  • 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!

    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.

    Haha Keedie, you almost gave me a coronary after adding an extra zero to my debt :D:D:D

    Thanks though guys, it's been a good day today!

  • 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 :D 

    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!
