    SA - just a gentle finger wag but if you are currently as it sounds fighting off some sort of virus, take a few days off the exercise to give your body a fighting chance of the best recovery! 

    Eek - you've reminded me I need to do the start of month Pr1nc1pal1ty transfers!

    Who are you, my Nan? She used TCP for everything - the smell takes me back to all the time I spent with her 💕
    😁 She was right @Baileys_Babe, TCP does sort most stuff out

    Cashed out £16.12 from PA. Have been a bit slow with surveys just lately as I seem to have lost my mojo with them. Has anyone else had to verify their ID with PA? They won’t let me take any more surveys without submitting my passport details and taking a selfie. 

    The builder is coming tomorrow to look at the work I want doing. 

    I feel almost back to normal tonight so I’m planning to head into the office tomorrow for a couple of hours or so. I could do with doing the Lidl! shop tomorrow as I’m out for lunch with work friends on Friday and don’t want to spoil a lovely lunch by having to food shop on the way home. We’re going to The Ivy, really looking forward to it. 

    I ended up roasting an aubergine, courgette, red pepper, butternut squash and pink onion for tonight’s dinner and adding to a tin of chopped tomatoes, chickpeas and some random herbs and spices. It made 3 good portions so had one with 2 veggie sausages and the other 2 will do for lunches. 
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    I got an email from PA today saying to be careful of phishing scams on the platform - "We have recently seen a rise in "phishing" attempts whereby someone pretends to be a trusted organisation and runs studies to try to gather personal or sensitive information from participants, such as copies of IDs, phone numbers and personal email addresses."

    So maybe double check that it's legit!
