Another one hoping for a PB win, it will be our first so wouldn't mind the wait if it's for the big one!

Well no PB win for us and again I’m up at crazy o clock, news from last night on my mind. I know we can get through it, just now of a not wanting to even have to do it. Tired of the stop start stop start of life. 

As much as we home educate permanently anyway and that doesn’t change, it’s the complete withdrawal of social interactions the kids and I find tough.  But the education side is fine for us and we just carryon as normal, if anything we do more!

Anyway focus on the positives, today is a Mummy inset day where we will brainstorm what we would like to do during lockdown and I’ll form some plans and we will watch a movie!

MSE positives, we won’t be spending much money and I’ll be around much more to do some surveys!

Ooohh...I like the idea of today being a mummy inset day. I have no idea how today is going to pan out in terms of home schooling and work. School have said they'll contact us about home schooling later so guess we'll just have to wait and see what their expectations are and then make plans from there.

I genuinely find it fascinating to think about what I would do if the kids were at school. I know people that just kicked back during first lockdown and did no set school work and others that did try to do it (at times causing stress to the family).  

Loads of good stuff online though and things like let’s go live, science shows etc. If anything this time only enriches our home education more as there is so much more stuff out there for free.

Mummy inset day is wonderful!  And I didn't realise you homeschooled in any case.  A lot of  very positive stuff there!  But I'm horrified to see the timestamps on your overnight post - really need the blue haired shrieky smiley

My sleep is the first thing to go when I’ve things on my mind KC. I’m very much an early bird. I’ll be dead on my feet at 9pm!

Just did a pcone survey and two on prolific that will push me to payout when they clear. Nabbed £2 on store rewards last night and sold £20 worth of stuff to a friend and a £4.50 item on fleabay so earnings for Jan up to £31.26.  Not that I want to hit the PO but I do need to post a parcel for a family member. 

We buy books collected and on their way so hopefully I’ll get the credit for those soon enough. 

No motivation to get outdoors today but determined to get out most days still during lockdown.

Got outside for a walk and did some tidying in the garden. 

Got up to the £25 credit from 1poll in the bank so £12.50 put to the OP pot and £12.50 to the save pot. I’m finding the new app not as good as the old one. Anyone else?

Reached £5.06 payout on prolific so cashed that out and split it 50/50 on OP and Save pots. 

I reckon I’ll be able to stash another £100 from fuel bill at the end of the month as we won’t be using the car much but I’ll leave it until nearer then before I do it. 

Current events aside the month is shaping up quite nicely financially so far.

I also braved the scales which I won’t do again until we come out of lockdown. I’m determined to swish my way out of lockdown looking like a goddess. 😂😂

Well maybe not actual swishing but carrying a few less lbs, in direct contrast to the additional ones I staggered out of lockdown number 1 with.
