I fell asleep last night at around 9pm so didn't get anything done really. I think I am coming down with a cold as my throat is killing me today. I've shoved some Nurofen down it though .

I managed to get 2 mystery shops today. One doesn't pay any fee but I get clothes up to £10 so will just sell whatever I buy on Ebay. The other has a £5 fee and £10 worth of freebies and I can get some pet stuff there so that's ok.

I've got 1 mystery shop to actually do later on today that pays £10.

I've also done something a bit mad, I've got someone coming over on Wednesday to go through joining Avon. I am now thinking, 'you nutter Emily - how many jobs do you want???'!! She has got some territory reserved for me too. I used to do Avon years ago but thought last night in a moment of tiredness - what the hell!!

Thank god my mum got me a diary for christmas - it is looking very full these days!!

Hi everyone

Sorry I haven't posted recently. I've been really busy starting my Avon business off. I didn't have long to get my first order in so kind of threw myself into it. I got £200 worth of orders which gave me £50 of comission, but I spent it on products myself .

It wasn't all bad though as I got a mother's day present for my mum, a present for my niece (probably for Easter), a necklace for myself, some cleanser, moisturiser, nail varnish and loads of other stuff. Anyway, I am on my 2nd order now and am trying to double my total which would give me £100 comission.

I managed to pay off my sister her £250 but am struggling to pay off my uncle which is £200. I had a huge electric bill through which I had to pay off with the extra money I had got and this has left me really skint this month
I can't even pay the £100 that I usually give my uncle monthly. He hasn't asked for it yet but I really want to get it ASAP. So that is my next target. If I pay off the £100 then I only owe him £100 next month and that is it.

I've got a £10 Amazon voucher from Dooyoo that I am going to stick on Ebay and I am thinking about selling a crystal that my dad bought for me. I know that it's from my dad (he died 3 years ago) but I know that my dad would rather me have the money to help me out rather than a material item that won't bring him back. I have my memories and loads of other things that he bought me over the years.

I've had to give up on the mystery shopping for now, mainly because of the time AQA and Avon takes up but also because I just haven't got the money to spare to pay for jobs up front and then wait for my money weeks later.

Will post a bit more tomorrow.

Glad you are ok.
Was wondering where you were.

What a bad day _pale_ . My sister found out that she was pregnant again. Unfortunately she is bleeding and has had some pains in her stomach. They think she might be miscarrying but can't be sure yet as it's too early (5 & a half weeks). I've been sat in the hospital with her for a couple of hours whilst her OH looked after their daughter.

She is back home now but has to see her GP on Monday. She is convinced she is going to lose the baby.

I then got home all tired and found that my cat had wee'd and poo'd all over the rug!! She did it last night too. I just think she is doing it because I am at work all day and she doesn't like being on her own. Nothing I can do about it though. It's because my dad used to make a right fuss of her when he was alive but I just don't have the time to do that now.

I've cleaned the rug and stuck it in the cupboard so she can't do it again.

On the money side of things, I spent 99p today on my mum's birthday card and £79.01 on paying off my phone bill before I get cut off :whistle: . That is quarterly and not monthly I hasten to add!!

I was racking my brains trying to think of what to get my mum for her birthday and I have found a light that she wanted on Ebay. She got me one for Christmas, realised that she liked it and then Argos stopped doing it. I've managed to find one so she will be really pleased. It's £60 including postage but my sister will give me half so all I have to do is sell £60 worth of stuff on Ebay and then pay with Paypal. Then the £30 my sister gives me (in cash) can go towards the £200 to pay my uncle off. Then I can just get my mum something from Avon to go with it and she is done.

So my to do list for this evening is:

1. Get to £60 in AQA account.
2. Finish off writing my order forms out for Avon for 1 of my roads.

Would be longer but starting it a bit late .

Will post later to update.

Thank you. We are all keeping our fingers crossed. She would be devastated to lose the baby, especially after her son died 3 years ago at 18 days old. I think it would be worse though without her daughter (who is 2 in May).

Better get back to the questions.....

:T Finished my tasks for tonight:T . I was tempted to quit at £45 in AQA account but pushed myself to get to £60. Have also finished the order forms for 1 of my roads on Avon (waiting to get my books back on Monday so I can put them out again).

My tasks for tomorrow (or is it today now?? ) are:

1. Get to £90 in AQA account
2. Clean out rabbit cage
3. Hoover upstairs
4. Wash bed sheets and hopefully put out on the line to dry :rolleyes:
5. Do another load of washing
6. Have an NSD
7. Get together 20 books for new road on Avon (with 67 houses :eek: )
8. Find 5 items to list on Ebay on Sunday
9. Do 2 Dooyoo reviews
10. Clean out rubbish in the garden

Busy day for me . Going to get some sleep in a minute so nighty night.
