Learning to walk before I run

Daytime vomiting 😱 Can we tell ourselves she had food poisoning, or is that being too generous???

Norovirus! - trust me, it has no respect for the time of day. Apparently, just when they thought it was over, a second strain is now prevalent in the north, and a-coming this way south

Good shout @Suffolk_lass - my charitable explanation had been car sickness

No financial news for the day but I have absolutely bust my hump tidying!

Spent IRO 3 hours tidying (gutting DD2's room, moving the bed out from the wall and getting all the manky crap from under it, sorting out toys to chuck or donate, hoovering and cleaning wooden floors). I also hoovered and cleaned all the other wooden floors, mopped the kitchen and took out recycling.

Now reverse searing a nice Lidl joint of grass fed beef which we'll have with roasties, rainbow chard, green beans, and gravy

Edit: After some post-February virement, I've OPed £139.11. c. £700 of servitude I'll not have to do in future

very impressive Feb round up

Thanks @LadyWithAPlan

Some unexpected evening surveys showed up - $16.67 to start my March total

I'm a big fan of avoiding future servitude. c£700 sounds good to me for a modest OP.

Astonished by your survey totals for February. I keep telling myself that this reflects that men are the great untapped area for market research, and not retired women; especially this one who is trying not to spend anything some weeks!

@Suffolk_lass - 90% of the earnings were from tasks as opposed to demographics. AI stuff that I've been patiently toiling at on and off for a few? Years now 

I suspect most of AI is built on the backs of recent university graduates and middle aged professionals who correct their more florid writing

Ed, you are not middle aged!

@South_coast- I wouldn't be miserable if I lived to 84

Accidentally went into an unarranged overdraft this morning because I get paid tomorrow (silly Ed). One minute fix to send my £1500 Chase balance back the way.

£4.84 OPed and made 90p on a study, it's early days.

DD1 not well (nausea (luckily not vomiting) and slept very badly), taking a day off. I'm zonked as well as I was up with her at 02:00 giving her a hug and a big bowl. Will try and move forward a few cases at work, probably not going to be a legendarily productive one.

*Edit: Contacted a roofer who replaced our gutters a few years ago. We have a minimal amount of storm damage that still needs resolved as the roof is pretty vital
