  • I could probably easily convince myself that a £37 washing up bowl was an essential purchase. But then that’s why I started out on DFW 😂

    There's no shame in buying expensive things assuming you can afford them, especially if your main hobby is your home and decorating and such. The problems start when you can afford it and you won't compromise on anything.

    Ive been reading that diary again and living my best life.

    Hmmm, not seen that Ed. I've been very slack on Prolific lately, but just checked and they have a survey running asking me to report on my dreams - should probably give that one a miss, knowing what my dreams are like 😮!

    Have they been reading your thread? 🤣
  • Tell them you dream every night of being given a million pounds, just in case they do a follow up survey seeing how people react to dreams becoming reality

    I'm so annoyed I've still not been accepted for PA. I have knackering vivid dreams, I could bore PA instead of my friends and family 😁

    I've just requested 32p from TopCashBack, which leaves with me £0.00 confirmed and £0.00 pending. I don't think I've ever had nothing at all in my account since I first set it up - I'm clearly not shopping enough 🤔!

    I should have signed up, PIP - I've had two dreams about customers last night. One was at least current, but one was from three jobs ago 🤦‍♀️!
