Not any more it isn’t! 50p survey this morning and so I’ve reached £50 payout. Super happy except I can’t seem to redeem my points but have submitted a support request.Weather is wet wet wet out there. Think we have a weather warning for the next 24 hours so it’ll be a stay at home day pottering about and sorting. Need to list one fleabay item and tidy up the house generally. Happy Friday all.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Wow, you really accelerated there! I'm really near a £10 voucher on SB (all I do is the daily poll and playing 5 games a day, which I'd do anyway) so this is a big deal
The weather forecast in the affected areas sounds horrendous - my area's just damp, nothing at all. Stay safe, debtfree.2023: the year I get to buy a car3 -

YouGov credit was in the bank last night. Sooooo quick!So confession - daily spending has just run away this month and I’ve had to shift some from easy access savings to cover it. Savings down £400 which includes some of the vet bill so I need to build that back up in 2021 but I’ve just given myself a bit of grace and stopped breaking my neck trying to repay the savings at this time when we’ve had quite a few unexpected expenses.Quiet weekend ahead which should involve no money being spent.Just renewed all library books due back although our library isn’t charging overdue charges.*Still need to list the fleabay item today

So financial plans for 2021 start to take shape. DHs computer had been on last legs for ages, he had started to look around with the intention of buying in the sales. However the one he had his eye on went down to £600 yesterday which was a serious saving so we bought.We have a £10k savings pot which along with the vets bill, the computer purchase and life is now depleted to £9050 so first agreed goal for 2021 will be to restore that to £10k and stretch goal will be to get it to £11k. So savings of £1900 to be done.Still didn’t get round to the fleabay item or the greenhouse! Christmas food order done so that’s one thing off the list.Happy Sunday all.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

That's a decent sum to pay for a computer that you actually want, excellent news. As I just wrote on another thread, no clue about financial plans yet, but I shall have a think today while putting away the washed and cleaned shopping.2023: the year I get to buy a car3
