Thank you, yes I'll pretty much definitely be back here! It'll be nice to have a break. Although this morning I'm feeling like I have to look at ALL THE THINGS before I swear off everything tomorrow 😂😂
Hopefully that will sort itself out when I have 3 hours in the car later!5 -

Right. Happy Wheel done over breakfast and netted £13.75 today, so here's my grand total extra income for April:
£119.34 - Happy Wheel
£25 - premium bonds winnings
£10.08 - cashback
£32.49 - selling books (Ziffit and WeBuyBooks)
£11.89 - Prolific
£1.56 - bank rewards
£10.42 - QMee
= £210.78, which is £7.03 a day
Not too shabby!
Off to tot up the grocery challenge totals...

Ok, declaring grocery spends at
£194.19 + £64.96 vouchers = £259.15
Not too bad, could do better. Roughly £50 of that was booze (!) some for visitors, some for taking to other people's houses etc
Gosh, it's very confronting keeping track of your spending sometimes, isn't it?!
Right. Off to quickly report on the Grocery Challenge thread, and then I need to get my act together to leave - pack, clean the chickens out, find/make a card for friend etc. And then we're off. I might briefly pop back in later, but I might not, so if I don't, have a marvellous May and I'll see you in June!
Thank you all for being here with your own diaries, and for waffling on with me on mine. I do so much love this place
