Morning! I've not much in the way of an update today, yesterday I spent but today should be a NSD for me.My PAD was £5 to CC7 and aside from £12 in Prolific that seems to be the norm now until pay day.
It's snowing quite a lot here this morning and it's settled. I am not hopeful for my road trip to North Yorkshire tomorrow in my little car. I can only hope that it starts to turn to rain overnight. The accommodation has been paid for now so we can't cancel without losing our money. I will keep thinking positive thoughts!
That's me for today anyway, 49 days and counting!

We are thinking that our trip to Lincoln tomorrow evening and for the weekend might be out of the question with the weather now which is will be shame. We were looking forward to catching up with friends.
Luckily we were taking our own accommodation (and our friends were) and we would have been in a car park so no costs lost.
We need to take a view on it tomorrow morning so we can cancel the restaurant if needs be.
Still snowing here. Its quite light at the minute but we keep getting heavier spells. Lots of people have not made it into work today, the usual suspects being the ones with the least distance to travel!3 -
Same here LMD. Its settled quickly and although its not as heavy at the minute its not stopped at all. Its a shame you may need to cancel though.

EAntoMac said:It was bitterly cold in Huddersfield LMD, despite 3 layers, a big coat and two pairs of socks. Talk about chilled to the bone
. Still an enjoyable trip though, even with getting home at 2.30am on a school night with a 7.30 alarm today. I just love seeing other places and how different the houses and buildings are, not to mention the accents
Now you go ahead and enjoy your planned celebrations. With your now engrained habit of planning ahead you’ve got it all covered. I’m sure in the old days you would have just spent a fortune and buried your head in the sand.
As for your sister, don’t underestimate the value of giving her your time and a sympathetic ear until such time as you feel you might be able to help her a bit financially.

Well. I’m up early to set off to North Yorks but the weather apparently has other ideas. Cars do seem to be leaving our estate so I’m hoping we will be ok but OH is pacing and fretting.
I think we will be ok, especially as traffic starts to get heavier and clear the roads.
Aaaanyway. £5 to the credit card as my PAD this morning. Nothing else is available.
hope you’re all safe and warm x

Morning! We made it yesterday morning and everything went to plan for travel. The sun is shining this morning too.
I had a great day yesterday and I’m hoping that continues for the rest of the weekend. Quite spendy, but planned as you know.
PAD was £5 to CC7 this morning and it’s not going to be a NSD but I don’t care about that this weekend
Have a lovely Saturday!

Last day away today as we are heading home this afternoon. Not a NSD again but I’ve had a wonderful time so far.
Paid a PAD of £5 to the credit card, that’s all as there’s nothing to cash out of anywhere and I have had no more Vinted sales.
Hope you all have a great Sunday

Morning all, I am late today as it's taken a while to balance my spreadsheet haha. I'm still in good stead for the rest of the month despite a very spendy weekend.
I managed to cash out £9 from Prolific and a total PAD of £14 has been sent to CC7. I still have £10 pending, I managed a couple of surveys this morning so that was good. Today will be a NSD for me, my bank account needs some downtime after the weekend haha!
I had contemplated getting laundry on the line buy just as the cycle had finished it started raining so back to the airer. This evening will be quiet (and sober) probably with an early night.
That's all from me this morning, I will try and catch up on diaries later and add some cash to a random envelope.
Busy day!
