    It's the last day with little miss in nursery, so trying to make the most of it. Trying to tackle the upstairs today. I've tidied and cleaned their room and our room. Hoovered everywhere too and de-cobwebbed the landing. Will do the bathroom later and if I can be bothered ( :D ) KM fold my clothes so they are tidier.

    Just cashed out £5.18 from TCB so that's another thing off the list.

    Am busy listing away and catching up on surveys. I've just subscribed from one company that I have a £0 balance on. I've got a couple of others I will leave as soon as I've cashed out.

    Payday today, hurrah! And I've got about £100 more than I thought I would so that's a relief. I didn't take into account reduced tax and pension (which I will have to buy back) so it's nice to have a bit more for the month.

    I did 24 listings yesterday for DH and me, so hopefully will get some cash back and declutter :D

    Just about to drag the kids out to the park before the rain arrives :D I had planned on taking them to soft play but as it's dry at the moment, I'll save the money until a wet day :money:

    Today's pads:

    £1.38 to Mortgage
    £7.00 to debt savings
    £0.30 to em savings


    Debt savings - [STRIKE]£19,320[/STRIKE]/£18,200 - £1120 paid :T

    Although I can't really afford it, I've sent over £38 to my LISA to round the balance up to £100 before the year end bonus and interest is added. It means I should get a 'free' £25 so it's worth it in the long run.

    Off to find little jwil a pair of wellies today. They keep his at school, which means we don't have any at home. As we are planning on taking them to an easter egg hunt in the woods at the weekend, they might be needed!
