    I had a late night too, usually I’m in bed by 9pm. I knew Sweden would win from the first time I heard the song a while ago. I think the UK song deserved better than next to last though. It was a great show, really enjoyed it.

    I was disappointed with the Eurovision winner. I wanted Finland to win!

    I also wanted Finland to win, I didn't actually like Sweden's entry. 

    Happy Monday all... I hope you had a good weekend? Today's another quiet one for me, hubby is out tonight so I will take the dog out this evening and then catch up on some telly or start a new book.  It'll be a NSD for me, one of many this week until I have a day out with my dad and sister on Saturday. It's not actually that long until pay day now, pay day falls on a Saturday so I will be paid on 26th :)

    Nothing available to cash out in Prolific so I have made my standard £3 PAD to the EF. And that's about it from me, have a lovely sunny day!

  • Hello all, it's another sunny day in South Yorkshire :)  Hope you're all doing well?

    I will be having another NSD today, no spending plans at all and a busy day at work. My PAD was £3 to the EF and there's no free money from any survey or snapping sites available. 

    Weighed in this morning and there's no loss or gain so It could be worse!

  • Another lovely sunny morning here and I'm feeling great as I woke up naturally this morning. It makes such a difference! :)

    Today will be another NSD, no need for spending today. I sent £3 to the EF as my PAD this morning and the account is looking OK for the rest of the pay period. I have plans to spend on 3 more days before I get paid on 26th.  Hubby has suggested a few drinks in town on 27th which is an idea I can get on board with :D 

    In terms of the health kick, today's meal plan is cereal for breakfast, ham salad sandwich for lunch and then chicken salad for dinner tonight. I also have fruit for snacks if I get hungry.  Hubby is on night shift so it makes it easier to eat more healthily.

    I hope you all have a great day

  • Not sure where the nice weather has disappeared to but at least it's not raining :) I woke up naturally again this morning so I am feeling OK. I am really looking forward to the weekend, I'm off to the east coast with my sister and then on Sunday I have a craft workshop with one of my friends.  My sister and I are also hoping to book the August holiday.

    Today is littered with meetings at work, lots of short ones with 30-45 minutes in-between so it will probably not be very productive as by the time I've gotten into a task it's time to join another call.  I'm off to the gym tonight after work, I won't get another chance until Monday, but there should be plenty of walking on Saturday. 

    It's another NSD for me today, tomorrow should be the same. My PAD today is £3 to the EF as I've still nothing available on Prolific.  Food wise, it's the same as yesterday with the chicken salad being substituted for prawn salad.  

    That's about it from me, I'm counting down to pay day (some things never change :D )!

  • Happy Friday! Hope you're all well?

    It's another NSD for me today, I've had a good run this week :)  I've already sent £3 to the EF as my daily PAD and work looks to be more admin based today rather than meetings so I'm hoping to be productive.

    That's all from me. I've already done a Pinecone survey this morning, nothing much on Prolific the past week or so.

  • Well, this is a good Friday if my emails are to be believed... I have an email from Nationwide that they're giving me £100 in their member fair shares payment. I don't do anything, it just goes into my bank :)  A quick google search tells me it's legit so that's good and it looks like my dad will be eligible too so I will be giving him good news when I see him later.
