Well I was offered the "animas" survey twice more today, but politely declined....
....but they truly surpassed themselves for randomness, when at the end of a survey about passing down heirlooms to the next generation, they suddenly asked whether I drink London Dry Gin. Is gin an heirloom now 🤷♀️🤔?Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Thank you! No bonkers surveys today, fortunately - and I finally got 10/10 on the NewVista Friday fun quiz, so I might have won 50 points (50p) there 😀Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Wooooo, my LISA bonus has (finally) landed - Future Me is £1000 better off 😀😀😀😀😀
(It's also now earning me a tasty £50/month in interest - that's a few of my extra £50's taken care of. Very disappointing it's paid annually and I don't get the monthly fun though!)Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I have decided to start stoozing! A mention from CCW007 got me thinking, and as with most things financial, I've given it no thinking time whatsoever and just jumped right into it 😳!
So, two new 0% purchases cards applied for today to get me started (I figured I'd go for two at once, so the hard search for the first doesn't show up when I apply for the second). All the spending from those can then sit earning me 3.2% if I keep it in instant access, or a bit more if I decide to tie it up in a fixed-term account. Only problem now is spending enough to make it worthwhile!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
