    Hi HHD :) Yes, I'd like to build the pots up again and get in front of myself then hopefully I can pay another big payment to the CC. I'm definitely borrowing £1k from 'us' when I hit that mark so the sooner I get there the better.

    Surveys are rubbish at the moment. I've been stuck on £3.05 for weeks. But I don't come on the laptop as much during the day so I'm probably missing the few that are out there. xx

    I think off the top of my head just over £400, so by July it should be gone. It's always been a goal for me since I started the diary and I think hubby will be happy with 3 months of money built up again so it should fall into place nicely. xx

    There's one on for 87p now Tea I don't know if you have it? When it's approved I finally hit the £5 cashout for the first time in weeks!

    Glad you had some lovely treats with your hard-saved-for pot money! Everyone's right, you'll have that built back up again in no time at all.

    I haven't even logged into PA for weeks - got totally fed up with the lack of anything. Although I know you need to be in it to win it. Must make time (and find motivation) to get back into it!
