  • Well done on the jobs. Hope you get a start date soon. Pleased to hear that uni have sorted problem with the finance, just need student finance pull their finger out after all the worry you’ve had. You are doing well with surveys and matched betting at £50 a week. 🤗 Hope you feel better after resting and mini’s cough has gone.

  • Welll surprise suprise, they didn't call me back when they said they would! So still not sure when I'm starting. 

    Just cashed out £17 from prolific and I'm nearly up to the £50 withdrawal minimum with populus. Most of my Christmas shopping is done and we've managed to pay for this months nursery, so we're hanging in there! 

    Had a lovely morning at home yesterday. Mini was in an exceptionally helpful mood so we did a bit of washing and cleaning and made some banana bread together to use up some bananas that were quite brown (it was lovely). We had leftover bolognaise for lunch and then she went to her first party in the afternoon!  I ended up crashing when I got home and slept for about 3 hours, but it was worth it. 

    Today we've just pootled around at home, it's very cold and slushy outside post-storm Arwen and none of us were feeling very lively. My mum and sister popped round and brought us Mcdonalds for lunch and we had some curry from the freezer for tea, so all in all it's been a very cheap weekend, bar £6 for a party present. 

    Tomorrow I'm planning on having my usual Monday sofa day to recover.
