@cathybird how do you feel about the following, I spent £13.30 today however I have made £13.52 on prolific which covers it, how do you feel about adding a day? Either way I should still be able to get to beyond 20 as I plan on not spending tomorrow and the next day. However I am aiming to make £6.50 per day and haven't reached that with the spending in effect. So it is your call. Thank youXX2

Number 20 for me today so have reached my target. Will manage at least a couple more before Wednesday. I did 26 days last month so am feeling happy to have slashed my spending so much. Much easier for me as someone with no children at home and mainly working from home so no tempting cafes etc at work. One thing I’ve not bought at all this year is any clothes and dead pleased with that, but am wavering as my swimming cozzy has seen much better days!4
