Good morning everyone, I have spent FAR too much time this morning trying to sort out my signature which seems to have lost the ability to do a carriage return. It's messing with my OCD.
Today's PAD was £1 to CC7 and today will be a NSD for me, number 12 for October which is pretty good. No plans for me until Saturday so I should get a few more in this week to be honest. It's really busy at work and a colleague is off now for the rest of the month so I will be covering their workload so I'll have little time for spending.
Nothing through on Prolific (still) but one of my receipt snapping apps should be yielding £10 over the next few days so that's good. It will be in the form of an Amazon voucher but I will transfer the equivalent cash to CC7 as we do shop on Amazon.
That's about it from me, short and sweet after yesterday's long post haha
Have a great day!

Morning all, this week is passing in the blink of an eye for me, I am assuming this is because I am busy.
£1 PAD send to CC7 this morning, I've also done an early morning Prolific study but not able to cash anything out yet. It's been really quiet on there for me lately compared to my usual flurry of studies haha!
Today will be another NSD for me, so that makes 13 already for October, and I think my target is 15 so I may even hit 20! I'm really trying to reign in the spending this month as I know Nov/Dec will be spendy... I have already started to discuss Christmas or festive gatherings with friends and colleagues and obviously there are presents to buy and cards to post. Stamps will set me back a fair few quid this year!
Off for some breakfast (crumpets) now, catch you all later!

You are on a roll today 😀2

Wow that's a lot of surveys cashed in! I don't blame you for not bothering with Panelbase. I've almost given up, it takes an age to get to £10 to cash out and it's just ridiculous, as I screened out after investing a fair bit of time.
You're doing so well with the credit card, and with your daily £1 PAD, you'll hit the £6,2500 and it's very impressive.Debt Free Diary:- The Mental Debt Struggle

Morning all, just a little update before another busy day at work. I didn't have a good night's sleep last night and I am definitely feeling it today.
PAD today is £1 to CC7, I will not be adding any more today, I exhausted all extras yesterday haha. Today is NSD 14 for October and I'm glad I have nowhere to be because the weather is dreadful!
My new smart meter display started warning that we were over our weekly budget this morning, but after a quick look in the settings it seems the budget is set to £12 a week so I need to amend that later. We are paying over £300 a month so there's definitely more room in the budget than £12 a week
No other updates, I have done a few low paying studies already this morning and should be able to keep an eye out for more throughout the day. We have 7 days to pay day (and sealed pot declaration day) and counting!
Hope you all have a good Thursday!
