Dolly's Surviving to Thriving...............

Comments

  • Started my Prolific Academic surveys again yesterday and I'm already up to about £8ish!

    Any penny I can get in will be a massive help. 
    Debt Free - 4th June 2025
  • All January debt repayments made - £1.081.25 in total which was a hard slog I'm not gonna lie. 

    Any money I get in between now and 31st January will go towards February totals and I'm hoping that I can pay this amount each month to be debt free by October!

    Dogs went out with the dog walker so I blitzed my living room. 

    Kitchen and dining room started and I managed to unblock the bottom drawer in my bedside cabinet. 

    Feel like today has been productive!

    Good start on the debt repayments and getting rid of it by October will be awesome.

    Happy new diary, and congratulations on the plan and the massive achievements so far. Prolific has been, erm, prolific recently so long may that continue.

  • Finally submitted my meter reading so will pay my bill tomorrow. 

    Started muzzle training with Luna who is a bit of a nipper and can resource guard. So far she's just taking treats from the muzzle and has let me clip it on around her neck. We'll take baby steps but I'm hoping to have her in the muzzle when she needs to be in a few weeks.  I don't want to stress her so will take it as slow as she needs me to. 

    I'm going to do all the housework tomorrow - couldn't be bothered today honestly. 

    Sitting cosy on the couch with Luna watching Greys Anatomy and Bailey is snoozing in bed. 

    I'll be heading to bed soon myself.

  • As a Greys fan the names Luna and Bailey just made me smile reading that 😅
