Morning everyone, it's been a strange morning already, I was wide awake at 4am and then just as I was feeling sleepy at 7 the dog wanted to get up. Hubby is away so it's all on me at the moment too. Anyway, I am back in bed watching TV now and I may have a nap as I am out tonight and don't want to be flagging or falling asleep in my drink!
I did make the most of my awake time and did some surveys, cashed £1 out from curious cat and sent that to CC7 with my usual £1. Today will be a spendy day but I've saved for it so I'm prepared. It's only 5 days to pay day now so we are on the home stretch
On pay day eve I will do a bit of a tot up and work out how much extra I've thrown at the card this month, it feels like it's been a good month for overpayments from surveys and cashback.
Off now to try and work out whether sleep or hunger will win the current battle in my body haha

Know how you feel with the lack of sleep, I had a bad night coughing & blowing my nose...lol
Love Curious Cats being able to cash out at £1, but some of them are soooo long & boring and get screened out of quite a lot.

Well, hunger won the little battle so keep your fingers crossed for me later.Did some more surveys whilst having a brew and managed another £1 cash out so I’m sending that to CC7.

Oh my goodness, I had a great night last night, but I don't recall getting home and I am very much hungover today. It was also very spendy which was to be expected and I had planned in.
This will therefore be a very quick update, I have sent £1 to CC7 and today is not a NSD as I picked up a packet of recovery ready salted crisps to increase my salt levels.
Not much else to report, 4 days left to pay day and SPC declaration day

Well I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, you are obviously a lot younger than me LOL Think a night out where I couldn't remember getting home would be my idea of hell TBH, even going out in the evenings is not my idea of fun any more. But seriously, I am glad you had a good time. Take care. x Making the debt go down and savings go up

Sounds like a cracking night.
I clearly didn't enjoy myself enough. Remember getting back to the van and playing board games when we got back 🤣🤣🤣3
