    Damn, I've just remembered something I need to buy before payday 🤦‍♀️ Will be about £2.00-£2.50, so have just done a 40p survey on Qmee to get me started earning it. Desperate times!

    Cleared 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️!!! In 5 years, 1 month and 29 days
    Total amount repaid: £72,307.03. £1.10 repaid for every £1.00 borrowed

    Finally earning interest instead of paying it!!!

    Don't hate me when it's driving you insane though - there's a reason I gave it up!!!

    Sorry to carry on the petrol talk but I was going to fill up Friday when I got paid but decided to wait till Sunday - the price went up by 3p a litre in 2 days 😳  Not quite at the £2 mark but getting close.

    I managed to get my purchasing done for £1.00, so in order to achieve mission-stay-within-my-means I need to earn 60p by the end of the day. Qmee my only option, as they are instant payments with no minimum amount. Currently no surveys available 🤦‍♀️!

    Thanks Vix, I hear what you're saying, and if it was more than 60p I probably would throw in the towel, but surely I can manage that in a day!!! I'm not actually saving for FIRE or the refurb at the moment 😳 (more on that another day), but something much more important, which is why I've upped the ante recently. Plus, this situation is entirely my own doing by transferring my last £2.99 to the ISA 5 days before payday, and I need to feel the consequences of that!

    P.S. On 22p so far 😀
