Last month of DH's temporary pay increase so will fling that all at CC2 I think.. still hopeful of clearing it by the end of the year.
Another M1ndmover survey done, up to £17.65 on there, will get to £20, take payout and quit those ones as it's taken forever to get there.
Another prelim survey done on pcone,
Done a bit of research for littlies birthday pressies today.. bookmarked and waiting for Black Friday to buy those.. need to convert everything I can to am@zon vouchers beforehand, hoping the £40 TCB for the bank switch comes through.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

My paypal balance has been looking strange for a few weeks in that it seems to have £1.02 that I could never withdraw - worked out it was $ although I don't understand why that is, so withdrew the dollars today which will convert to the £1.02. £5.28 OP sent today to round down the bank account balance to £40 :eek: It is seriously poor at the moment, so many of the pots got emptied this month.
£50 will arrive tomorrow from grandparents for the littlies, so it will look at least a little healthier and then first pay day Tuesday.
Nice day out yesterday picking our pumpkins and then went down the beach, very little spent.
Quieter day at home today.. will get out at some point to walk the woofer and get some fresh air!
Have a good day all.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

The £1.02 arrived in the bank today so sent that straight to the CC. Not sure what the balance is, will just keep sending what I can and check next month - it's £600 something..
Spendy morning by 7am - two pairs of walking boots purchased as these are desperately needed as we are out and about so much. Got them both in mountain warehouse 50% sale and got 5.05% cashback as well.
Just waiting for £3.03 to track to payable and then I have £4.18 to claim for am@zon. about a month before black friday when I will do a big order on there.. so the more I can get in vouchers for there, the better.
Off out tomorrow for a big long walk... car is back in the garage with a few issues - again hoping it's all covered by the warranty..
Happy Monday allDFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
