Thanks! You’re not rid of me yet though… a few more days.
I’ve just cashed out £5 from Prolific and sent it to CC7. That total is coming down

Good morning, it's a lovely sunny day here which makes me happy
Made my £1 PAD to CC7 this morning, today's not a NSD as I have the obligatory beauty appointments this morning, I had forgotten about them to be honest and my sister had to remind me last night!
Nothing available yet on Prolific but there's over £9 pending and there's almost £1 in pence in my Paypal account as I have only been withdrawing the whole £'s to pacify my OCD
Hope you all have a great Friday!

Back from holiday but still not back to normal, so I am hoping normal service will resume from tomorrow and I will get a chance to catch up on other people's diaries.
£1 to CC7 - I was still PADding whilst away

Good morning all
It's nice to be back in the land of normality, although I really do miss the sunshine The PADding I did whilst on holiday pushed me below the £6.7k mark, which was great... No NSDs as you would expect but I didn't spend as much away as I had anticipated so that was a bonus.
Today's PAD is £271.13 to various places. I saw the price cap info whilst on holiday and hubby has suggested we sit down and re-visit the house costs/budget which is refreshing as it's usually me who has to raise the subject!
Not much else to report, I'm waiting for the statement for CC7 so I can make that payment... until then it will be small amounts and whatever I can raise on Prolific now I'm back at a desk.

Oh my days, what a week it has been. so I didn't bring the sun back from holiday, I brought Covid and it knocked me for six. Despite being sick, I have been PADding every day and I have also had 4 NSD's which I need to report on the Sept thread. I will try and be back on it from now on though and keep updating each day, bear with me though it's a struggle!
