  • Picked up another £5 on Amazon thanks to Martins weekly email for steaming one song from Amazon. Easiest £5 ever I think!

    Yesterday was such a lazy day. Just basically sat on my butt and read!  I suspect today will be much the same.

    That sounds interesting - I really have to get into the email again, that'll be a priority come February, I think, once all my catch-up shenanigans are done.  Enjoy your lazy day :)

    I'm planning a lazy day today too with very little guilt. Most jobs are done so I'm not doing other jobs for the sake of it. There's always something to do isn't there and downtime is so important.

    Thanks debtfree, just found the link to the offers.  I don't have the £5 offer but there's an offer for Deliveroo Plus free for a year with my Amazon Prime - going to have a look into that one.

    Defo one to keep an eye on for sure. I’ve 6mths free of prime as well but not keen to take that one up.

    We've tried a couple of new takeaways recently, and for some reason if you book through Deliveroo, the menu has a few more options.  You can still do the collection option, which I prefer as I take my cool bag and come straight home so its always hot when we get it.

  • Had a reminder through about the fact we had stopped paying the TV licence and realised it was paid in advance until June 2022 so I’ve requested a refund for the months paid in advance. Looks like we would only get 3 months back but still…

    Considering it’s January cash flow isn’t too bad and pretty sure we will end the month with money left over (unheard of in Jan!)

    Went to the beach yesterday and it was so warm with the sun out. Much needed Vit D.

    Few surveys yesterday. Did manage to get on a focus group for £20 next week so that will be interesting.
