    Can I join the definitely no spends corner? Have found there's 78 weeks in March and it appears I'll only get sick pay for one of them. Fingers crossed my esa assessment goes ok next week for some back dated cash.

    Hope ESA assessment goes well.

    Morning teafor2 :wave:

    Good morning :)

    Day 27/31, NSD's 14/15, Prolific £1.50 cleared, £1 pending, Cash for 22nd-31st March £0

    Personally, there's nothing much to report today apart from it'll be another NSD so I'll hit my target of 15. I have some things I've made to send off to a charity so I'll pack them up but won't post them until next week when that big fat £0 disappears :)

    Financially, since hubby's mum passed away we've been sorting out paperwork and her house. Because of her illness we had a few months of being able to talk over things and hubby decided to keep the house and let it out and this week a young couple have moved in. That means the cash we've paid out since Christmas, which is quite a hefty sum, should be back in our account in a few months. That in itself is good news but even better is I get a spending rise so I'll now have £285 per month, a £45 increase :)

    I know I should probably pay this off the CC but I might use it to boost the pots or think about another couple of pots I could add that would come in handy. Something to ponder.

    Hope you all have a good day. xx

    Hi Beanie, yes extra cash is never to be sniffed at is it :) Just need to think what to do with it before 1st April - which can't come soon enough :D

    Hubby wasn't sure whether to sell the house but I thought we should hold on to it for a while and see how letting it goes. He's an only one so it was just his decision which helps. Even if we'd sold it and banked the money we'd not make anywhere near as much in interest as we will in rent. The other consideration was the way the young 'uns are struggling to get on the housing ladder these days it might be a stepping stone for them in the future. xx
