    What a lovely Mum you have, great way to get a little extra too with the interest :T

    Hope the tidying went well :)

    Mum has sent the money - it hit my account tonight.
    Need to set up a YNAB category to "protect" it!!

    Tidying produced a settee I can actually sit on!!:rotfl:

    That's so nice of your Mum.. what did 54 minutes of tidying achieve?

    Hope you are mending well, with changing your eating habits, it is important to have your 5 a day - keep up those bounties. coconut is a fruit after all!

    I am mending well DFoD - pain free at the moment which always raises my spirits. So hard to keep positive when in discomfort.

    Love your Bounty logic. My mind says yes, my waist says no!!!:rotfl:

    Just delurking to say Hi ...and will be reading along :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Just done my first YGov survey and earned 50 points. By my reckoning that's worth 50p. Only another 98 such surveys to do to get my £50. Hoping I get some meatier ones which give more points! Guess they're starting me off gently.

    I remember being a member last time - it did get a bit ridiculous as they were sending 3 or 4 surveys a day, all of about 20 minutes in length.

    Popped to shop for milk and bread - £2.10
    Adjusted grocery budget in signature

    Also bought birthday card for stepmum. £1
    Business will pay the postage via my franking machine!
    Sent her flowers via the online florist I use. An email popped up this morning (sure they know when my family birthdays are - in fact if I was an online florist I'd make it my business to know...!!).
    Got a £34.99 bouquet for £20
    Had to transfer £10 across to my birthdays category on YNAB as slightly short. Borrowed it from Barbers. Will wait another week to have my haircut!!

    Get paid tomorrow from my weekly endeavour.

    Jobs a good 'un!
