    Morning!

    Got £26.65 from PA to Circle (from being off!) thats for house deposit!
    Shuffled more money to my boys birthday party so thats now at £110, hope to have that amount by end this month and thats it sorted!
    PA has been slow but think that is because its summer holidays for Unis right now... then again who knows lol. *update* just got a £5 one so maybe I should eat my own words

    Going to try do some Opinion world - saving my Amazon vouchers for my boys birthday for lego dimensions starter pack for ps4, a controller and some characters.

    Will do VO for vouchers for my mum xmas for boots vouchers. Hoping to get £50 by Christmas for her.

    My sisters 18 is next month, she is a young 18 and doesnt drink (my mum puts fear into her) and no idea what to get her. Will just get her little things so it adds up I think.

    Will try pictures again hope it will work -

  • I've defo found PA to be quite slow the last couple of weeks.

    I have £10ish to cash out & another £8ish to clear.

    Hoping to get another good run at it.

    Still can't see them, will try later on when I am home.

    Dxxx
  • Lovely photo's hun, DS looks sooo happy :D That is a cute penguin too.

    Well done on the PA, I'm still loitering on £16 so far but it could be because they're on holiday so we'll see.

    You'll soon have the party paid for at this rate.

    Hope you're having a good day? xx

  • Jet lag is a pain in the bottom!

    Oh a wee cheeky £5.00 well done adding it to the party budget.

    I've still had nothing from PA this week - NOTHING!

    Why are they treating me this way - WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

    I'm alright, had a sore back all week & I swear it's driving me mad!

    Love it when you find money you forgot you had

    I'm dreading the jet lag more so for the kids especially my youngest who's grumpy at the best of times lol xx
