Getting FIREd up 😀

Just also thought that this may change again when we get to the new tax year, as I can pay new money into an ISA again then, so building up savings to pay the cards off with (and earn interest on in the meantime) will be more of an option again. Will see how I feel at the time 🤔!

£5 just paid off from receipt scanning! This is fun 😀!

That was a lot of extra £50s.

I know, crazy right 🤷‍♀️? I'd love to say it was all my own hard work, but 20 of them were the Govt bonus on the LISA, and there was a lot of interest (of course, I suppose it is my hard work in stashing the money away in in the first place, but I never feel as though I've earned it in the same way as with surveys etc when it arrives!)

Glad to see the focus paying off. One of the things I am almost looking forward to when I finally get a mortgage is the little OPs and feeling like I am winning when I find a TT

Is anyone else taking part in the Our Future Health project? I'm just back from my appointment - slightly perturbed that I weigh about 4lbs more than I thought I did (not been on the scales for a few months 😅), but other than that quite fun and I have my £10 voucher already 😀

Went on an away-day to Morrisons as they had good offers on some things I wanted (one out of stock, sadly - but it was a great price).

Forgot to say, the Morrisons offer has ended, so instead I tracked it down online for less than their offer had been and free delivery 😀😀😀

Feel like I'm on a roll at the moment!

Oh I tried to take part in that and the guy didn't manage to take blood from me. The attempt was made, but turns out you only get your £10 voucher if they actually get blood, rather than for the effort of turning up and being stabbed in the arm in the first place

Oh, what a b*mmer! You should at least have got half the money for turning up and doing the rest of it! No such issue for me, fortunately. I have "good veins" apparently (which I guess just means quite visible 🤷‍♀️?)
