That's a nice little extra lump isn't it, and all sounding very positive on the income front going forwards as well!

Lovely to have extra money coming in and glad to see you are so focused !

Fab news on the bonus money! 

Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you.

I finally feel like I am getting somewhere with earnings. I'm now officially earning the most I've ever earned in my working life.  I'd love to know what I would be earning if I hadn't made so many mistakes along the way. No looking back allowed though, unless it's to remind me of the lessons!

Payday was yesterday. Money shuffled. Pots looking healthy.

I ended the month with £7 odds in my purse. Amazing what I can not spend when I'm trying. I think I'll just take that out now and put it away for a rainy day.

Payday PAD = £100
1st Feb PAD = £6

Hindsight is a great thing but exactly that ~~ hindsight. 

We do the best we can at the time. 

Great start to the month 😊

Indeed.  It's good if we learn from our mistakes.  Sometimes I have to make them more than once, you know, just to be sure they are definitely mistakes 🙄

This being Friday, the fifth Friday in 2024, I had a spin of the random number generator. The first number that came out was 43 but I've had that before (doubling up so soon?) so I spun again and got 29.  Moved £14.50 over to the Random Pick Fridays account. I'm actually really enjoying doing this "challenge". I can't wait to see what number comes out each week.

I opened a W3alth1fy account on 30th January last year using the MSE link for the £50 bonus offer.  I thought it would credit my account just after 30th this year. It didn't. I have chased it up.  It should be paid within 30 days. They're going to make me wait the full 30 days, aren't they?

Just a wee £1 PAD to the buy out fund.

What meanies.
What makes me cross is if you had not chased it up you probably would not have got it at all.
Bah.

Have a good weekend

I have to be fair and say I just checked back the terms and conditions (by searching here, I can't find them in my W account or correspondence) and it does actually say that payment is within 30 days after 12 months of investment so I was just too keen.

Have a good weekend too 🙂

Great use of your back pay and nice you will keep more of your earnings in future months too. Best of luck for the increment.

I don't blame you for chasing that up - it's like my FD reg saver which I was way too impatient to get the maturity on - I'll know how that one works for the future though!

I did a bit of searching here before I chased it as people seemed to be getting it right away, or even early. Probably should have looked for the T&Cs first.
