  • Merry Christmas Eve-Eve everyone :) I had a lovely little sleep in this morning and there’s not much to do today so I think I will treat myself to a Christmas film later.

    Today’s PAD was just £1 to CC7, today will be a NSD for me after being a bit spendy yesterday, although dinner last night with my friend was lovely and we both agreed we need to catch up more often!  I also used part of my Amazon voucher to buy the dog a tuxedo bow tie for Christmas Day… he wears a dickie bow all year so it will be nice for him to have a formal one for special occasions :D 

    Today will be another NSD for me. I think the shops may be a little too hectic if I venture out today so I’m staying safely away from retail haha!

    Nothing to be cashed out of Prolific today, I’ve kind of given up on c-cats as the payment values have really plummeted and there was a 16 min survey on there the other day for 0 points! I’ll see if it gets any better in the new year…

    Thats pretty much it from me, have a wonderful day!

    Have you tried Qmee? I've made £20 on there in 2 weeks and I don't do that many a week. You download an app, it's really easy to use.

    I've just got back from Mr T and it was fairly busy but not too bad. I walked straight up to a self-checkout.

  • I haven’t, but I’ll give it a go now, thanks!

    I love them as well, finding them better than CCs lately.

  • I completely forgot that hubby gave me his diesel receipt from yesterday and I had left it on my desk to snap... just been in and I have now snapped it and cashed £10 amazon voucher from Storewards. That's £10 from the bank sent over to CC7 :) 

    I really hope that once my CC is clear I can continue to carry on with this momentum to bolster some savings :D
