    My updates is I am at work gerrrrrrr night shift 3 of 4.

    We have a docs appointment to see if my o/h can drive again tomorrow. 
    Hopefully she can as I love driving since i past my test but hate my other half in the back, think worst back seat driver lol.

    Money wise everything is good. 

    I clicked another 30p cashback from Chase yesterday.

    I sold on Vinted 2 padlocks for the gym lockers that didnt fit. £3.50

    Top cashback I have just dropped 8quid which was for a gap insurance

    Curious Cat £1.10

    £12.90 not bad for doing !!!!!! all bar a handful of surveys on my breaks at work and posting an inpost parcel. I did have to buy anything.

    50 percent has gone off my cc and the rest into my E/F and other pots ie hols fund, car fund, xmas bday fund etc.

    Spend day was 6 quid, my other half likes our lil one in Blade and Rose stuff so i bought this cute lil set off Vinted new with tags.
  • Its being a horrible day today lil Charlie has had her first vaccines and from 11am- till about 15mins ago on and off she has screamed blue murder. 

    I hate seeing my lil girl in pain. She has had the max Calpol shes allowed

    My 23 year son I am sure his vaccines werent as bad a this.

    Well my weekend has being nice.

    Saturday we had a tv and relax day with the lil one. The weather here Saturday was lousy 50mph winds and heavy ran.

    Sunday i did a nice gym session with my mate, followed by a Sauna/x3 Corona in the hotel bar after. 

    Then i took the lil one for a two hour walk up the coast to burn off the beers while my other half got some kip.

    We did a bit decluttering on the Sunday 1 large boxes of books which will be enroute to we buy books tomorrow.

    8quid

    Cashback from chase i have had 86p come in over the weekend.

    And some blade and rose stuff we sold on Vinted 5 pound on route.

    13.86 aint bad.

    re Vinted we have bought and sold loads on there

    random baby books
    padlocks
    blue tooth speakers
    baby clothes and our clothes

    The missus has had some nice bargains on vinted for 6-12 quid for Blade and Rose outfit sets that are normally 25-30.

    The only problem is some stuff we cant shift on there, we have at times done a few charity shop runs, every one under the sun bought us newborn baby grows/sleep suits/vests. Theres a charity baby shop near us and we gave them loads of bits.

    My lil girl is in the cutest Superman set right now.

    https://bladeandrose.co.uk/products/superman-saves-the-day-top

    We got one on Vinted for 9 quid new with tags.

    Well, our day has been okay. Charlie’s been to the doctor and has been put on Gaviscon sachets — bless her. She hasn’t been keeping things down and has been getting horrible stomach pains. We gave her the first one this morning, then another mid-afternoon, and wow — our happy, less pukey baby is back!

    We haven’t had the best few days.

    Surveys and cashback: nothing today. I did get £7 from Vinted for a T-shirt I sold.

    I’m going to start noting down my total additional earnings on every post — from surveys, Vinted, cashback, and Chase cashback.

    I want to show people how much extra they can earn! In the past, I really went hard on surveys and, from memory, earned around £1,400–£1,500 from surveys, cashback, and eBay stuff over 12 months. And extra easy 75-125pm 

    Total extra earnings: £7
