  • Wow, I can't keep up with you. I'm so looking forward to being in a position to pay off larger amounts like this, later in the year. For now, I'll just keep plodding on....lol
    It's because I am on the last stretch and I am pretty much throwing my all into getting it gone now.  I have had my fair share of plodding I promise you!

    In other news, I have finally just managed to cash £7 out of Prolific.  So that's been send on to the card.

  • Welcome to Tuesday, at least I think it is, I've had very little sleep and feel all befuddled today.... but here goes with my updates. 

    Today's PAD is £28.25, £5 to CC7 and the rest to the sealed pot for the 1p challenge. It's not a NSD for me as in the small hours I ordered a couple of birthday presents online. It's a very busy few months with birthdays ahead. I saw one and then decided that as I was spending today I may as well get a few more. 

    Checked Prolific this morning but only 30p approved. I haven't actually done a study since 23rd feb which is the longest gap since I started taking part. Hopefully I'll get some today. 

    I listed more items on Vinted last night, and have already sold 2 and I have sent a bundle deal for 3 items to someone who requested it in the night. I have almost £60 in my pending balance so I just need the items to be delivered.  I do wish I had found Vinted when we were packing up to move... :D 

    Anyway, I don't think there's anything else from me today.  I'm off to make coffee before work.
    Have a good day!

  • Morning all and welcome to Weds! I have call from early doors this morning so I have been up a fair old while already. I've tallied the total PADs for Feb and today is DD day so my PAD was a whopper to various places. £5 sent to CC7 though as nothing to cash out on Prolific yet.  

    I did have a lot of studies on Prolific yesterday, although all low paying but it does seem like it's starting to pick up for me. I will be keeping an eye on it today. Also hoping some Vinted items will be delivered today so some funds can be released there.  I still have some more items to list, I just do them a few at a time. 

    Today will be a NSD, I have lots on with work and tonight will be Ironing and watching football - so rock and roll haha!  Never the less a good start to March NSD challenge. 

    57 days to go... last payment projected to be £539 now :)

    I hope you all enjoy your days
