    Ooh, I've just cashed out another £6.80 from Prolific so that will be another £5 to CC7 and £1.80 to the sealed pot... Just need it to come through to paypal now over the next few days.

    My cashouts are instant to PayPal from Prolific?  I can just pay to my bank straight away.  I would check it may be there now?

  • Good morning wonderful MSE-ers :)

    I have had a productive day so far and have just stopped for a cuppa.  I haven't received the Prolific payment yet but hopefully will soon, I have made my PAD of £1 to CC7 this morning and today will be a NSD, number 4 for July so far. 

    I have been able to cash out a £10 amazon voucher from Snap My Eats this morning and that's been added to my amazon balance for when I may need to order something. 

    Nothing much else to report really, everything is just ticking along nicely, I'm hoping the statement for CC7 will be generated tomorrow so I can make my regular payment there. 

    Catch you all later

    Morning!!  I'm just catching up on the diaries!

    Great news that your variable rate on the utilities isn't that much more expensive!  Hope the cold gets better soon!!

    Makes sense to move onto the variable rate instead of tying in to something at the moment that isn't worthwhile. 
    Great to hear that things are still ticking along :)

    Well done LMD. Lots of regular small payments really add up don’t they? 42k to 7k isn’t the sort of reduction you can make in one go!  :)

    Absolutely spot on there… I’m looking forward to getting my debt starting with a ‘6’ 🤞🏻

  • Morning peeps and hurrah for Wednesday :) Unexpected rain in the night means that we have soggy seat cushions this morning and we need to dry them out today. 

    Checked CC7 this morning and statement was ready so I have sent £100 as my PAD to cover the regular payment. Today is another NSD for me so #5 for July. I think my next planned spend is lunch with friends on Saturday so it will be great if I can get 2 more by then.

    Current balance on Prolific is annoyingly 5p below cash-out minimum, and another £4.55 pending approval. I am hoping that some more studies drop in for me today.  

    I have sent my claim form off to be reimbursed the £105 so hopefully that should be in my bank in he next 10 days.  There's a delay on my glasses so looks like they will be next week now rather than the end of this week.  At least I have some already and these are just replacements. 

    Hope you all have a lovely day
