Now for a healthier, wealthier me

Hurrah @KajiKita well done! 

In terms of Prolific they are so varied it's impossible sometimes to understand what it is they could glean from it   I always make sure I do it properly though, I wouldn't want to jeopardise my enrolment especially as many others are still waiting or don't get accepted.  I had one where I had to read statements out loud once, they seemed to go on forever! Can't grumble though, the surveys definitely helped clear my debt.

It’s good to get the insight into how they work, if …… they ever do accept me! 🙄😂

Gooood morning! another sunny day beckons in South Yorkshire and I will be tackling some laundry today, hubby is taking himself off to Manchester for the day as he is off work.  

After work today I am off to the hairdressers. I did my own colour when I got back from holiday (no point before haha) and now it needs a good cut. I used to get my colour at the salon but it just became so expensive and when I had debt I just couldn't justify it. 

So, given I'm off to the salon it won't be a NSD today, I found a new author whilst on holiday, not my usual genre but it was an easy read to get into and then I found I could't put it down.  I ended up getting another on my kindle whilst away but I do like the feel of an actual book so I think I will make the most of a spending day and see if I can find some more on flea-bay second hand.  I also have an Amazon voucher to use so that's an option too.  Any I can't get hold of can go on my Christmas list  

I've sent £7 to the EF this morning with my PAD, which rounded down my Monzo account. All seems to be going well at the moment. The cynic in me thinks it's all too smooth and something will come along to pull the rug from under me soon enough! 

Hope you all enjoy your day!

Perhaps you have worked hard for a long time and have earned a little calm time ….?  😉

Re second hand books, I go to @be books through TCB. You don’t earn much but still useful 😊

I managed to pick some titles up on ebay with free postage but I will have a look at that, thanks

Good morning! A quick update from me today before I have to prep for my first (of many!) call of the day.  Not much to report on today, in contrast to yesterday's waffling.

Finance wise, some DD's and a £5 payment to the EF have made my PAD this morning and today will be a NSD, I am only going to the gym after work and that's already paid for.  Think this is NSD #4 for September.

I've checked Prolific this morning and I only have £3.01 approved so I can't cash out yet.  Today will be mainly meetings so it's unlikely I can get some surveys done, unless they fall when I'm having a break. 

Hope you're all well

Think I need to get back into PADding again. I admire you for keeping it going every day. I do often put things into certain pots or whatever, but have stopped listing it as a PAD....mainly because I am trying to limit the amount of time I spend on line. Also I feel that as we still have debts, my PAD really should be about paying off the debt and not putting it in a savings pot. I am trying to do it all at once, otherwise we will never have anything.....lol

PADding isn't about building savings. It's just payments. So when I had my debts my PADs would be to my credit card.  Feel free to come back and include your debt payments.

Am I right in thinking that your PADs are to your savings accounts ? Can I also ask what the Sabbatical is for? Do you pay into a pension scheme? Just being curious lol.

Morning MSE-ers, we are on countdown to the weekend and I have no calls today (so far) so I am feeling a bit less stressed. Still lots of work to do but having no calls means I don't have to keep clock watching. 

I managed a Prolific cash out this morning of £5.68 so that has been sent to the sealed pot and I have also sent £7 (!) to the EF. Today will be another NSD for me, no spending planned until Saturday when I am out for the day with family. 

It's set to be a very hot day today, so take care in the heat, I already have 2 loads of laundry on the line   Although I will need to give it all a shake as it seems to be spider season now (shudders)

Enjoy your Thursday's
