Third time's the charm...

LittleMissDetermined

Good morning you lovely lot. I hope everyone's OK? I woke up naturally this morning which really helps my mood  

Today's going to be a NSD for me. I have sent £11 to CC7 as I was able to cash out another £6 from Prolific this morning. I only have £3 pending now which seems really low compared to the balances I've had over the last few weeks. Must keep an eye out for surveys today...

All the weekend transactions have now cleared the bank rather than sat pending so the banks are all tidy . I ended up filling 2 weekly envelopes yesterday with leftover cash and they have been added to my sealed pot total.  I have 13 days left to pay day, it seems a long way off and I have 2 birthday celebrations before then. I think I need to clock a few more NSDs this month! 

I am in the office tomorrow so that won't be a NSD but should be set for Thursday/Friday and I've not really got any plans for the weekend. 

I do have a list of things I want to sell on Vinted, so I will try and get some done at lunch and others listed after work, we will see what sells and I will also revise my other items and see if I can lower any prices or maybe re-list with different pictures. I'll have a look later.  There's no point things being stored in drawers and on the top shelf of the wardrobe when I can have the cash instead. 

Anyway, there's my musings for the day. I hope everyone is safe and well.
Keep smiling

Later update today, I’m currently on my second train to one of our offices where I’ve never been to before. All very exciting and I’m looking forward to conversing with real people rather than video screens.

Today’s PAD included £8 to CC7 as if received a £3 Vinted payment. It’s not a NSD as I will be lunching with my lovely colleagues 😊

I ended up with a migraine yesterday afternoon so I didn’t manage to get anything listed on Vinted, but I do know what I want to list so that’s a start I guess.

Things are very stressful at the moment for some family members and I am finding myself worrying about it more than I’d like. I know there’s nothing I can do to make the situation better but it plays on my mind. A lot. Maybe that was the cause of the migraine… who knows?

So, the rest of the week should be non-spendy. I don’t yet have any plans for the weekend but that may change depending on the aforementioned stressful situation. We will play it by ear and I will make myself available.

I’m rambling now… sorry about that. I hope you all have lovely Wednesdays

Good morning! It was a long day yesterday and I didn't get home until almost 7. Not used to the commute anymore so it was a shock to the system haha.  I was also up early this morning with the dog, there's definitely a difference to how I feel when I have woken up naturally. 

It will be a NSD for me today and I have sent £5 to the credit card as my PAD. I will try and get some more surveys today as I will be at my desk, will see what becomes available. I don't start work until 9am today so I will be listing more items on Vinted before I log on. I don't expect them to sell quickly as they are high value items, but I am happy to wait for the right buyer. 

Nothing else to report, hubby has found us a holiday for November and whilst it's long haul and more than we would usually pay, it includes a safari on a nature reserve which we have dreamed of doing for years. He's going to see if he can book the time off today so that we can put the deposit down on pay day. It will give us something to look forward to, and will be a reward for paying off my debts.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

The holiday sounds good. Will be something to look forward too.

Thats sounds a good idea LMD, you will definitely deserve a holiday after paying off your debts and as you say a treat, especially as it will come from savings and given the DFD fast approaching you will have a while to do that before the balance becomes available.

The holiday sounds great and something to look forward to after all your hard work.

Good morning all and happy St Patrick's today for those of us with Irish descent. Happy Friday to those without  

Today will be a NSD for me, I am very busy at work with 3 projects and it's getting a bit crazy.  There don't seem to be enough hours in the workday lately. I have sent £5 PAD to CC7 and there are now just 41 days to go before I am finally debt free.  

I listed most of the items on Vinted yesterday before I had to start work but I have more which need to be listed, I will try and get these on over the weekend. 

Hubby and I have both requested leave for the holiday in November, his has been approved by my manager has been off this week so I won't find out until Monday, looks like we can puchase e-vouchers to pay for it too via works shopping portal and get some cashback so that would be good!

Nothing to cash out on Prolific this morning, I have some receipts from the weekend that I need to snap today as it's the last day to do it. 

Have a great day!

Morning all. Not a NSD for me as I am going into town to pick up a few bits and have a coffee with my sister.

My PAD was £5 to CC7 and there’s nothing to report in terms of Vinted sales or surveys I’m afraid. I have a few more items to list later this afternoon.

40 days and counting now, and that final projected payment is down to just £359 which is fantastic 😊

I have already prepared tonight’s dinner which is slow cooker bolognese so only pasta and garlic bread to cook when hubby finishes work. Bloody love my slow cooker! 

Anyway, off to town I go. 

Have a lovely day all
