I'm treating myself to a couple of hours back by having groceries delivered this week. We're fairly well stocked already, so it's below £100, even with various nice products and snacks. Delivery was only £1, which seems pretty good for 2 day's notice 👍🏻 Used my Sainsbury's credit card for a few extra Nectar points.
Managed to knock half off the price of screen protectors for my new phone by tweaking big river search terms a little.
Saw an intriguing writing critique AI study for a very generous $30/hr but decided to leave it. I've already done an hour's overtime and tomorrow is my office day, so will be up early. Anyway, managed £25 from Prolific today, sometimes I need to leave something on the table.

I like the idea of seeing the delivery as a treat. I’m suspecting the shops will be rammed this weekend …
Any nice plans for the weekend?
