    Perhaps - I have a vague memory that the reason I didn't cancel it last time was because I couldn't figure out how to! Will check through the bank. 

    Just done another couple of Prolific studies, now standing at 

    £36.86 cleared
    £6.37 pending

    Pretty good!

    I put some washing on this morning, but the weather is all over the place. I can't decide whether to peg it out to take advantage of the sun and wind, or keep it in to avoid the showers! Might risk pegging it out - the sky is pretty blue at the minute...

    @Cheery_Daff - perhaps you can cancel the direct debit via your bank account - I recently found that option on mine, when I was trying to set up a new monthly s/o!
    4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!! (24 OCT 2016)
    (With heartfelt thanks to those who have gone before us & their indubitable generosity.)
    ...and now I have a mortgage! (23 AUG 2021)
    New projection - 14 YEARS 8 MONTHS LEFT OF 20 YEARS (reduced by 16 mths)
    Psst...I may have started a diary!

    Yep, just cancelled it through the banking app - which makes me wonder why on earth I didn't do it before! 🙄

    Washing out, and I think most of it will be nicely dry soon 😊

    It was nice while I was out (albeit windy!) so I retrieved the recycling bin from the top of the drive, and picked a big jug full of damsons. Not sure what I'll do yet - there are still plenty on the tree. 

    Made some pear pancakes (just a thick batter with grated pears from a friend's tree), and topped with some of my homemade gooseberry jam from last year 😊 Made me all excited about preserving again 😊

    Meeting a friend for an online chat in half an hour, so I might go and retrieve the washing before then, and pick some sage to dry. 😊
