    Morning

    Day 2/31, Prolific £2.32 cleared, Spends £31 1st-7th July

    I moved up a shelf with Shoppix yesterday and got a good bonus for doing so, which means I'm definitely going to be able to cash out today. That means the target pot is officially crossed off the list. :T Have to say I’m feeling quite proud that I’ve been able to fill this one, Christmas and charity in advance. I started this diary not knowing where my money was going; now I know what I’m doing and on top of it so much I’ve got ahead of myself. :D

    It’s shopping day today and my turn for coffee so there’ll be a spend there although not as much as usual. I’m trying to lose a bit of weight so will pass on the toasted teacake.

    Really need to try and keep hold of my money this week if I can as me and DD are out for lunch on Friday then off to the theatre. It’s just a quick bite so our tummies aren’t rumbling through the show and she’s suggested a place that’s not too expensive so I’m hoping what I’ve got will cover it. If not, I’ll dip into the spends – again :o

    Hope you all have a lovely day. xx

    Thanks Beanie :) It does feel good. And hopefully it means I'll be able to add a bit more to Christmas over the next few months which will help. xx

    Morning :)

    Day 4/31, Prolific £3.57 cleared, Spends £26.50

    Quite a spendy day ahead of me and I think I’m going to have to dip into my savings as well. I’m used to going everywhere in the car so had forgotten I’ll need to spend on train fare so that’s £6 I’d not accounted for. :o Really looking forward to meeting up with DD though so I’m not complaining.

    DS has had a growth spurt this week, which is typical just before the end of term. His trousers are at a length where I’d normally be buying new ones but with just 2 weeks to go I’m keeping quiet. ;)

    Need to update the Christmas and Charity pots over the weekend. I’ve ordered a couple of presents and also donated to a charity as part of a Christmas present so need to sort the figures out to keep on track.

    Right, best get a move on. I've got a daughter to meet, lunch to eat, drinks to drink and a show to watch.

    Have a great day everybody. xx
