    Phew - went ok thank you.

    It was just a little pep talk. I'm back and earning as we speak :D

    I forgot to mention earlier that I won a Nokia Golden Ticket which gives me 2 tickets to 20 different gigs and festivals over the space of a year.

    I'm hoping that I will be able to sell them as this little lot will be worth at least £500!!

    I have worked out my little plan for earning money on AQA this month.

    On days that I am at work, I'm going to answer 100 questions and on days I am off I am going to asnwer 150 questions.

    If I can keep this up all month then I will earn £1,080!!!

    I know that some days I could do more questions but after I have reached my quota for the day then I am going to start concentrating on my competitions.

    Speaking of that, I won a sequin art set today which I can sell for about £10 :D .

    Better get the questions done before I go round my boyfriend's later. Only 40 more to go today and I reached my quota yesterday too - that'll be £60 already :D

    February is going so well this year - I think it is making up for the awful time I had last year.

    I'm nearly up to date on all of my questions - by the end of the day I will have £150 in my AQA account already :D

    The prizes just seem to keep on coming too. I won a solar powered backpack in a text competition over night (my boyfriend says it's worth £70).

    Also, I have just seen my name on a winners list for the Daily Star Sunday paper - I have won a Sony camcorder and Rescue Me DVD boxset :eek: :eek:

    I just can't wait to see what else this month and year brings now - I must have won around £1,000 worth of prizes so far this year. :dance:

    I got my Thomas prize yesterday so that will be stuck on Ebay soon. My satnav is due any day now so that will be sold ASAP.

    Could I be debt free by 2008??? :think: :rotfl:

    Wow Emily, sounds like it's going really well for you at the moment. Can I ask how many competitions you enter to win so much, plus have time to do the AQA questions - I'm wondering if you ever sleep!

    BTW - very jealous you won the Nokia Golden ticket - though if I'd won it I would be hard pressed to actually sell it, as I'd want to go to the festivals!

    Thank you :o - I'm not sure how many comps I actually enter. I just get my questions quota done for the day and then enter comps until it's bedtime (I lead a very sad life!).

    I do sleep but probably not as much as I should do :rolleyes: - I don't deprive myself of sleep anyway ;) .

    I'm going to wait and see what the Nokia prize consists of - my boyfriend is in to that type of thing but it's really not good for my health to be standing around in a muddy field for hours on end (or that's my excuse anyway :D ). Now that I've won the camcorder, I may be able to keep some of the Nokia tickets.

    If the Nokia tickets can be sold for separate festivals I may be after the Isle of Wight ones as me & a couple of mates are looking to go this year (I'm saving my £2 coins to pay for it!)

    Ok then, I will keep you informed. I'm expecting to hear from them this week with the details.
