Taking it slowly, but doing it well.

Busy day! I need to start writing monthly goals, as it would probably keep me on the straight and narrow!
I'm impressed with all the cash back/survey you manage to get!

Thanks Silence.

I check the survey sites little and often. My little one sometimes just wants to play on his own without interference from Mummy. So I usually take these opportunities to sit on the sofa with the tablet to do surveys. This means I have his nap time (usually about 2 hours) to adult & be productive. Then there's the time I spend with a not quite asleep child in my arms waiting for him to drop off so I can put him down in bed.

Well done on your low spend food festival. Hope you're getting a bit more sleep.

Thanks PP.
sleep is for the weak right? Therefore I am strong....

The less said about yesterday the better, it culminated in me getting only 4 hours sleep last night due to pesky teeth in the Pickle. As predicted yesterday wasn't a nsd and I did buy treaty junk food as well as the items I needed, but the total shopping bill was less than £12 so not a disaster.

I've spotted a couple of grocery spends in the joint account that hubby has not told me about previously. Thankfully there is still money in the grocery pot on YNAB so only the mop pot at the end of the week will be affected. I'm resigning my self to the fact I won't hit the £60 mop pot challenge by Saturday as There is only £60 left and I need to do a grocery shop tomorrow and I'm taking Pickle trampolining with his little friends.
I do think that hitting £150+ is pretty good going though and I've coloured in another square on my house only 90 to go.

Today was a nsd though so I've hit my target there. I'll increase it in October.

Hopefully I'll get more sleep tonight.

Thanks silence. Yup. Sleep deprivation is not as much fun anymore. Gone are the days of Netflix and a blanket on the sofa to recover from an all nighter.

September's results look pretty good to me. Bring on October's challenges!!

Exactly. Going to go for a super stretch I think. Desperate to bring out mortgage free date forward.
