    Morning :)

    Day 8/31, Prolific £0 cleared, £1.80 pending, Spends 1st-7th May £40

    Cashed out £5 from Prolific last night so back to waiting for money to clear and more surveys to come in.

    The remainder of the CC money cleared quicker than we thought it would so I'll be paying the balance off today. :j

    In all the excitement of that I nearly forgot it was the start of a new week for me which means my spends are in. I need to have a look at the pots later on and decide if I'm topping any up or not. I've got an eye test this morning and shopping is being delivered this afternoon but apart from that it's another quiet day here .

    Have a nice day. xx

    We're having a food shop delivered too this afternoon :). I hope the eye test goes well.

    Thanks HHD :) Can't wait to make the final transaction. I'm not even going to miss it as I've not used it for probably coming up for 2 years now. Just been paying it off and watching interest get added back on :( It's all behind me now though. :) xx

    Eye test done and dusted - just a slight alteration to the prescription for my reading ones. The ones I wear for driving, watching TV etc are still fine. :)

    Credit card has been paid off and I got a bonus as well. Hubby rounded up the money to the nearest £100 so I've got a little extra cash in the kitty this month :)

    Need to have a look at figures and pots this afternoon but first I'm going to have a brew and eat a celebratory tunnocks teacake :D xx
