Morning Everybody

Day 21/31, NSD's 11/15, Prolific £0.27 cleared £5.83 pending, Cash for 15th-21st March £13.50

I was on fire with surveys yesterday and not only managed to cash out £5.20 but will be able to cash out again when more have cleared. :T

Looking at the joint account yesterday and it's been an expensive month for us with nearly £400's worth of 'extras' to pay out. DS has cost us a tidy sum with his residential trip away which was a last minute thing that we'd not accounted for and the car had its MOT and service yesterday which was nearly £200 - accounted for but still money to pay out. A bit of belt tightening for a few weeks now I think :cool:

Another NSD planned for today. This week seems to have been a long one and I'm looking forward to getting my spends tomorrow and updating the pots. I've not really added anything to them this month so would like to get back on track with that in April.

Hubby had to buy a few bits and bobs yesterday so I've snaffled his receipts and I'm nearly 1/3 of the way to cashing out again with shoppix. RH is a lot slower but I'm getting there slowly.

Hope you all have a nice day. xx

Decided to do a count up of survey money and receipt money since 1st January and was surprised to find I've had £50.77 from Prolific and £5 from Shoppix = Total 'free' money £55.77 :T

Most of this has gone on things behind the scenes like bits for FB/charity etc. But still, it's money I wouldn't have had so I'm feeling inspired to carry on and see what the next 3 months bring. xx

Well done on the surveys tea, that's amazing! I'm nearly at £10 again in a week so will cash that out and stick it in my Christmas pot.

Hi CG - It seems to be all or nothing with the surveys lately doesn't it. But I'm not complaining - this week

Morning

Day 22/31, NSD's 12/15, Prolific £2.47 cleared £4.62 pending, Cash for 22nd-31st March £26.75 + £13.50 - £7.19 = £33.06

It isn't going to be a NSD. I've already taken £6 from my spends for a small birthday gift, rounded up the CC bonus pot by 19p and added £1 to the charity pot, so that leaves me with £33.06 for the next 10 days. I'm out for a meal on Monday with friends so most of that will go which means things will be quite tight for the rest of the month.

Week 4 of March and the pots are pretty much the same as last week apart from the savings. I've taken £25 out for some shoes - this time of the non clip clop variety I hope :rotfl:

Savings £49.50
DS Savings £30
Christmas £37
Caravan £45.50!
Dogs £75
Hairdressers £10
Christmas Charity £9
Credit Card extra payment £40
CC Bonus Money £4.00

Think that's about it on the money front for now. Have a great Friday everybody. xx

Iive has a rush on the surveys and I've got £9.53 ready and £1something pending.

Well I broke my rule....I used some of my money to buy things for the kids! It should have come from joint, but there's nothing in there. Told hubby I'm happy to do it, but it'll be the first thing I transfer back once we've been paid. Pants, bras, socks, jeans and tops! Holy moly they need to stop growing!

Hi CG - well done on the surveys. If I get a couple more 'good' ones this week I'd be able to cash out again but trying not to tempt fate by 'thinking' too greedy :rotfl: Rules are made to be broken As long as you make it a priority to put your money back that's the main thing.

Day 24/31, NSD's 13/15, Prolific £1.50 cleared, £1 pending, Cash for 22nd-31st March £26.75 + £13.50 - £7.19 = £33.06

Quiet weekend with just a little spend of £3.75 on Saturday. DS is home from his weekend and had a brilliant time. He's also kitted out with clothes and trainers for the next few months now (hopefully), unless he keeps growing!

Hope you've all had a nice weekend. xx

Thanks Beanie He's quite a homebird so although he was excited to go it was definitely out of his comfort zone but a personal challenge is good for the soul


Morning

Day 25/31, NSD's 13/15, Prolific £1.50 cleared, £1.55 pending, Cash for 22nd-31st March £29.31*

It's definitely not going to be a NSD today. I've a parcel to post - £2.95. Gift - £5 and meal tonight - no idea but more than I'll have in my purse I've left the cash as it is in the header and will update tomorrow when I know what the official damage is.

The dogs are also being groomed this morning but I've got that money in my pot so that's good. It's usually £64 so I'll put the £11 difference in my purse to cover the spends today and the meal.

There's been quite a bit of spending and re-jigging money around this month. I'm looking forward to starting over again in April and getting back to basics.

Have a great day everybody. xx
