Getting FIREd up 😀

As much as I can't wait to be early-retired, I do still have to work in the meantime, and this takes up a lot of my time and headspace and I need to respect that. If evenings mean throwing some leftovers in the microwave, doing a couple of surveys and then falling asleep in front of the telly, then that's fine. 

Re-posting this as a reminder to myself, as I am so exhausted at the moment - not even managing the surveys 🙁!

Can I ask a shop and scan question. I find their website so un user friendly. 

Do you get more points the more receipts you scan and upload as im not so I don’t see Theo isn’t of taking the time to scan it all if I get the same each week??

No, you just get a flat 50p per week for receipts and £1.10 for scanning, regardless of how many you do 👍

Phew, glad I'm not the only one 😅! I enjoy the money coming in, just too tired to make the effort!

Which is all being rapidly eroded by inflation - anyone else fancy asking them to up their rates?!

🤣

In other news, I have had a breakthrough on my will, and my £50k shortfall is now a £5k one 😀! I may actually put pen to paper now!

(It's amazing what your subconscious mind will work out for you during rolling out pizza dough and following consuming vodka 🤣!)

So, this week's money-saving/making actions were:
* £5.59 received from Prolific
* £4.75 received in interest
* £10.00 received from Panelbase
* £2.00 cashed-in from Lidl Plus
* £5.00 cashed-in Nectar points 
* Used a 3x Nectar points on fuel voucher which had been left behind on the self-checkout - don't fall for their "exclusively for you" rubbish 😀! I'm now onto target 3 on the Count up to Christmas challenge (hence using so many points at the moment - they're awarding me points for earning points)

Not too shabby 👍!

I also managed to get all my grocery shopping from just two shops (would always have been two shops, as I needed something that Lidl don't sell). Not all my grocery shopping, of course, but all the things I'd marked as "definitely needed this week". The ones which weren't urgent are already rolled onto next week's list, but I'm taking being able to buy what I actually needed as a win 🤣!

I HAVE COMPLETED EVERYTHING ON MY TO-DO LIST 🥳🥳🥳!!!
