Good luck with getting your tooth sorted Sue
It sounds awfully painful :'(
i am steadily potting now and my pot is making a nice rattling sound. I got my first penny roadkill of this challenge the other day. Even just a penny of roadkill seems exciting to me!

Hello! Catching up after my holiday and I have just cashed £5.08 from Prolific and sent it to my sealed pot.
The receipt apps I use are Shoppix, Zip-Zero, Storewards and SnapMyEats. I also gave up on YouGov as it took ages! I was also fortunate enough to find Pinecone via their advert, but I think you have to join via their ads rather than just joining... If anyone needs a referral in order to join something I'm happy to help if I can.

Morning all 😊 it's jolly lovely to finally get a bit of dry weather. We've been trying to tidy up the garden and DH is installing a couple of lights so we can see into the garden at night. Hopefully they'll be finished over the weekend. He is a qualified sparky, in case anyone is worried about his electrical capabilities 🤣
Another £5 and some coins into the pot. Have a lovely weekend and hugs to all that need them 🤗SPC 19 - #0093
