    Hi NMC :) I'm definitely not stockpiling anything again, those Brexit boxes in the wardrobes drove me mad! I couldn't get to my knickers without having to move pasta and cereal  :D I've been out this morning and it's absolutely normal in the shops. Shelves are full of stuff as usual and the medicine section is well stocked. Having said that, it doesn't do any harm to have a few extra bits in. I do think it's going to get worse but for now will happily plod along safe in the knowledge I have an extra box of paracetamol in the cupboard  :p I keep telling myself most of us will probably just have 'very bad flu' symptoms. Touch wood very few of us will end up in hospital or worse. Have a good day. xx

    Hi Monz :) Yes, if people need to be told how to wash their hands we're a lost cause. Having said that I stood over DS last night and made him sing Happy Birthday twice, just for the fun of it. He's never sung a song so fast  :D Have a good day. xx

    It did become a bit of a faff but at least the packets were well sealed. Crumbs in my kecks would have been the last straw! xx

    Morning :)
    Day 6/31, Prolific £5.66 cleared £1.05 outstanding, Spends £25.50

    Dog grooming today but the cost of that is covered with the monthly savings. Think this is the best pot I set up. Used to hate having to find a lump sum of money out of my savings every 3 months. One of the dogs is 10 years old and I've only just got my act together with this   :p

    Small spend of £4 yesterday and receipts have been uploaded to Shoppix and RH. Unless I go completely crazy over the next couple of days I should have a fair bit to add to some pots.

    Car had it's MOT and service yesterday and everything was fine so that was good news.

    Surveys seem slow, I usually have a few under my belt in the first week of the month. The money cleared and pending is mostly from February. 

    Hope you all have a good weekend. xx
