Learning to walk before I run

Ed, are you 100% certain that none of your colleagues are MFWs? You've always been very identifiable with your frankness, and I'm paranoid on your behalf that posting during working hours and saying how much you're making on the side from surveys is directly linked to your lack of contract extension to date 😬

@South_coast - I'm sure that none of my colleagues are MFWs. Anyway, I survey on my breaks and after work, it's very easy to fit 35 hours of actual work time into 5 days! As you know, it's easy enough to make ££ if you are lucky enough to have AI surveys available to you, an hour a day is c. £15.

I update my withdrawn figures in the morning because I withdraw once a day in the morning 🙂

My contract hasn't been renewed yet because it needs to be signed off by a board that doesn't actually meet until after my contract ends! So as far as I can see, I'm just expected to keep turning up and hoping they pay me 😉

OK, fair enough. I seem to be turning into a worrier in my old age!

@South_coast - I'm always glad to have another worrier join me in worrier corner ❤️ More positive news on the work front in that a former colleague tells me they have appointed someone to my old post, they wouldn't be doing that for a month!

I was like death warmed up last night, managed to make pizza for dinner and then struggled to eat it. Eventually managed two slices and was in my bed full of Night Nurse by nine o'clock 😂 9+ hours of sleep helped and I wasn't even too groggy this morning as the NN was out of my system by then.

1. £36.09 to Extension, approaching the £3,000/5% mark 😊
2. £1.55 to Emergency Fund
3. £20.16 from Prolific to SIPP pot (no surveys yet today as I was moving on a substantial work project). I have passed £500, now to see if I can make my £600 stretch goal by financial year end.

Off to see if I have the energy for a quick walk around the neighbourhood. Leftover pizza with garlic prawns ready to go for after 🤤

Blergh. 5 hours sleep and DD2 throwing up from a nasty cough 🤢

Going to struggle to get through today, 3-hour training session, 90 minute meeting, other short meetings. Off tomorrow 🙏

1. £43.50 to Extension
2. £4.29 to Emergency Fund
3. £23.94 withdrawn from Prolific and added to SIPP budget

Can't really see me feeling up to any surveys today, luckily yesterday was a good day on that front.

Onwards and upwards.

That sounds a bit of slog. Thank goodness the weekend is coming up and I hope the training is stimulating …. 😉
