Keep calm and carry on....

Have got it together to do a few things:
* Washing 
* Washing up (again - can't wait to have a dishwasher 😦)
* Tried on clothes and packed up. Only kept the top in the end
* Sent the work email and did a couple of little admin tasks. Was probably online for an hour and a bit
* Wrote an ENORMOUS to-do list for work
* S&S - took ages as it kept saying there was an error and I was getting wound up, then realised I hadn't actually connected the lead 😂
* Hoovered 
* Shredded a load of paper and bagged up ready to throw away
* Sponsored someone
* Actually got it together to do a job search, found something perfect but it's too far away 😯
* Did a Prolific survey, which will get me the 31p I've been waiting on for ages to get to cash out
* Told CP about my new top (with a couple of colourful additions to get me over the points threshold)

Think I'll read a chapter of my book now, then get ready to go to BF's. He has people over for dinner tonight so I have to look presentable, which is partly why I feel sulky 😮

£5.33 in from Prolific, taking Project £36 to £82.15/£36.00 😀 Payday in a couple of days, may set myself a new challenge

Have peaked a little early on a bonus 29th February OP (courtesy of SJ's inspired idea) as it's payday on Friday and didn't want the usual payday OP's to mask the bonus one. Decided to do 29 days' worth of interest = £61.72. Fortunately the outgoing month's petrol budget was able to cough up £50 towards it, and managed to scrape the rest together out of a couple of the other pots. That's quite a nice chunk I probably wouldn't have paid off without getting the bug from on here, I love the fact that each time you think you really can't do any more you usually end up doing more and then some😀

Current balance £30,110.64

Wage slip day tomorrow, so the evening will be spent plotting 😂

Well done South! Hehe, I got my wage slip yesterday and spent last night plotting

South_coast

Thanks Jessy - plotting is the best! 

*ahem* WAGE SLIP DAY 😀😀😀!!!

Money set aside for DD's, monthly pots filled up and £1457 allocated to OP's 😀 First tranche goes out tomorrow, which will see me well into the 29's. This time next month is the anniversary of starting the mortgage, so am going to dig out the payment schedule and see what the balance should have been - have a feeling it will start with a 5 😮 

Of course, the money actually going into the bank tomorrow will now be a complete anti-climax as it's already all set up to go straight back out again and I'll be looking ahead to the next payday so I can start all over again - at least there's only 28 days to wait for this one 😂 Right, I'd better put some dinner on, I was too excited when I got home to think of anything else!

Well done, what a great idea about the 29th...
(Goes away mumbling about why his spreadsheet didn't think about this...)

I can't take the credit I'm afraid - it was Shanghai Jimmy over on his thread. Think he's got the cogs whirring for a few people 😀

Well done on the bonus OP's and this months OP - good work!

South_coast

Thanks DFOD 😀

Ooh I got a mention for an idea on someone elses thread! I've been really disciplined and am waiting till tomorrow for my 'leap day overpay'. I suspect the build up will be more exciting than the actual doing!!
