    Last day today, hurrah!  I'm on a mission to get the urgent stuff done early so I can have a more relaxing afternoon and catch up on some not so urgent stuff and prep what I need to be working on when I come back.

    I measured my waist this morning and I've lost another inch this month.  Given that my weight isn't really moving that's definitely good and shows that  my new regime is at least doing something.

    Payday tomorrow.  Can't wait for that.  I've been really spendy again this month.  I've got lots of pots that need refilling.

    Another item sold, so that's ready to post.

    Have a good day everyone :)

    And now I'm on leave, hurrah!  I left work with only 6 emails in my inbox, and all of them were information/reminders rather than things I have to deal with.  I'm very pleased!  I can chill now.

    I've had a super day on PA.  I've done several (very long) but well-paying surveys over lunchtime and this evening.  I cashed out £9 this morning, have another £4.50 approved since, and now have £23 pending!  That will be some nice PADs when they are all approved!  I need to get off the computer though now, because of the lunchtime surveys, I've pretty much been on a screen since about 6am this morning.  Slightly drained and square eyed now!

    DH has sold another item.  It's nice to see it trickling out :)

    I started watching the Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix last night.  Looks good so far.  I still 😍  Matthew McConaughey in the film though.
