    Went shopping after work and spent £57.60, around £45 on food and the rest on toilet rolls and cleaning stuff. Also spent £13 on my brother's birthday present (paid for the rest from the @mazon vouchers I've gotten through surveys).

    £2.05 moved to the roof debt savings (£1 from surveys and £1.05 from cashback).

    Quick post before bed, it's been a NSD as was on a double shift. Another one tomorrow 😢 but then off the weekend and my parents are visiting which will be nice.

    Did a couple of PA surveys when I got home so hopefully the money will be available to cash out soon.

    Didn't get round to posting yesterday but survived the shift and it was a NSD.

    Day off today so doing a bit of a house tidy before parents arrive later on.

    My interest is around £14.90 a day 🙈🙈🙈 it's awful when you think about it like this isn't it.

    Hope you have a lovely weekend 💓

    It is a bit depressing thinking about it as currently over half my monthly mortgage payment is just paying off interest, however, will be good to see the figure coming down.

    Thanks - hope you have a lovely weekend too.

    Thanks Boodedoo. Went out for a lovely meal last night, mum paid so it was a NSD.

    Popping into work this morning to help out for a couple of hours and then we're all going out for lunch with my gran.
