    Hope the arrears on the pension give you some breathing space. Well done on the YG survey - I am finding them very sparse atm.

    Felt warmer this morning but house has got cold as the morning has wore on so I’ve given in and out the heating on for a while to warm it up.

    Ive had a few and I got a £2.50 one once. Have you signed up to the banking aspect of YouGov?  Not much but gets you 75 points a week

    Feel like I’ve lost of decluttering stats but 3 items of clothing and a teddy off to the charity shop so I think 19/104 done. 

    Pinecone survey done yesterday. I’ve got a referral link if anyone would like one as they are after new members.  Not sure if it’s still fairly elusive to join pinecone or not. 

    Pottered about today. Made another 4 blocks of butter. Family are super happy with it. Thunk a tub of spread will always be in the fridge as it’s easier for sandwich toasties for sure. 

    More work done on budget and have moved just over £2000 to premium bonds today. Need to move all of our EF over there whilst I work out what we are going to do to make our money work for us

    No, I seem to recall there was something about it I didn't like. Might have a look at it again 🤔

    And I'd love a PC referral if poss please ❤️

    Surveys quite busy today. Haven’t stopped doing bits around the house this morning so just had lunch and sat down for a bit!  

    £6.55 just paid out from PA and £2.12 requested from TCB. Also spent £10 on two tops from TU but used my nectar points so don’t feel bad about it.
