    Valued Opinions is so annoying. Spent the last 15 minutes filling in a survey then they opt me out!

    Same on Opinion Outpost. I'm only 15 points away from a cash out on this one. When I cash out I think I will just deactivate my account, it's too time consuming for nothing.

    Almost the end of our holiday year in work so I've taken a couple of days off. Quite enjoying the free time though with 2 jobs and 2 dogs even then I don't get much of that. 

    Good news work wise is that we've been offered some OT which we never ever get so I am going to work 4 hours on Saturday at time and a half and 12 hours on Sunday at double time! Whatever extra I get will do towards the SBCC (Sainsburys) which I use way too much if I'm being honest. 

    My plan is by the end of the year to get that balance down to zero and stop relying on that to get through the month. 

    Once I have an emergency fund I'll get rid of that card completely but it's like my comfort blanket right now.

    Co Op pet insurance has updated today to say they are processing my claim so that will be around £310 coming back to me. I'll pay that straight to the SBCC when it comes in.

    My RBS switch is going through on 29th March so hopefully get the £200 for that in April!

    So since I last properly posted I've been busy busy. Got offered some OT in work and we never ever get that so jumped at it. 

    Worked Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sunday was a long one but 12hrs at double time will do me nicely!

    Got some more this week but after that it's all done for so anything extra I get in will help with paying off some of the debt I'm in.
