    Haha sorry, was quickly posting so I wouldn't forget it! It was another survey cashout. I'm spending half my life doing surveys at the moment, I'm not achieving much else at home 😂

    Exactly 😁

    Thank you 😊 I need to get these ipads cleared so I can get back to padding to the car properly!

    Another survey cashout to my pad today. I should get back pay this month so hopefully I'll be able to clear the ipads by the end of the month and then get back to padding to the car.

    Heading off to SW in a bit then little miss and I are off counter protesting again. We'll have a mooch about town and go to a cafe while we are out. Then we are off to visit family as my relatives are down from Orkney.

    My relative and I went to a fancy doughnut place yesterday, it was delicious but not very SW friendly😂
