£5 in from ipsos and £3 credit from pcone so Amazon balance updated.Got very grumpy at Mr T and have cancelled our deliveries. I’m going to go do the shop for a while and see how much of a hassle it is.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

What a complete pain about MrT! It is tricky to have enough stock in so that if they don't have something, it doesn't disable you, so to speak - I'm used to it now, and the drivers are often pretty good too. Hope you find a system that suits you soon.2023: the year I get to buy a car4

Well I got £7 back from Mr T so a bit of a bonus I guess.£10 in from nectar. TCB are giving £1.50 off an Easter egg receipt so I bought two which I needed to last night and uploaded the receipts so £3 and a bit more cashback on the way to the bank.Interesting guide from Martin this week about beating the cost of living rises. Heat the human, not the home keeps sticking with me.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Just a quick thank you for the mentions you give for TCB - I never remember to look and your comments have meant money off things like supermarket gift cards. I’m very thrilled at the idea of £1.50 off an Easter egg 😊4

Re heat the human - so right. I still sit in a cosy blanket as a sort of cross between bedding and a throw and a hot water bottle on my shins and feet - invariably with a cat on top so that when I go to bed I am warm and as a result, I sleep better and don't miss the fact no heating is on.Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £9586.01 out of £6000 after August (158.45%)
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £2135.07/£3000 or 71.17% of my annual spend so far

Loads of ipsos surveys waiting this morning so £5 Amazon voucher in and account topped up. Currently at £60 in there. Need to spend £30 on a birthday present and the cats medication and then I’m saving up to £60 for a birthday present for later in the year. I figure everything I get through there I can release money saved in the gift account.Quiet day ahead. Much needed. Films. A fire and some tea. Oh and a few surveys to keep me occupied xDFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Yep, I'm going to work on heating the human for next winter. Lots of my stash of material is of very big pieces of fabric, and they'd require very little work to become lovely warm blanket/throw things. And the draft-proofing I started on, and had to abandon in favour of preparing for the double glazing, will also be finished by then.2023: the year I get to buy a car4

Felt very off yesterday. Little energy and just so so tired. Good nights sleep and lazy morning (still in bed) has sorted me out.I did get some planting done yesterday though. Put out the sugar snap peas and moved two planters and put sunflowers seedlings in there. I’ve another 25 of so sunflowers to do today and some sweet peas which I fail at every year so who knows if this is the year!
so another day of pottering, gardening and generally taking it easy. Despite hoping for a quiet ish two weeks of Easter we Seem to have a pretty busy diary. So I’m going to enjoy today and the slow pace.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
