    Hi guys, back again. I have learnt some new things today!! I now know how to fill up my car and how to do the tyres!!

    Thanks for asking about my hol, its not really a hol, just off to visit my family as its my dad's birthday and were having a special surprise birthday meal for him, with all his children there. Its alright for the others as they live within five miles of my dad, i am the only one who lives 250 miles away!! Will be driving back very early monday morning, as have to be back at college at 9.30!!

    so my list for today!:
    -I have tried doing some more surveys, keep getting screened out though!!
    -Have done relevant checks on my car and filled it up, took ages though as i don't know much about that sort of thing and my boyf, nor our neighbour was in, to give me a hand.
    -I then did the tyre pressure thing, managed to find a man at the petrol station to help with that one!! The machine started bleeping at me and going down instead of up, i needed rescuing!!
    -Packaged up and posted mystery shopping parcel at post office.
    -completed mystery shopping forms and have sent them back, so will get paid for the job
    -Have looked for mystery shops
    -Have finished packing my bag for going away, means i have everything i need and don't get caught short and have to buy things whilst up there
    -Bought half price sweets to suck for the journey
    -Filled the car up with petrol whilst doing the tyres, did it at the cheap garage so petrol was cheaper and means i have a steady run tonight
    -Have packed gift vouchers that ebay won't let me sell, have a few pressies left to buy and were going christmas shopping on sat, so might as well use them up that way.

    -I will place another matched bet if my free bet has come through
    -I will work on case study 2
    -I will work on case study three
    -I will find some batteries out for my camera, i have loads somewhere just not sure where
    -Keep heating off for as long as poss
    -Make meals from storecupboard
    -Tidy bedroom, means i am more productive and letters etc don't go stray
    -Put away any financial papers
    -Sort out all folders etc, so many stranded bits of papers
    -Write up paper work for my business

    -Go on site for more business advice
    -Work on improving business on search engines
    -List job lots on ebay

    -Pay credit card bill
    -Check online banking

    -Do last bits of ironing and get clothes shoved away
    -Were using a charity bag as our bin bag, we keep leaving them out for the charities to collect but they never do, so decided to re use it!
    -Cut out all symbols for my job
    -Go on freecycle for free things
    -Look at trainers on ebay
    -Pay for oils

    -Look on freebie section for freebies
    -Sort out weekly to do list
    -Upload shop and scan as can't do it on sun
    -Send off self employment letter
    -Update spreadsheets and challenges
    -Do homework chart
    -Work through emails
    -Do more surveys


    Think there is more than enough to keep me busy!! Will catch up with you all later, if time allows!!

    Piq, my cold lasted several weeks, its really important, as infuriating as it is, to make sure you get plenty of rest and just allow your body the time to fight it. I know when i had it, i was in so much pain i couldn't believe it. Get well soon and good luck with getting your head round matched betting.

    Glad the cows are back, I'm still in grey woolly socks, but sparkling like mad :p

    Today I have/will:
    • I'm getting ready for Popeye's return tomorrow :happylove the house is almost shiny and bright. (thanks to Stardrops and microfibre cloths & elbow grease) Clean sheets and I've even turned the mattress :p
    • still waiting for payment for an item sold on e-bay on Monday -when do I get :mad: ?
    • brought in lunch,
    • MS supper - but it's a friend doing the shopping, I'm just helping her with her first. I get supper & a £1.50 referral fee :D
    • Another NSD, as long as the bosses tempting me with McDonalds doesn't scupper this. I will resist, I will resist...... (It's amazing the power of wanting a NSD :D )
    • start listing more things on e-bay for 5p listings.
    Just a confession, I spent half an hour with DD looking for a text book she needed........then I remembered I'd sold it on Amazon :o (And I haven't told her yet :o:o :rotfl:

    Aww, thats great news about popeye's return, you must be chuffed!!

    Loving the amazon story, i have to confess i have done that before, except i did it to myself. Hunted for books for ages and then realised that at some point i had listed and sold them on amazon!! Just a quick question, are you actually going to tell her!!
