Glad that you had a good day.
What is the minimum spend with Sainsbury’s?

Its still £40 if you don't want to pay anything extra other than delivery. Its only Asd@, Tosco and Sainsbo who deliver here so all at £40 minimum shop now Am just very annoyed that @sda sneaked in their increase without announcing it as far as I know. I should probably email and complain

Very wet and dreich here today but twas the forecast. No need to water the garden.

Am off to the city shortly, meeting a friend I've not seen for ages for a couple of hours before work and won't be home till later tonight.

Am up to £14+ on Prolific and clunking along on 1poll at 30p off cash out. Have transferred some money out of business account which gets no interest to interest giving current account. Its earmarked to pay CC bills and debts but might as well get a few pence interest in the meantime.

Had a busy few days so glad its the weekend. Bought myself a new waterproof jacket which was almost half price in a sale. I'm going to an outdoor concert soon - and the Scottish weather being what it is, its best to be equipped for several seasons. The ticket was a birthday pressie and looking forward to it. My current rain jacket is about 17 years old so doesn't owe me anything and the coating near the collar has started to disintegrate so it leaks :eek: We've had some very heavy rain in the last few days and I got caught in one of the showers so the new jacket has been tested already.

I managed to get to cash out on 1poll yesterday and I also had a few Prolific surveys so have cashed out £20+ with them. I got a bonus payment for a couple of the surveys so that added £2.68 which was handy. I also did a Pinecone survey and added that to the points I already had for a £5 @mazon voucher. I've bought another set of raised feeding bowls for big old furry boy with that and other vouchers I had.

Happy new jacket to you.
At just the right time I think!

Have sent you a wee message

Sounding good, teapot (apart from how heavy your rain is!).

Have sent you an epistle in reply - think I nearly broke the internet - it refused to 'send' for a while :rotfl: x

Got up early [for me on a Saturday] and went to collect a parcel from the sorting office which closes at 10am. It was big, old, furry boy's new 'raised' feeding bowls as I suspected. Also went for a cuppa and a scone, was yum - fresh baked and still warm. Also checked the charity shops, just missed out on a back pack, I could do with a new one as my current bag has a broken zip on it. Bought some mini courgettes and few broad bean pods from the veg shop too.

Came home and did a decent Prolific survey then I sorted out my work diary with appointments etc. I roasted a load of veg this afternoon and had some for tea with brown rice, beetroot and yoghurt. There's enough for tomorrow as well. Have also made a load of sauce for meatballs which I'll make for the family tomorrow once I've been out to get mince.

I had a smallish online sale today - first one for a while so will post that on Monday. Going to chill now and watch 'Killing Eve'

Will be at a work meeting in another town on Tuesday and it has lots of charity shops so will trawl them for a backpack.

Took me a while to get into 'Killing Eve' and now I'm hooked :o.
