of a survey payment and some bank interest received
  • Hope the weather is being kind to you BW. It sounds like you're enjoying your tablet, I love mine (even though when they first came out I couldn't help but think how pointless they were :o). Well done on the op's too, you're doing brilliantly.

    Thanks MG :)

    Just arrived home from the play...and I'm pleased to report the weather was well behaved. It held off until half way home which was very lucky. It was a really lovely evening.

    Morning

    It's a soggy start to the day in my corner of the world. I'm so lucky that it held off for yesterday's outing.

    Nothing really on the agenda today other than some house jobs and a bit of admin. I've also got a reference to write for a friend. It's been a long while since I had to do one of those, so a little rusty.

    Managed to make myself a :coffee:this morning and then got so engrossed in my book that I forgot to drink it :doh::o

    Glad it's not just me then. ;)

    Evening

    More spending has occurred today :o My headphones have given up the ghost so needed to replace them (as can't do without). I have resisted the super expensive ones and have simply ordered the newer version of my current ones. I've also paid for them in vouchers - so at least not 'cash'

    Survey news - £2 e voucher received today (and went towards the above :p)

    OP news - little to report on the OP front I'm afraid (that between pay day lull again)

    I feel very weary at the moment and it feels like no matter how much I sleep, I can't shake it off. I do at least have a long weekend to look foward to (as off Friday) so hoping that will help.

    Lunch out with work today and I'm still pretty full so light easy tea on the cards

    Hello MG - thanks for stopping by :)

    Things are not too bad in my world... thank you. Just seems to not be enough hours in the day right now. Work is still very busy. I did get my day off last week and I decided to use it to spend a long weekend with my family. I feel like I needed the seperation that being away from home brings - and so truly relaxed. It will keep me going until my time off...which is now only 11 working days to go ;)

    Nothing to report on the OP front. I've been trying to get to payday...and thankfully that's tomorrow...without dipping into savings - have just about managed it. There may even be a little OP tomorrow to celebrate :p

    No more big purchases...but I have treated myself to a new purse.... (to keep all that money I'm not spending :rotfl:)

    In survey news, I've reached payout on YG - so looking foward to the £50 reaching me.

    Very muggy here...not sure if that means more rain is due....

    Well payday has been and gone. Did manage an OP of £45 which was all that was left from last month's wages. Nothing new added to the CC this month, which is a result and hopefully means I am starting to get back on track

    I have requested £2.95 from TCB
    No survey news really - all just ticking along

    I really need to get my lawn cut this weekend but at the moment the weather isn't looking promising. I say lawn...but really it's more weeds than grass :p

    Hoping for a low key relaxed weekend

    BW :)

    A window of sun appeared and so I dashed out to get the lawn cut :j

    I've also claimed a £10.40 payout from PB :T
