    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!
