  • Well, it's a busy day for me work-wise, with an early start and then back to back meetings for most of the day. I will definitely be looking forward to 5pm! 

    £6 has been sent to the CC for my PAD today and it's hubby's pay day so I need to do the joint account budget today, we have the home and car insurances so I also need to get those sorted and decide who we are going to use.

    Today will be a NSD for me again, no plans for this evening except to tackle ironing mountain and find some things to list on Vinted. I'm still snuffly and sneezy, not sleeping well so on top of all the work I feel like poop.  I guess it's just going to be one of those days! 

    Hope you all have better days than mine is looking to be

  • Just cashed out £11 from Prolific so I’ve sent that straight to the credit card. Accounts are getting low so I wanted to move it from temptation 😂

    Haha yes, I’m trying not to think about it too much. But can’t help thinking that this time next week it will be gone. 🫣

  • Good morning and happy Friday everyone. It's looking a bit grey here this morning and I've already been out with the dog to try and get ahead of the rain. 

    Today is a steadier day at work, I have time to breathe (eat and drink, nip to the loo) between calls so that is a relief after yesterday! I have to do the grocery shopping tonight, but that doesn't get counted for my spends as it's an essential so it should still be a NSD today.  Tomorrow and Sunday are both spendy days though as I have plans. 

    My PAD has been sent to the credit card, £8 today which takes me below the £100 mark.  I am still waiting for £10 to be approved on Prolific and I am hoping I can get to do some more surveys today if any become available. 

    Hope you all have Fab Fridays
