Learning to walk before I run

£9.72 OPed, the beggar is almost back up to £200k

I've got the blues, the blues, blues, blues, the Sunday bloooooos!

*Edit: PayPal is fixed. Made $5 from an AI survey and withdrew £15 odds to my personal spends account. £1,000 trading allowance seemed way more generous back in April, already used c. 80% of that from Prolific and Y Live alone.

The Sunday blues even though it's bank holiday Ed?

That bank holiday deprivation sounds like us - spent yesterday clearing the passage between the cart lodge and the workshop - trailer is loaded, ready for the dump. One of three black sacks of apples (rotting windfalls) in our bin, and one in the Village Hall bin, ready for tomorrow's collection for the incinerator, and a third to feed into our bin, post collection. We have to paint said buildings and fence, hence the clearing. I also identified a pile of clay dreadnought roof tiles that we don't need. I'm going to explore selling them on. Oh - and I fell out of the plum tree and I am covered in grazes and purple bruises. This is what happens when your brain thinks you are 50 years younger than your body knows it is.

Thanks for the heads up re TeeCeeB, have purchased a supermarket card  as usual.  Happy normal Monday here too

I bought DD2 a rather expensive "Miffy" jumper which (while sweet) was a bit of a ripoff at £41 (she's into women's sizes now). Cashback + voucher cashback took it to £35, which is a bit less mad.

Edit: Maybe £33 if retailer cashback clears (for some reason purchases never seem to track if I pay with a gift card, this one has).

Oh silly me!

Well, yesterday was terrible! Workload is now higher than it has ever been (again) and my anxiety went through the roof. This was exacerbated by a couple of quite pushy customers determined to personalise their arguments by directing them at me as an organisational totem I got some work accomplished and stepped back as best I could, it isn't easy. Today is a relaxing anticlimax by contrast but the mental workload remains (accidental double entendre).

Annoyingly, my financial drumroll will need to remain unplayed. Prolific earnings have been going solidly and I bravely topped up my S&S dividend pie by £50 last night to pass the psychologically significant £1,000 mark. Cue the portfolio dropping by a tenner as soon as markets opened! It is stabilising a little, so further funding (and music) will need to wait. Today has been another great day on Prolific, £20 and rising While this has been a little disappointing, I'm starting to feel like my embryonic bleep you pot is starting to take shape.

£7 OPed.
