Viking's Diary

And so we start again. £55.71 standing order OP gone. 

Need to focus on how we're going find the other £45 to get up to £100 which is the basic aim. Still have my 5p roadkill kicking about! I could sort out some books to WBB which would probably be a good idea. Also could brave V*need with some of the good tidbits of kids clothing which got missed in the general handmedown to local groups. 

Our water bill is going up £22 a month from next month though so also need to rejig budget. I was blaming OH's lengthy showers in the new bathroom but I realise the overall price rise is probably to blame as that's about 50% of the old bill. 

Mr Million didn't call but I need to check to see if there's been any good but lesser news on the PBs.

TCB offer yesterday so bought a book token to pay for one of the things on my list to buy for DS1. £2.40 cashback on a £5 spend, immediately withdrawn and transferred in advance as an OP. 

Not the best news this morning so I'm trying to figure out something positive to do today.

I never think to buy vouchers with the TCB offers. Must look into that.

D'oh, I did use TopCashBack yesterday, but I didn't know there was an offer on 🤦‍♀️

I'm only using the library at the moment but before that any time I wanted to buy a book in Waterpebbles or Blackwalls I was using TCB to get a book token for the exact amount. You get 7% on book tokens which is pretty generous.

Pretty lousy week with germs up the wahoo. On the other hand I haven't been anywhere to spend anything although I did renew the Pr*me subscription so I could binge some tv while in bed. 

Just checked the TCB and last month's pet food has come payable so that's £1.04 to the OP. I have also been paid a £100 of external work and have put £50 into the PB tax payment fund. Still to decide about the other £50 - OP or ISA. Or xmas I suppose.
