I cashed out for £50 on YouGov today :j:j. Apparently payment goes straight to bank account within 4 weeks.
I also won £25 for submitting my ‘Comping Story’ (ie why I enter competitions and what I’ve won so far). They’ve chosen mine as their winning story
.
Weighed in the old clothes that were no good for eBay and got a massive £2.70 :cool:. Sold some vest tops that DS2 has outgrown on eBay as a bundle though and got £5 :T.
Have pre-spent all this money combined on ‘Dine with Shamu’ experience for when we are at SeaWorld in Florida
. In my defence, it’s about £78 which includes unlimited food and drink while we are there, and I figured we’d end up spending that on theme park food for the day anyway. This way we get the added encounter too.
In less brilliant news, DH has been (in his own words) woolly headed

Rubbish day today.
Vet thinks we should start thinking about having cat put to sleep. Not only is that awful, but it’s badly timed too with going away next week. We will have to think about it after we get back.
DH has been very confused today too. He forgot my name, then decided it was something completely different - I was Elizabeth for a while. No idea where he got that from. Sure this is all down to pushing himself at the triathlon :mad:. Hope he doesn’t get any worse.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Sorry to hear about your cat. Things like that often happen to us just before a holiday. How much quality of life does your cat have?
And a big boo to Mr Lucky Hope he's ok.
Big hugs xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
