yes, I confess it didn't occur to me to wonder WHAT you'd be cleaning!! Maybe it's danger money?? Maybe there are large ferocious beasts involved??

Yay, another invite to Food Diary - that'll boost the old Shop & Scan points up nicely 😀
In slightly less MSE news, I have signed up to Apple Music 😮 There's a 3-month free trial and there are two albums out this month that I didn't have the money to pay for and didn't want to wait until I'd earned enough in vouchers on Shoppix, so thought I'd take the plunge! Plus, having lost my iPod last year and deleted iTunes off my laptop a couple of months ago, the idea of having my whole library backed up somewhere I can't b*gger it up is very appealing! Still not sure it's worth £9.99/month, but I've got until the new year to work that out and in the meantime have been downloading all sorts of stuff with gay abandon 😀 Now, of course, I'm deliberating bringing forward the replacement of my laptop as all I really need is a tablet if I'm not uploading CD's, and my laptop is on its last legs, and I could use that to listen to music in the house instead of bringing the iPod in from the car (which obvs is a massive trauma 🙄), and....and....and.... Think I may need to lie down in a darkened room - this is very uncharacteristic behaviour!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Ha, well as long as you carefully consider everything, find the best deal, and don't go into debt, I'm sure Martin would approve!
I've just experimentally signed up for Streetbees. Never heard of them before you mentioned them - let's see what bizarre things they throw at me! Nothing so far...7 -
Lots of survey companies offer iTunes voucher credit which can be used to pay for Apple Music (S&S now, among others). Occasionally I bung DH a £10’s worth when I feel the credit needs using.Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days
