Morning. this morning I have £2.50 amazon voucher to withdraw from OP but it wont let me, I dont know if there is a limit you can withdraw from OP in a week or that, I emailed to find out. I rely on my amazon vouchers so hopefully will find out soon
Will continue doing surveys building up my voucher anyway for future until then.
My VO is at £4.15 so hope to get this above £6 for today and £8 tomorrow and fingers crossed cash out £10 Monday/ Tuesday for my sisters vouchers.
payday today, my savings is not where it should but tbf I did take money out for my holiday but will work on it better once holiday is paid off.... I aim for January for holiday being paid off. For a week all inclusive how much spending should I take? I was thinking £300 or should it be more?
Nothing else to add 28 days until next payday

Morning

I think for spending money it depends what you plan on doing while you're there. If you want days out etc then budget that in too. I think £300 is plenty if its just for treats and the odd day out etc.
Have a lovely day x0 -
I will mostly stay at hotel and do things there but have a day or two out n about n take my boy out for dinner somewhere nice n beach. Will try get more and if money left over brill
