Thanks @beanielou @FootyFanDan & @ohdearhowdidthathappen ❤️
Feeling really motivated to get this debt down, it's been quite a while since we've been below £4,000.
We got home early afternoon yesterday and as the weather was decent we cracked on with unpacking and washing. Got lots line dried and sorted ready to put away today but the last load needs tumble dried as we have heavy rain at the moment.
We've all had a much needed lie in so feeling the benefit of that. Plans for today include putting together a shopping list once I've checked what's in. Hopefully get to the supermarket this afternoon. Need to pop in on Mum as she's got a tummy bug so feeling understandably sorry for herself, will grab a bunch of flowers for her seeing as I haven't sen her for a week. Also need to put suitcases back on the loft.
The boys have declared a PJ day so they're not planning on leaving the house 😂 DH is tired so is having a pottering about day.
Had a great result yesterday as I left Pro!ific open in between sorting the laundry and managed to bag a few AI surveys as well as a few little regular surveys and cashed out an amazing £31 to add to today's PAD! I've also hit the payout threshold for Jam D0ughnut so have £10 coming from there at some point.
Today's PAD £33
Debt Total £3950 (V12 £260)

Glad you had a lovely time away and what a fab debt total to get home to!
I'm trying to focus back on Pro!ific at the moment too - that was a great amount you cashed out!

Thanks @EssexHebridean ❤️ and good luck with your Pro!ific surveys, hopefully you'll be able to grab a few of the AI ones too as they're decent payers.
I'm hoping to grab a few more this week while we decompress from the holiday 🤞
