Keep calm and carry on....

It's a version of 'fake it til you make it' i.e. keep spinning til it's a habit to think that way

I promise to do my best!

I've lost my free money mojo over the last couple of days. I knew my strong start to the month wouldn't work in my favour, there is definitely something in my psyche which means I perform better in an environment of scarcity than abundance 😐 Have just withdrawn 43p from Qmee so that I had something to put as today's efforts towards the total....

I will not be beaten, I will do this!

Right, that didn't happen 🙄 Too much time spent reading Cheery's old diary - whoops!

So, I need another £61 to hit this month's target. I can see where approx £25 is coming from with very little further effort required, which leaves me £36 to find over 18 days = £2 per day. Should easy peasy, but somehow that makes me less motivated rather than more! And it would actually be great to be above the target, as I have a couple of "debts to self" that I would like to nibble away at where I've paid for things I didn't have the cash for in my spending money (such as the underwear). Come on missus, you can do this!

There was hardly any loo roll in Sainsbury's when I went yesterday, I couldn't find any tissues whatsoever, and the government is warning us not to mix in groups this weekend. Which just puts me in mind of this:

If you do receipt scanning (and have an iPhone), the StoREwards app is now available on iPhone.  It gives you a £1 bonus for joining and the lowest cash-out amount is £2.  But you do seem to get daily rewards for logging in.  Just in case it helps...

I've lost my money-making mojo the last couple of days too, but I never find weekends that great for it anyway

Thanks Jess, I'm already on it with them! I'm also plugging away at Receipt Hog still, in the vain hope I can get another 503 points before it closes at the end of the month. It's a complete impossibility, but I keep telling myself I might win big on the hog slots 🤣 (and as I'm already photographing all my receipts 4 times anyway, plus another time for Shop & Scan, one more's not really going to hurt)!

  I just gave up and deleted that app!  To be honest I barely ever cashed out of it anyway.  I have higher hopes for this new one.  I hate scanning in receipts though.  For some reason, it gets thrown into the same mental pile as putting things on the Bay of E for me and I put those off for as long as possible.

Ah yes, the old eBay pile....😳 If I could clear that, I'd free up a whole drawer (which is almost more enticing than the pennies I'd earn 🤣) Now really is the time to get cracking on it, as I have plenty of time for the ridiculous packing-up and trips to the Post Office....🤔

No need to apologise, it's kind of my fault that you were reading it yourself! Anyway, I like to know the whole story - if I start reading a diary all the way through and give up, I always feel bad at myself for abandoning it so now I'm committed 😮!
