    Sometimes you have to be a little spendy, you'd go mad otherwise. Just remember that your 'spendy' is probably quite restrained compared to some people. I work with a lad (my grade, but several steps down) and he's planning on spending more on a secondhand sports car than we spent on a 10% deposit on a house in the suburbs :rotfl:

    :o More spending has occurred....I went to purchase a recliner chair for the garden... although I did use some loyalty points and vouchers received from surveys...so not sure if it still counts? Either way I'm really chuffed with it :T Have already put it to some good use whilst starting the book I need to review.

    Much cooler here today. Sky is overcast and there has even been a few drops of rain.

    I've been pottering around house and online. £20 voucher claimed from surveys. I'm also very close to payout on OP - hopefully this week I can get it to tick over

    Just popped in for a quick mid week update (can't believe how fast time is going at the moment!)

    Lovely lunch out with a chum that I used to work with. Was good to get away from my desk as this week is :eek: We are about to go from very short staffed to very very short staffed as another person has handed their notice in. Manager seems to have their head in the sand somewhat about it all :(

    Getting back to finacnial news.....regular monthly OP has gone out and it took me to £77,004.88. I therefore had to make another OP of £4.88 in order make it a nice round figure of £77,000 :T

    In survey news OneP is still being tiresome...I'm now hanging at £39.95 and no surveys this week...sooooo close!

    I'm working my way through the freebie book (free in exchange for review purposes). It's not the best I've read but I'm quite happy to finish it so is clearly far from the worst!

    Closer to that lovely weekend ;)

    Managed to get to payout on OneP :T now just have to wait for the moola to arrive :p

    Been thrifty today and used my JL free cake & coffee voucher. Took myself off there after work and actually was really nice way to 'mentally de-work'. I was happily sat there reading my book for an hour or so.

    There have been a few for me...but it seems to have slowed down in general for me last few months. This is the longest I've had between cashouts ever before and I haven't changed the way I do them
