    My 16 quid from viewsbank arrived as well. So 26 quid extra in earnings and probably 15 in cashback and 65-70 in bank work this month. Sounds good if I list it all :)

    Survey fatigue is a real thing :D  But it's nice when the money comes in!

  • So I used chase for about three weeks. Then I have had this week off cos my account didn't really have enough to move across and I was waiting on survey money etc to tide me through. I've found budgeting this week a lot harder. Not as focused on what I have spent where. So back to chase on Friday I think.
    I was sending food, petrol and activities money to it each Friday with the aim of spending less than I put in and also gaining cashback on what I did spend.

    Thanks jwil. Yes the fivers where earned across a couple of days which is nice to know for end of the month being a bit short. It was time consuming though and a bit boring.ill try and get some.more done as its easy money whilst sat at home I suppose

    Just been swimming.no cost as we pay for lessons via direct debit and  a general swim is included . So free  but not free if you know what I mean. Had a lovely time. Now trying to Syke myself up to do something with the jungle that had appeared in the garden.
