    Blessings where we can take them indeed @Sun_Addict Though I was grateful for my layers coming back, and my still unshaven winter legs 😁

    The sunshine is fabulous isn't it?  Cardigans and winter legs are still useful though and I'm not giving up either just yet,

    Survey
    Receipt survey
    Flat clean before family friend over to stay the night

    £2 in flat pot from survey cashout

    25 minute walk, got a couple of discounted beers from m&s for a quid. Looked like there were none left so very pleased with myself for rummaging and finding the last two hidden ones

    Spec work

    20 minute walk posting a card to friend, from good deal stash

    Got £300 on the PB, thank you Ernie. The relief is immense what with the lack of work lately

    Is it seasonal thing or is your work reducing in general? 

    Excellent shelf rummaging too … 😊👏

    Well done on the win 🥳 You’re very lucky with the PB’s. Almost 2 years after starting them up I still haven’t won a thing ☹️

    Well done with the beers too, great bit of rummaging there.

    Thanks, and reducing in general unfortunately @KajiKita, all my friends in freelance writing are saying the same- chatgpt has nicked so much work as people would rather have a shoddier website or promo material or explainer script than pay someone. We're the luddites of this era 😥

    Cheers @Sun_Addict, they're probably waiting till you're retired so you'll more likely be in when Agent Million pops round

    Excellent win for you too @dawnybabes, whatcha spending it on?

    Very much so @redofromstart
