One day I'll complete a list! Had my niece stay over so got distracted playing with an electric robot which terrified the dogs and completing a 500 piece puzzle of all the state in America (charity shop purchase). We started it when she was here and I completed it today, well almost because it had 3 pieces missing - how annoying!

Had another £2 survey yesterday so up to £34 now. 

Also my neighbour is away home to Poland for 2 weeks and the walker she sorted for her holiday cancelled so I'm doing a 1hr walk for 10 days while her husband is working so extra £180 coming my way!

The jars sound like a great idea. Good on the surveys it's soon adding up

I just use old coffee jars and fill them up, this is one of the big Douwe Egberts jars my mum got from her work so should get a good couple of hundred at least in there! Can't wait to fill it so I can treat myself.

Hi _Dolly_Rocker_ I've just read the first five pages of  your diary and your positivity and determination (along with a sense of humour) shine through. Wishing you all the very best of luck. I will be following your progress with interest. BiB x 

Ah thanks! Just me rambling on but glad it made you smile.

Just logged in to Prolific which I haven't used in months and cashed out £11.52. I'll withdraw that and the £12.50 I made selling the pw print collages and pay that to a CC.

So that's Luna's insurance renewal came in and it's went up to £26 a month - just done another quote with the same company and got it down to £20. 

Every little helps!

Just need to call them now and cancel the renewal.

Jeez I'm failing miserably with this list business but I'm gonna keep trying!

Yesterday I decided again to move my furniture ain my bedroom around again when I had a spare hour. Happy with it for the moment. 

Today I organised my wardrobe and drawers a little bit to try and get it a bit better organised.

Defo need to get stuff sorted to sell cos I have way too much and I'm probably never gonna wear it all!

Got like 3 washings all out and dried today - changed days - used to be buzzing for a beer garden when it was sunny now I'm happy to get my washing dry.

Oh also good news - getting a £211 refund from Student Loans for a below threshold refund for the last tax year. I'll pay that straight to a CC when it comes in. 

I got a cheque from O2 for £6 which has just reminded me that I got a cheque from DVLA for about £140 last week. No idea what I did with it - will dig around the living room tomorrow. 

Time to chill for me now.

£300.00 - Tesco - 05072024*
£182.94 - Virgin (£246.00 from November 2024) - 16072024

£827.94 - Total

Notes
* Payment amount was £300 for July but I actually paid this in full. Amount paid was £1,191.59. This means I can free up more to pay off other cards from August. I was able to do this because I had £585 in cash saved at home which I decided to use to pay the debt rather than save. 

All paid and more! Off to do my sums for August.
