    You'll still be a month ahead of me Shell.  Whilst it is possible for me to clear it in April I wouldn't have any spending money for the next 3 months and that's not something I'm prepared to do again.  The £500 I paid today was just half my monthly budgeted payment held back until after the statement had been prepared.  Just PADding and surveys to be added for the rest of the month now until pay day on 27th.

    I'm finding myself counting down the days with you  :D 
  • I'm finding myself counting down the days with you  :D 
    I'm happy to share the joy @RelievedSheff :D

    This lunchtime I have moved my spreadsheet from my macbook 'numbers' to Google drive. This way, I can update it from my phone or my iPad and it will be much more accessible. It's also easier to use than numbers as I use excel a lot at work. I will dual run them for a few days to make sure there are no errors in my formula and then I will switch :)

  • Hi everyone, I hope you're all OK? The sun is shining here in South Yorkshire but it's absolutely freezing.  The dog has climbed back into his bed in the office and shows no inclination to move :D 

    Today's PAD is £5 to CC7 and it's another NSD for me, this evening I am off to the gym and then I have some sorting out to do as we are planning on decorating the spare bedroom this weekend... nothing major, but a wall needs to be repainted and the furniture needs to be moved around.

    I managed a study on Prolific this morning, nothing to cash out yet (£3.87) but I have almost £19 pending.  So I'll be keeping an eye on that today :)  The spreadsheet being on google drive seems to work well, so I'm pleased I moved it over yesterday and that it wasn't a waste of time. 

    Final payment for May 26th is now down to £379, 76% of the £500 it was at when I brought the DFD forwards, I think I'll aim to get this to £250 as a stretched target rather than trying to push for April DFD thanks to the advice of @SusieT

    Hope you all have a great day

    It was a frosty morning in Nottinghamshire as well. Love days like these. Unfortunately I'm stuck in the office this week so won't get to make the most of the sunshine.

    Still really sunny here, the birds are singing quite loudly and now someone is mowing grass, feels very much like spring until you step outside into the cold!

    There were people mowing their lawns where we are over the weekend. We stepped on our lawn and it is still far too wet to consider it.

    We have artificial grass so no mowing needed. There doesn’t seem to have been much rain here to be honest and it’s so sunny, I’ve had to close my blinds so I can see my computer screen.
