Morning Everybody

Day 4/31, NSD's 1/15, Prolific £3.90 cleared £0 pending, Cash for 1st-7th March £14.90

Had a little spend at the weekend which came to £11.85 but that included fish and chips for 2 and very nice it was . That leaves me with £14.90 for the rest of the week.

Pots have had their money added to them and the CC has had the extra paid off so on track with my plan for the month.

Not planning on spending anything today so will pop over to the NSD diary later on and log my 2/15 days.

Hope you all have a good day. xx

Hello my lovely,

Your spends are doing well and fish&chips definitely a yummy treat. Your 2 nsd are beating my zero!

Do you think surveys have been a bit weird recently? They're like buses wait forever and 3 turn up. I got fed up waiting on PA so have cashed out £8 something a couple of days ago and my 1poll is sitting about £14.

HHD - DD is back at Uni now and everything seems to be OK with her tooth, touch wood. I've been thinking though, if each one pushes through twice before they do something about it, that'll be 8 visits home to go to the dentist :eek: xx

Beanie - had a bit of a wobble over the weekend about not coming on here especially as I was spending, but I was very good and made a note of everything I spent to transfer onto here. xx

CG - Surveys are rubbish at the moment. I got a really good one for £2.50 from PA last week which cleared the same day, but nothing since. I'm only aiming for £5 cash outs now but I can't even get there :rotfl: Actually you've just reminded me I need to go and post my NSD's on the challenge board. xx

Evening Tea

Well done on keeping notes on the spends, I get twitchy now when I haven't come on and put it on my diary, its making me think twice about spending on nonsense. I have kept all my receipts too x

Hope you had a nice Tuesday
xx

Hi NMC - It does feel odd not coming on every day. The reason I decided on weekly-ish is because there are so many days where nothing financial happens I felt I was repeating myself and not saying anything different. But I have to say it's not sitting comfortably with me not reporting in every day, so I'm already re-thinking my plan. Might have to go back to daily, even if it's just a one liner. xx

I post daily on my diary and I feel it keeps me on the straight and narrow. Most of the time I'm probably blathering on about complete nonsense, but it keeps me happy . So you post as often as you want to TF2 .

As HHOD says above, you should do whatever you need or want to do to keep you going!

Half the time (ok...more than half) I just spout nonsense on my diary that is probably of no interest to anyone else but I'm ok with that. Our diaries are for us after all and although it's nice when other people join for the ride, you need to do what keeps you on the straight and narrow.

I always check in to see your updates even if I don't post myself so do keep going

Also, although it's a MSE board, it doesn't always have to be about money

Thanks HHD and HG. Even though we might feel we're writing nothing of any real interest, I think it's the little bits of normality in people's lives that connect us all and help us support each other from the side lines.

So, I was thinking about the daily updates last night and wrote this to post this morning - guess I'm back to daily updates

Day 6/31, NSD's 2/15, Prolific £3.90 cleared, £0 pending, Cash for 1st-7th March £14.90

After declaring I didn't need to come on here every day, just a few days later and I feel I'm already losing track of things, so even if it's just a case of posting a one-liner, it's back to daily updates for now.

There are now 39 smiley faces beaming at me from my CC chart, which means I've paid a total of £390 off since January, although interest has been added on to this. This month's big payment has helped and although I won't be able to do that every month, if I can keep adding to the pots it would be great if I could do it every 3-4 months.

Hope you all have a good day. xx

ETA - I think there should be more smiley faces than that so I need to look back and see exactly what I've paid off!
