In better news, I managed to get my Sainsbury's shop to £5.07, so only cost me 7p 😀 I paid in cash 😀😀😀
And a 9p red onion netted me 50p back in points, so I'm now over the threshold to claim another £2.50 on Friday 😀😀😀Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Sorry to hear you didn't sleep well.
Wow, that's a complicated free money situation - but a good one to be in?! The Nectar situation seems like madness - they are virtually giving you food!

Thanks Vix, tried to snooze this afternoon but not sure if I actually managed it? All money is good is my thinking 😀 and I've made it slightly easier on myself today by transferring the £2.00 cash I've had credited into the grocery budget instead of the EF! Honestly, the Nectar app is great, you don't always get paid to take stuff away, but I'd say they do it most weeks 😀
Daily average now up to £4.63 - whoop whoop 😀😀😀!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you actually nod off, just having your eyes closed for a few minutes helps.Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Fame for my block of flats last night, as it featured (very fleetingly) in the background of a report on the local news. I paused the telly and sent a photo to BF 🤣!
Walk this morning was....bracing. My hat blew off as soon as I got out of the door, and I got splashed by a wave when walking on a pavement about 10 feet above the level of the sea (with the sea wall in between) 😮! I'm hoping walking into the wind will have burned some extra calories 😀 I've increased the route recently with an extra uphill bit, don't think it's made any difference to the wobbly belly though, haven't been on the scales again since the other day - I'd rather not know for a minute!
Daily average has slipped to £4.50, but the day is still young and I have another £5.00 of Nectar points to claim later 😀Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Walking into the wind definitely burns extra calories!
Remember lots of factors affect weight - water retention (which is affected by your cycle), time of day, what you've eaten yesterday (and even whether your scales are reliable - mine change with the wind!).
Good luck with the extra money (and job applications?) today!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days
