  • My sleep is all over the place this last week. Another 2am wake up. Given up and got up to have a cuppa and see if I can find some hummingbirds on TCB.

  • Productive day yesterday. Prolific was busy and I have over £5 payout pending approval. 

    Reached payout on Ipsos again so £5 to the Amazon balance. That’s sitting at £46 now. M
    nipped into Mr S to get some things I would have got on our weekly shopping but got it there for bonus nectar points instead. Nectar sitting at £31.12

    also got selected for some year long diary study which will bring in £60 in Amazon vouchers during 2022. 

    Looking forward to a nice weekend and pretty chuffed I made it to gone 4am before waking up.

    Okay, so I had to google "hummingbirds on tcb" and now I know  :D  they look good!  

    So sorry your sleep is still so bad, debtfree, but yes, 4am waking is better than 2am waking.  Hope your weekend *is* good.

    You're almost 20% of the way there already - you're flying 👍! I know what you mean about the news, though. It's easily the most depressing half an hour of my day
