I am really behind on diaries and some back to 10 December
Just caught up on this one, but a few more to go... SC, you always remind me to try a bit harder on my extra income activities, so that is always appreciated

OMG, I thought I'd better raise my game on the free money stakes as I've not done very much so far this month. Started a survey which turned out to be about feminine hygiene products and looked like it was gearing up to be a product test.... Very relieved to be screened out - I can only muster up so much enthusiasm for answering questions on that particular subject 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Apparently I was one of the most prolific purchasers of red onions in my local Sainsbury's last year - not bad for someone that lives alone! Now I know why I get them as an extra points offer most weeks 🤣!

I do love onions (and garlic - whoops!) 😀
Apparently they were the top item I purchased, followed by bananas, followed by own-brand diet coke. Now, given that I only drink coke with spirits and that I stopped drinking spirits at the end of July, that will give you a feel for how stressed I was in the first half of the year....!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
