Morning all, it's pay day eve and I am awake early to check my payslip and plan my budget. That's all done, I've sent £7 to CC7 for today's PAD and it will be another NSD today.
I have a little bit left in each of my accounts which I will send to the sabbatical fund tomorrow once my pay hits but it's staying in the account for now in case any emergencies arise today (none are expected)
I had a good day on Prolific yesterday and despite cashing out I have £12+ left in there. Hopefully there'll be some studies again today that I can catch to keep that funded. Honestly, @shell16 I can't tell you how grateful I am that you introduced me to this again
I've already used this to wipe £336 off my debt - since 29th June!
That's pretty much from me, more batch cooking on the cards today with a chilli going in the slow cooker later this morning. Over the last 2 days I've already added 7 two-person meals to the freezer so I feel like I'm still saving my future-self money!
Have a good Wednesday!

Managed to get a £6 cash out from Prolific so I have sent that over to CC7. I have also signed up to a couple of mystery shop companies and I have my first assignment! (shhhhhh!)
It's not a big paying one, but it will be good to ease me into the process.

Is it safe having to give bank details? Looking at Tern. Have you actually had any work with them & been paid ok?Making the debt go down and savings go up

From the reviews they are a reputable company. The only thing they can do with my bank details is pay money in or set up a direct debit, which I would get a notification for and they are protected.Makingabobor2 said:Is it safe having to give bank details?

Ooh good luck. Think I'll sign up. I did do mystery shopping several years ago. Can't remember the company, but it wasn't a very good one.Making the debt go down and savings go up

Morning all, I have been awake since 6am as it's pay day and I have sorted the budget and decided that due to the overpayments on CC7 last month. it's safe to pay the usual amount now and then use my PADs for the minimum payment (£61) throughout the month. So I have been colouring in my charts this morning

Today's PAD was £1302 to various places, and even though it's pay day, it should be a NSD but I will declare later just in case. It's a bit early just yet.
My sealed pot declaration is £2611.08 but there are some reasons for the high amount. It includes almost £700 of penny challenge money and there's also a lot of Christmas and birthday money in there because I didn't know what I wanted. I'm off to post this info, including the reasons on the SPC thread.
Hope you all have a great day!

Wow that's a very impressive amount, well done! I hope you're going to treat yourself with the birthday/Christmas money at some stage. Happy payday, I still have to wait until Monday 🙁I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2
