    I'd vote Green if they had any chance of getting in. Coalition govt - that's what I say!!

    Ireland have a coalition govt with the greens as the minor party and the greens have lost all credibility over it. All their environmental policies are out the window and they are now just yes men. If your green party is like the irish one and others the world over then theres no point even bothering
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Right, I'm doing a to do list for the week, for me and NIM, because there are some non urgent things we need to sort this week:
    • [STRIKE]Keep on top of the daily surveys[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Both free scratchies every day[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check onepoll every day[/STRIKE]
    • Check all survey accounts and make a list of them, see how far I am from cashout since have never done this
    • Do Toluna Polls
    • Clear stuff from under bed into shed
    • [STRIKE]Sort drawers out so can actually find clothes[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Go to gym at least 4 times[/STRIKE]
    • Send TAB my ID details
    • Weekend - sort ALL the books out so they are listed on Amazon if going for £1.50 or more, or on RISI if under £1.50
    • [STRIKE]Finish tidying the room[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Assemble second wardrobe[/STRIKE]
    • Change address on my drivers licence, and order NIM an English one
    • Do Dooyoo reviews (aiming for 35 between the two of us), know this is a lot, but I'm trying to still write decent reviews, have just lost all enthusiasm to write 1000-6000 word blockbusters!
    • Do 50 STP tracks per day (this one is mainly on NIMs shoulders, however if he gets loads of extra shifts, clearly this might be dropped), total STP by 23.59pm Sunday = get up to 400 total ever done on NIMs account
    • List the 10 or so items in the green box on ebay, and store on turbolister ready for the next free listings day
    • Get NIM a list of comic shops to call about the comics
    • NIM calls comic shops/makes a list of comics to email anyone who is interested
    • [STRIKE]Check all MS accounts that I have no outstanding jobs I didn't remember[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Do MS on Wed (one MS all week?! Need to find more me thinks!)[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Get OH to register on all UK MS sites[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]Check which ones I am with, and register on those I never got around to![/STRIKE]
    So 22 things to do, bets on how many we manage to do?!

    So, managed 11/22, 50%. Not bad, not great either!

    The bolshy one who punches people and falls asleep in the Commons! Love him!

    He is pretty loveable! I wonder if he wears funky socks?


    I decided I can only consider me and Rich to be long term once I'm in my later teens, I need to remind myself of my age sometimes!

    Afternoon NIM, hope you're feeling better!

    The list is going well, I think Dinah. Give yourself more credit!

    In unrelated news can someone tell me why giving my details to a bank online scares the bejayzus out of me?

    I can breath and use the phone but the headache is on its way back so time for more medication methinks.

    I was the same when signing up for my eSaver! Saying that I was just as worried giving them to a man with a thick accent when I rang up so I they can't win with me. You'll be alright, double alright if you're on IE.

    Glad you're feeling better NIM, at least Dinah can be happy it isn't man flu!

    • Do the 6 MS shops I already have lined up for this week, try to get some more for both NIM and I for this week and next.
    • Get NIMs ISA opened.
    • Transfer money to CC2 to pay off my section, and NIMS £120 to pay off his rent to parents so far.
    • Write letters to the 10 catalogue shops I didn't know I had accounts with and ask them to close them
    That'll do I think, since last week's didn't go so well! C'mon NIM, lets try for 100% this week!

  • How ironic that the GREENS were such a flop in IRELAND! Hmm, the same wouldn't surprise me in the UK I don't think.. Glad you're feeling better though. Colds aren't proper poorly but it's nice to have a whinge!

    I have to remind myself of your age too Cinny! You're a whole 10 years younger than me! :eek: When do you turn 18?

    I think 11/22 is grand. And anyway, you'd never have an achievable list, it's just not challenging enough!

    So much for my MSE abstitnence today eh? Did a little stinit of work this morning so now a feel I need a break! :D

    Urgh no don't give our your details on IE - very hackable programme! My ex was a web developer and he showed me how easy IE was to break into to get someones details, I've used Firefox ever since!

    There is absolutely nothing to worry about giving details online, we have a secure internet connection, you are OPENING an account, not sending money, so how would they get your money?! So long as the site is https not http its secure, certainly more secure than giving them to a complete stranger in a bank/over the phone!
