Good morning all and happy Monday - not in the house of LMD though, a sickness bug has descended and we are poorly. Better this week though than 2 days before my holiday next Monday. It's a shame as I had a really good weekend up until yesterday lunchtime when the queasiness started.
Finance wise, it's not been overly spendy this weekend. I did spend on Saturday as I was out at a birthday event but that was planned. Yesterday was a bonus NSD due to being unwell and today will also be a NSD.
I'm hoping I can get some more PA surveys in over the next few days. I only have £4.30 pending approval so that won't be available unless I add more. Been adding to the sealed pot and EF over the weekend and we have had a few small bill DD's go out this morning.
That's all folks. Not at gym today due to being ill.

Ahh sorry to hear you're both not feeling well, and I wish you a speedy recovery. And yes, it's better now than just before you travel. Rest up as much as you can and take it easy. xxDebt Free Diary:- The Mental Debt Struggle

Morning everyone, we are feeling much better today so the bug was short lived thank goodness. I'm still feeling the after effects, tired and a bit groggy... so much so that I accidentally sent £33 to the EF this morning instead of £3. Good job there's a decent amount in the accounts
2 more events to go before pay day, I actually get pad on 25th this month due to how the dates fall which is good. Holiday on 23rd... I need to start thinking about a packing list now and ironing what I'm taking. I'm definitely ready for a holiday in the sunshine.
I didn't push my luck and go for a work out this morning, but I will be back to the gym tomorrow.
Finance wise, it will be a NSD for me today and so far I have £7.50 waiting approval on Prolific, will see if I can have another good day there - fingers crossed!
