    Enjoy your weekend. 
    I hope you have a good weekend too, Thanks BeanieXX

    Today is rather slow going, MD was getting bored and she said she wanted to go to an art show, so I decided it would be easier just to take her there. She agreed to go to a place I wanted to try after, The art place was enjoyable the place I wanted to go after looked like a dump, I had high hopes it would be a good place to go, but no sadly not! 

    Anyhow I got back without spending any money and I have done some surveys Swagbucks not prolific, I lie there was one on prolific. Prolific is normally quieter at the weekend so I thought it would be a good chance to do some swagbucks, I don't really like them but there wasn't much to go before £5 voucher which I have now earned thankfully. 

    I was going to try and reduce my shop by £5.00 so I could transfer the cash to cashpot, but then I decided to get items that were better value in bulk such as the spice, which I will use and it is a lot cheaper way of buying it, only I spent near £6.00 on spice instead of £3.00 for more then double the quantity, a lot more then double! so good value, but sadly no reduction in grocery shop!

    Little Hoorah...just got my shop down to £40.81 missing cocoa powder & Pizza 😒 Well I'll be pleased when tomorrow I can add the difference to my cash pot! Sad about the pizza - I have bananas for banana bread instead of the cocoa so not so bad - but the pizza ...However if my Roomie is up for it I will do a bunny chow tomorrow I have the ingredient of a good curry again and a bunny! (Bread)XX

    I am pleased to say the cash pot is at £56.44 which is 18% after I added £11.24 which I cashed in this morning from prolific and £8.24 I transferred which was left from the grocery shop which is being delivered this morning! I do feel partially happy and partially I miss the cocoa and pizza!

    Today I want to get everything done that is needed for the week whilst my Roomie will be at work, we are going to enjoy a curry together tonight, I also want to make banana bread a special request from roomie, actually I suggested it and he said he loved banana bread - so now I have to make some - plus I now have bananas! sadly I didn't get walnuts - nevermind. The list today needs careful prioritising to get it done right!

    1) prepare curry (cook later) 

    2) Make bread 

    3) Make banana bread

    4) Operation clean up

    5) Hoover all floors

    6) Mop all floors

    7) Change bed linen

    8) Get table ready

    9) Clean bathroom

    10) R&R

    Sometime later... I will do the rest later, I am going to have some fresh bread and cheese and take some rolls over to MD and SFD. Then I will chill out for a bit then I will come back and finish the list! Feeling proud from what I have accomplishedXX

    Sometime later... I have just been to MDs and SFDs and ohh my I had a good work out, I helped a man put a big chair, vibrostation and bike in the van, then I cleaned and sorted the lounge. I have come back with a pen to put on Ebay I am not sure if it is worth anything from SFD and £20 fuel money so cash pot now at £76.44 which is 25%. Wowser! Feeling like today is a work day! and a good dayXX

    Thanks Newstart, I agree it will help thank you. I just did a spontaneous thing and bought some jewellery. I got some clip on tibetan silver earrings some time ago and they arrived today, they are lovelly and comfortable so I have ordred more they are not too expensive but I did use up the £20 I got today, nevermind. I think they will look good for interviews, I love to wear earrings and I can't wear the usual type because there is a problem with my piercing that it keeps getting infected, so clip on is the new way for me. The curry has been sat in it's spices all day, I am expecting it to be quite good. Fingers cross. Have a lovely end to the weekendXX

    Sometime later...I have asked for a refund for the earrings as the ones I already have started hurting, never mind, I hope I get my money back, I have messaged the seller, so I'll wait and see.

    Today I have cashed in £6.74 for surveys, I have been issued a full refund for the earrings I bought yesterday, however I won't be able to get the cash until MD & SFD ask me for groceries again, as I paid the credit card straight away - that is one of the flaws of paying it off too soon! For the time being the cash pot total is £63.12 21% I would really like to see £100 this week, which should be possible. Have a good day allXX

    Little open calculation...The pen set sold for £32, I have £14.76 left to go on the credit card, and cash pot total right now is £69.92 so alltogether £32+£14.76+£69.92 = 116.68 wahoo hitting that £100 mark, I just need to wait until it comes through, maybe now my aim for the week should be £150! that would be wonderful!

    No spend day up to 10 including today, but really it is a little too early to log. I did avoid spending at the garage, I drove past the garage and thought I could murder some snacks, but I didn't I thought better for not going, and I had lunch at home which was very enjoyable with homemade bread and banana breadXX

    I am going to be taken to the hospital for a minor operation soon, obviously not looking forward to it! Anyhow I have cashed in prolific this morning at £6.13, I have also now received my voucher which is £5.00 for M&S I think I will keep it with me today, there is and M&S in the hospital I am going to so I may use it on myself as a reward for being brave! Also I am taking a packed lunch so I am not hungry...which I better go and make soon! Cash pot is £90.81 including credit card money now! £32 to come soon so it will be £122.81 yay!

    Also MD said I could be paid for bringing a piece furniture back to good condition, we have now bought the materials just waiting for them to be delivered! Then I will need a bit of muscle and they should be good as new.
