Thank you all 😎
I don't think I've stopped today!
The greenhouse plants have moved to their temporary holiday home of the paddling pool. It's started raining so I expect they're enjoying that.
Mr SA is driving me nuts shouting out random things he thinks I might have forgotten. I've also got to keep an eye on him trying to sneak his scruffy old crocs in his case.
Took the dog on the park, did a final litter pick (although another park volunteer will take over while I'm away). Took the trolley back to Mr T, it had a wonky wheel so it was really hard work as it's a fair distance. Also dropped off the soft plastics recycling. Stopped off on the way back to post DGD's birthday card, pick up Mr SA's prescription and recycle the coffee pods at a local shop.
Did a load of ironing. Cut the grass. Watered and fed the house plants.
Still need to put out the garden waste bin and and recycling bin, steam mop the kitchen floor and do the final bits of packing.
Pre-holiday finances sorted. CC balance cleared. £200 has gone to Nwide regular saver, £150 to YBS Christmas Saver and £250 to Principality regular saver. Another £100 overpayment gone to the mortgage.
Still need to cash out PA surveys.

Total survey etc earnings for June £27.19 cashed out from PA, £3.00 from Amazon Shopper Panel and £8.12 from TCB. Total £38.31. Did quite a few Opinium and YG surveys this month but nowhere near cash out. Did a few PA surveys today so already got £6.30 pending for July.Tonight’s dinner was stir fry to use up bits and bobs that needed to go. Looking forward to not having to cook for a week. Also using up leftover wine from the weekend with my feet up before an early night. Not looking forward to the alarm going off at 3am but we’ll be there well before lunchtime. Looking forward to a short flight at just over 2 hours. Not been to Ibiza since before the pandemic but remember you just about get settled in your seat and it’s time to land.As much as I love Lanzarote and Zante, I think Ibiza is my favourite, there’s something so special about it ❤️I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6
