  • Hope the weather improves for you. Its wet here as well. Hope you get to cash out on Prolific soon. Its so frustrating isn't it? I have almost £5 in my balance but about £12 waiting to be approved. I'll log in later to see if much comes up, but its Saturday so not holding my breath. Take care

  • Hi everyone, busy day for me and we had a late night last night so we were also up late this morning... feel like I'm very behind!  Not a NSD for me today as I needed to pop to B&M for some halloween treats for tomorrow evening's trick or treaters. 

    PAD made of £1 to CC7 and 41p in change added to the new sealed pot. That's pretty much it from me. I have made a start on getting organised for Christmas and I ordered a few presents yesterday too. I love Christmas, it's my favourite time of the year.

    Have a lovely Sunday all

    Morning all! Happy Halloween :) 

    Budget and spreadsheet done this morning, the PAD was £21.99 to various places as I had a couple of small DDs, plus my usual £1 to CC7.  Today will be a NSD, the last of the month (21 in October!) 

    I have done a couple of Prolific surveys this morning and I've noticed a few video ones on there that nobody seems willing to do :D   I keep contemplating it but I have my working from home scruffs and top-knot today haha. My payable is just under £5 and I have £11 pending...will be keeping an eye on it today and will cash out when I can.

    I've had emails from Credit Karma and Clearscore about the First Direct bank account search.  I am hoping the details arrive in the post soon so I can start moving money to where it needs to be.  As I mentioned, I'm not really concerned about my credit score. When I opened Monzo last Feb, it only dipped a bit and remained in the excellent category, plus, I don't intend on applying for any credit soon. 

    Not much else to report, I have another hospital appointment at the end of this week for the results of my latest scan. I know I am worried about it as I am not sleeping again. This will be a very trying (and probably long) week, I apologise in advance for repeated info and any missed replies. 

    Off to make a pre-work brew. I hope you all have a good day :)

    Hope all is ok with your scan; I know easier said than done but try not to worry.

  • Thanks Shell, I'm trying to keep myself busy but as soon as I try to sleep I start fretting.  

    Anyway, back with a lunchtime cashout from curious cats of £1 which I am sending to CC7.

    Not long now until you are below £6k. The surveys are really paying off :)

    Fingers crossed for you for good news about your scan.

    Prolific has been brilliant, curious cats is low paying but I just do them when I’m eating my lunch so it’s easy really

    Nothing worse than waiting for results, hopefully this week will fly by and you’ll get some good news to put your mind at rest 🤞
