    I just want to say thank you for renewing my interest in doing surveys. Since the beginning of December I’ve earned over £60 - and I only do a few a day 🙂
    That's amazing, might give it another try, I always lucked out on them

  • When I logged into prolific this morning I had £7 to cash out so that’s also been sent to the credit card

  • Not much to update from the shopping other than we had a lovely day together and even randomly bumped into my sister at the shopping centre.

    I bought some things that I needed such as a replacement mascara but I also picked a new bow tie up for the dog. It wasn’t necessary but it was cute lol.

    Anyway, not too spendy all told. A film now before bed and a glass of wine.

  • Morning, I spent less than I thought yesterday and now only 5 days to pay day so I have sent £23 to CC7 this morning taking me to £4500. 

    No plans for us today, we are just doing chores around the house. It will be a NSD for me as a result.  Tomorrow I am in the office and meeting some colleagues for lunch so a low spend day there. 

    No updates in terms of surveys, I may have a look later but most of the day I will be busy. 
    Have a great day!

    Love a round number! Your PADing is so inspiring. I’m going to be trying to spend on a zero based budget which is frankly terrifying but will also be trying to save money here and there so will try and do this also. It seems like small amounts but they all add up! Have a lovely day 😊 
    Credit Card 1 - £6249.99 £4,900
    Credit Card 2 - £13,481.47 £12,985

    Total debt - £19,731.46 £17,885

    Emergency fund £930

    The small amounts really do add up!  I try to budget £1 a day for padding in my monthly planned spending but then add any extras. At the moment it's close to pay day so I am adding more as I know I have extra in the budget now.
