I'm back from job spotting and have added another £16 to my balance with about another dozen submissions still awaiting approval. I had to pay for parking but I did a little Christmas shopping while I was there to make the most of it!

What app is it? You just upload pics of jobs?

Evening all

Washout of a day today as, despite having loads to do here, I had to go over to DD2's and take care of GD again, while DD had a sleep. She is heavily pregnant, the little one is poorly and had her up all night, so I had to go

Had lots of plans, but got very little done apart from watching Frozen and building Duplo. Oh well, maybe tomorrow... Hope she sleeps tonight! Practice for when the baby arrives I suppose :cool:

Managed to:
Walk dog twice
Phone and renew car insurance
Phone Council to ask them to remove additional bin that has appeared
Pack 2 ebay sales, in the hope I can get them to the post office tomorrow
Had to get fuel for the car, cereal for OH and more potatoes as we had run out. Also go to surgery for OH's prescription
Came back and cooked dinner.
And that is it - shattered now.

Must go and sort the dishwasher and disaster area that is my kitchen now, hoping for better things tomorrow! Early night beckoning I think!

You sound like you definitely deserve one, Dawn!

CLF, you download the app (it's called Job Spotter and it's to do with Indeed) and then, every time you see a job advertised in a shop window you take two pics, one of the ad and one of the shop front or sign. You uploade it there and then and, once it's verified, you get points which convert into Amazon vouchers (I'm not sure what the conversion rate is though!) You get more points for small, independent businesses like hairdressers/restaurants etc and less for big chains. You can also earn points by verifying other people's submissions. I counted and I did 60 today but that was in a big shopping centre with lots of chains so they were averaging about 30 points whereas the cafe which was my first of the day earned me nearer 100!. I had a couple not accepted as they were apparently duplicates which can happen if someone else gets there before you!

Well today has been very money saving for me as I spent 40 min of my life in Sainsburys just to find I had no purse!! :mad:

Dawn hope today is a bit quieter, your dd is very luck for all that you do for her. My plans today :

Unexpected wfh, hoping to gets loads done so I can at least be off half a day tomorrow.
Meals from stores
Make pastry for quiche that I didn’t do earlier in the week
Man coming to fit skirting and new door, so I’ve already cleared and vacuumed room this morning. My just for diy vacuum wasn’t picking up on the hose, need to look at that.
Start shopping list for weekend
Hm fruitbread for breakfast
Buy something for man to fit today, use vouchers from surveys - my favourite kind of shopping

Text friend to see if she is coming at the weekend so I know if I need to cater for extra and I can be prepared

Think that’s about all for know, hope everyone is ok and those that aren’t postingare doing ok if they are reading Ziggy, determined, ally, CCL, et al

Morning all

It is very quiet on here this week, isn't it? Hope everyone is ok and just getting on with Christmas preps!
Hoping no babysitting today, but if I have to, well, there is no point moaning about it! So, tentative plans for today:
Heating is switched off and the back door is open, as it is weirdly warm... Off all day, but switched back on now so that the bathroom isn't freezing (radiators only on in bathroom, loft conversion, as it is freezing up there, and the airing cupboard)
If not raining (doesn't look great atm) get out in the garden and continue to work on the raspberry bed

Finished cutting down the autumn raspberry canes, put compost on about one third of the bed, and started putting up the low fencing panel thingies I bought with vouchers back in the summer. Composted leafy parts of raspberry canes and cut up the woody parts to dry for the wood burner. Every little helps, right? :rotfl:
Dog walks x 2 Done
Post office with 2 ebay sales

Done
Some housework /tidying - I have already disgorged the contents of the airing cupboard, ready to sort and put away Oops stalled here

Sort fridge out and see what needs using or freezing And here - though a quick glance told me nothing urgent!
HM meals from stores - I have fish out of the freezer to cook for dinner Done
Look for surveys A few for onepoll and a couple for Prolific, so far!
Check banks Not yet
No plans for spending today

Nothing spent, must update signature :T

OH a bit better today, slowly improving. Looking forward to that MRI scan next week though, so that we know what is causing it and what can be done!

Better get on with some of it in case I get called away again! Not today, bliss!
