Not sure I have any tips on making it cheaper, CM - though have amused myself this evening seeing that the one I buy is "composed of refined olive oils and virgin oils" (🤷♀️). So if it's not quite "extra virgin" does that mean it's just had a bit of heavy petting 🤣?Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Did a Prolific survey before I got up a couple of mornings ago where they told me off for using a phone at the beginning, but then still let me click through and complete it (not the usual telling-off before you launch it, this was actually on the first page of the survey itself). Thought I'd give it a go anyway, as I was only laying in bed waiting for my alarm to go off, so had nothing better to do with my time. They've not only paid me the full £5.00, but a £2.50 bonus as well 😀😀😀 Glad I bothered now 🤣!
And £4.42 TopCashBack has gone payable overnight. This is shaping up to be a good morning!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

First of the month round-up….
4x extra £50s this month, coming from bank account cashback, receipt scanning, surveys, TopCashBack, interest, some tilly tidies and another energy rebate (thank you, ZipZero 😀). Used them towards the refurb 🥱
Have been browsing kitchens….
Another good month on the markets, everything up. One of the frozen pensions is showing over £2k of growth in the last 3 months - can't see that trend carrying on much longer in this year of elections, but glad to make hay in the meantime!
10.81 years to go….

Well done on your continuing efforts, these things are dull but they don't half add up! Pretty much every single one of my diary posts is 'admin, comping, tidying- survey if I'm lucky (and am bored stupid by it)'. Don't all rush at once to catch up on it 😂
But the routine efforts mean you can do things like refurbs whilst being debt free and mortgage free, I am so impressed and envious. Serious well done to you.5 -
Awwww, thanks PIP - that means a lot 🥰🥰🥰
Have just done a survey which made me think of KP. Can't think why 🤣!

Whoops, sorry 🤣!
Two more discarded receipts in Lidl today (could have been three, but it was busy and I felt like I was being a bit obvious 🤣) - neither of which used Lidl Plus. I feel like standing over people and making sure they have it!!!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Markets have been insane of late. I have a slow growing SIPP where I thought £70k was an optimistic goal for maybe the next couple of years (was at £6xxxx). It has now passed £73k 🤯2
