Third time's the charm...

That’s the sort of thing that would please me too LMD. It’s the little wins that add up over time. Guess it’s all about the mindset to look out for the best value deals, especially these days.

Good morning all, it's gonna be another hot one! I am off work today and we are heading to the cinema at lunch time, so it won't be a NSD for me.  I bought the cinema tickets so hubby will be treating us to lunch out before we watch the film. 

I will be getting my new glasses later this afternoon too so it's a busy day. But a good one  I also need to go and do the grocery shop. 

I have made my £1 PAD to CC7 this morning, not going to be able to over pay by much this month due to other commitments, but I am happy that I am still on track to clear it before any interest kicks in - that's the point of the 0% isn't it?

Had a productive day in the garden yesterday, just need to get the path jet washed as I was having difficulty with the hose so once hubby has looked at that for me, I will probably get that finished this evening as it's quite good fun! 

Hope you all have a good Monday - try to keep cool!

Completely agree! I also recently switched to own brand mature cheddar instead of the branded... £2 saving per pack there too!

We use President butter which so far has not gone up massively in price. We use the block butter at home and the spreadable on the van. It is really nice, we discovered it when we went to France and have used it ever since.

I remember having that one in France RS and it is rather nice.

Trip to cinema wasn't costly, £10 for snacks and the tip at lunch, which hubby paid for.  I've received payment for the latest Vinted sale which arrived this morning with the buyer, so I have arranged to send that to the bank and it can be added to the EF for now. 

I have my new glasses and sunglasses, they're just perfect Aaaaand I've just finished a shower after jet washing the garden paths - it just goes everywhere! It looks so much better though, it was strangely satisfying seeing the slabs change colour.

Hubby is cooking burgers tonight which we will eat outside whilst watching the footy, we have a telly set up next to the bar over the hot tub, our garden is 'the place to be' this summer haha!

Hope you have a good evening. I'm enjoying the last of my days off before it's work in the morning

Anchor butter and President butter? Crikey, there are some posh posters on here 
I usually pick whatever is on offer although not supposed to have too much due to high cholesterol.
Hot tub sounds lovely LMD. We have to make do with a big paddling pool which was very nice tonight, along with a can of beer (classy eh!)
Enjoy the football. Nice to see our ladies in with a decent chance.

Haha @AntoMac! No more anchor for me, I’d rather spend the money on beer and wine.  We will have a few drinks in the garden and hopefully will get a good result! Pretty hot to be playing 90mins of footy, just hope they do well.

Don't expect that will last though!

Good morning folks, I am not sure where the sunshine has gone, but even though it's cloudy here it's still exceptionally warm. Not much breeze but I should still be able to get some washing on the line. I am tired today, it's been hard to sleep as we have had to have all of the windows open and I hear every sound. Also, it's just been crazy-warm...  

£1 PAD sent to CC7 and Vinted payment had landed this morning (quick!) so I sent that to the EF.  Today will be NSD #9 of July so I am half way to my target already.  Should get a few more in this week too to be honest. Not received my cashback for the glasses yet from the health cash back plan, so not really much in the accounts to spend.  

Still waiting for the last Prolific cash out to hit Paypal, so if that lands today I will make an additional payment. I was really tempted to pay the Vinted money to CC7 but I know that might leave things tight at the end of the month so it's better off in the EF for now.

Think that's all from me... I'm off to spend the rest of the day convinced that it's Monday

Well, there have been a fair few studies on Prolific today so I'm hopeful that continues!  I've also noticed that my cash out now has updated to 'instant' so there should be no more delays in it going to PayPal, was probably just an initial 2 week period as I'd only just started doing the surveys even though my account was years old.
