Morning
Work again today 6-9, then I've got the weekend off.
I've paid £10 off the card today, that's £8 from Prolific and I topped it up £2, so that I can get below £2,400.
The balance is now £2,398.66- Going to see if I can get it below £2,300 by the end of next week, but not sure if that's doable seeing as Christmas is on the way and earning opportunities will be drying up.

Work was a bit better last night, not as busy and more staff in. I'm off now until Monday evening, and my OH is going to pick his mother up today and not coming back (with her) until Monday, so I have some peace and quiet for the weekend, which I will need, as his mother is staying for 2 weeks
Another £7 paid off the card thanks to Prolific. The balance is now £2,391.66.

Worst possible news today. Can't visit my family at Christmas as they are in the new tier 4, even though I'm literally 15 minutes down the road and am in tier 2. So I am going to have to spend the day with my OH's mother. Just sums 2020 up really!! Let's hope I get the vaccine in the early part of next year so things can start to get back to some sort of normality.

Busy day getting the house cleaned and tidy ready for OH's mother. Not going to bust a gut though - she can take us as she finds us!!
Nothing coming in to pay off the card today, so I've sent £10 to it, just to keep the PADing going - balance is now £2,381.66.

It's rubbish isn't it. We're not affected as we weren't planning to meet anyone, but I feel for everyone who is."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney3

Worked this evening, which I was grateful for as it got me out of the house, if you know what I mean!!
Nothing came in today to pay off the card, so I sent £10 over to keep the balance going down. It's now £2,371.66. I've got a few things in the pipeline, so hopefully I can get that balance down to under £2,300 soon.
