  • 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 :D 

    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. 
    Enjoy your day

  • 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. :D  

    Not much else to report, 4 days left to pay day and SPC declaration day

    You must’ve had a good time if you don’t remember getting home 🤣 Seriously though I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.

  • 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 :D  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

    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 🤣🤣🤣
