It’s a late update for me, the BBQ was great but too many drinks were had and we are both feeling rough today. Already had to go to my nephews birthday party this morning and out at 5 for another birthday meal.Today will not be NSD, I sent my £1 PAD to CC7 this morning.Think that’s all I have the energy for
we will be abstaining from alcohol at tonight’s meal haha

Glad it's not just me that gets hangovers 🤣🤣🤣
Early night and plenty of fluids and you will be fit as a fiddle again tomorrow 😀1 -
Hi everyone, I'm late today but not because I was still hungover, but because I have had a hospital appointment this morning and then was late back to had to log on quickly in time for a meeting and it's been non-stop since.
It's a gorgeous day and we have managed to get a load of washing on the line, which is good because it's set to rain again tomorrow!
It's 1st of the month so 'bills day' and therefore my PAD was huge and my bank account is feeling the effects, but only a few more bills and the rest can be used for holiday as I get paid on the day we fly hometoday isn't a NSD as I had to pay for hospital parking, but I am hoping I can get one in tomorrow.
Think that's about it from me. I've finished the last high paid survey on Prolific but not expecting that to be ready until tomorrow... as usual I will keep my eye on it though.

Gooood morning everyone! I hope you all have better weather than we do in not so sunny South Yorkshire
It's raining so I am glad I got the washing done yesterday.
I made my £1 PAD this morning first thing, but I have just checked my Prolific account and I've been able to cash out £21 so I will be sending that shortly and will update my signature. That's the last of the large payments, back to bits here and there but it's all adding up and I am definitely not complaining!
Today is a NSD for me, the weather is rubbish and I've nowhere I need to be so I am staying in and dry for the day. We have definitely chosen the right day to have sausages with mash and veg for dinner, I do enjoy comfort food.
That's all the updates from me... MBNA keep emailing about having room on my card to transferBut I don't need to as CC7 is interest free until its planned clearance. 27 Sept 2023... can't wait!
Have a good day all

Good morning everyone, I hope you're enjoying a sunshiney day wherever you are!
Things have gotten a little quiet in the land of Determined this week, no real wins or bumps either so I'm not really complaining.
PAD this morning was a collection of small DDs and then £1 to CC (of course!) It all adds up. Today will be another NSD for me, unfortunately I have to visit one of our work offices tomorrow so tomorrow won't be, it's been that long I'm not even sure what to wear!Definitely...not...pyjamas!
Busy weekend ahead with a big birthday celebration to go to so likely to be a spendy weekend too!
