Chuffed I’ve reached my OP target but will keep saving for the next £1k to OP. I should hit my savings target this month. So it’s a month to go after the free money… prolific is always quieter in August though

Well managed 30 mins in the garden In Between showers yesterday to pick up leaves that had fallen during the storm. It looked like autumn out there. Some plants have taken a battering as well.A quiet weekend ahead I think. Hopefully get the washing out to dry outdoors. Such a difference from last weekend weather wise.Hit £18 cleared on 1poll so not too long before payout reached.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Morning DFOD.
Well done on getting out in the garden, i need to have a tidy up in mine, but the weather isn't motivating me. I'm hoping the warm weather comes back hate having to use the tumble dryer at this time of year but needs must when i can't peg out.
Hope you manage a quiet weekend xx3 -

No PB win for us this month…
I do like 1poll since they’ve changed their format SC. Feels I get to payout so much quicker. Used to be once a year before but now 2/3 times.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Well a bit of good news. I raised a complaint with the solicitors as a result of their dreadful service and they’ve cleared all the fees so although the potential house move was costly in terms of surveys, we haven’t had to pay any of the legal fees at all. I was slightly dreading that bill if I’m honest.Weather has turned here and it’s wet out there.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
