    Day 6.

    Morning Everyone.  It's Friday. So a relaxing weekend ahead.

    Today will not be a no spends day.  We have one poorly cat, and a vets appointment this afternoon.
    We have pet insurance which helps a lot. I hope it is good news and can be treated.  I have to realise that at 15 it may be more serious.

    Rest of the day 

    Do free bingo games

    Pay some money off cc

    50p to savings bottle

    Do microsoft questions to earn points


    Food from stocks 

    Have a good Friday everyone

    @Black_Saturn.  Unfortunately our was very ill and so we had to make the decision to have her PTS.  It was the kindest thing to do.

    I have had £1 from GFK surveys.

    Hopefully a no spend day.  

    The weather here is very windy - so I will not be venturing far today .  

    Tidy up the kitchen today .

    Have a good Saturday

    Sorry to read about your cat.  One of mine was PTS a few weeks ago and even though it's the right thing it's very tough.  They definitely leave a gap.
    good luck with your frugal year
