Fixing to get away from a supplier you hate is worthwhile! Peace of mind comes in all sorts of shapes and forms. And that car insurance renewal sounds fantastic!2023: the year I get to buy a car1

In that period of the month when nothing really happens money wise.£14.22 in from prolific and I’ve £23 waiting to clear in there though most of that is a £15 survey that I’m still doing daily for a few more days.We are looking at getting solar panels and air source heating put in. Still just making final decisions. Still haven’t fixed energy as everywhere I look it’s well above 35-40% over. Current supplier DD, not that I want to stay with them would rise from £152 to £307 which is just crazy! They have emailed this week to say monthly DD is rising £20 but I put away more than that so it won’t impact us yet.Might go divvy up next months money - makes me feel like I’m doing something productive money wise.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Money divvied up. Totals done although I’ll hold off posting for a few more days. Also just gone with base pay for both of us though DH is due a load of expenses this month so there will be more but I’ll find something to fling that. Probably towards the replacement carpets.£5 in from ipsos and an impromptu bedroom sort by DD has turned up over £30 worth of books I can sell. Might wait for DS to do his room as he will turn up some as well for sure.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

£5.13 in from prolific and £15.34 cleared but I can’t cash it out until tomorrow.Looked round for a good energy fix with no luck. Everything is way above 35-40% so guess I’m staying put for now.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

£15.34 in from prolific and divvied up against pots. Randomly 1poll added £11.70 to my account for a survey so I’ve reached payout. I’ve requested it and it appears to be going through so fingers crossed for that £25!Will finish up monthly figures now as nothing else dueDFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
