Pinching Pennies

One of the dresses I had up on Vinted sold - shipped off and that will net me £8. 

However, had to fill my car up and bought some snacks which set me back £14.60. 

Todays plan is to tidy up a bit, sort my portfolio for when I start uni again & have an early night as I start work at 5:30am tomorrow!

Ouch to the early start.

Well done on the sales.

NSD today - which is a first for me on an early shift as I almost always give in to a costa!! 

MSE:
- refund from clothes I sent back is on its way. 
- took lunch/snacks and a drink to work to prevent me from spending 
- picked up an extra shift in a couple of weeks time
- did a few surveys today, still waiting for pending transactions but what’s there will net me around £13 

Not MSE:

- kitty desperately needs some more litter so will need to pop out on Friday! hoping to get some wood pellets from P@H but not sure whether they’ll be in stock.. 

- one of the payments that I owe (£1200) was for a gaming PC. I bought it with the intention of paying it back when I get my student loan which isn’t the smartest idea I’ve had. Anyway, the PC broke after a few weeks so it’s been in for repairs and I just got it back this afternoon. Spending my evening redownloading all of my games. Fun! 

In other news…

Toddy made it to the MSE blog 🥹

I was laughing as I took a hilarious photo of him the other night during zoomies/playtime before bed. If I could put these two photos together I’d label it “insta vs reality” 🤣

Thank you - ill pass that compliment on to him! Is that your kitty in your profile pic? How cute!! 😍

Toddy had an upset tummy today and we ran out of litter a day early so had to get some more from P@H. They didn’t have the one I saw (wood pellets, 30L for 7.99) so had to get a different one. Opted for some recycled paper pellets which came to £15, and then I had a 20% off voucher to use too 😊 

spent £1.34 at work after my shift buying milk, had a discount voucher and my staff discount too.

£13 has finally cleared through Prolific, so I’ll see if anymore pop up tomorrow and then cash out. 

1 week today until payday! This feels like the longest month ever. 

In other news, I have an interview for a possible supply position starting in September. I’m currently studying to be a teacher and working part time in a shop, so if this interview goes well it would be wonderful for my future career. Unfortunately, I’m not sure if there are guaranteed hours or what the pay is like, so I have a lot to think about. Will tally up a pros and cons list after the interview on Tuesday.

Good luck with the interview. Sounds exciting.

The cat in my profile is the much missed Mr N who was 20 when I lost him 2 years ago.

Slipped a little over the past few days between buying the final touches for our garden, a trip to Costco and yet another trip to the shop..

£18.99 for the shop, £100 in Costco, £100 for the garden. Nothing to panic about as my SO and I will be splitting the costs. I also picked up a couple holiday bits that were in the sale which totalled £48. 

Mums bday tomorrow so will send some money off to her and that will be the last spend until Thursday (aka payday)
