EH - Essex > Hebrides...the next step of the adventure?

OK - cancel that last bit of annoying stuff - having logged into the main online banking I've now realised it needed adding to my showing accounts in there, and it now appears in the app as well - hurrah! Now I need to track down where I put THAT debit card (please let me not have lost that one, too!) and then I can start using that for spending money which was always my original plan. 

New bit of annoying stuff though - also while in the main online banking I tried to set up the new standing order for the monthly transfer to the new Coventry reg saver but for some reason it was having none of it. Tried twice, it failed twice, I'm now officially giving up until the weekend. 

I have however - in true "TaDa List" fashion:
- Set up the transfer for the £500 still in last year's Cov Reg Saver to the joint account ready to shift to PBs
- Requested closure of one of the old accounts that a previous reg saver has become - I no longer need it and it's the easiest way of extracting the 51p that was in there!
- explored to try to find out whether you can give accounts in there personalised names - it seems you can't, so I won't be stashing gym neutral money in the Coventry! 

Progress....not perfection.

I have not had a You Gov survey this year

I’m not sure if we’re with the same bank but I cannot set up a standing order to the new cash back credit card. It acts like I’m making an instant payment. Very frustrating. This is hfx

The photos are lovely. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with your £ tasks

I was having this issue and in the app my keyboard was covering the make standing order button, once I figured that out it was fine. 

ETA: I had to hit the edit button to change the date of when it went out.

I've not had much from Prolific either but I've had absolutely nothing from onepoll. I did the first survey after logging in for the first time in years and not a jot since then.

You're doing well in other areas 👍🏻

I went back with Toluna toward the end of last year. I got so sick of getting screened out I cancelled 🤬🤬🤬

Being self employed I gave up as I seemed to be screened out of them all.

Interesting to hear about everyone’s survey experiences - I’m lazy with YouGov I just admit, I get them through fairly often but the length puts me off. I do get to them eventually but I suspect sometimes it’s after the results have actually been used! 😂

Yesterday’s beer festival site visit ended up continuing on to several pubs (not unexpected!) - it’s the first time we’ve done anything face to face for the festival in 2 years so even though it was only a handful of us it was fab to get together. I finally got home just before 10pm - lovely MrEH picked me up from the station and stopped to pick up a Chinese takeaway for tea. A spendy day but worth every penny. 

Today has been a lot less hectic. A lazy start with tea and toast. A wander up the road to get MrEH’s paper, then he went off to rugby and I headed to the gym. Got back here at around 2pm, had a delicious bacon, egg and cheese toastie for lunch (to use up some of the last of a pack of bacon and the final two eggs). Did my report and recommendations for our areas of responsibility from yesterday and uploaded photos to the shared drive so others not present can see what we saw. Aside from doing some yoga the rest of the afternoon has just been me, the sofa and the TV. Fab and just what was needed. Now just waiting to see what time MrEH is likely to be back with a view to sorting out HM pizza for tea - the dough snd mozzarella from the freezer, the remaining bacon, some peppers from the bag I got from Mozzas last weekend. Possibly another topping too if I can find one. 

I have recorded a NSD I’ve just realised, and have also changed my per-visit gym cost to £330/2=£165. Also transferred the final £500 of Reg Saver money across to PB’s - hoping that hits the account by the end of the month so it’s eligible for the March draw.

Sounds like a wonderful day. 

Well done on the bargain gym session! I really must take some inspiration from you and use my home gym more.
