Raquela's Diary

Hi Raquela

Just read your dairy through and wanted to wish you luck :j

Am interested in the stuff about making extra. I too have seen some of the threads and thought 'how is that possible' especially as I work long hours, have a longish commute - and don't get overtime :mad:

How are you getting on with your list? I haven't done much today - have a bit of a hangover

Raquela

well, I'm almost done with the pointless training I'm doing, and might get to choose a cake to bake, but then I think I shall be a snoozin!

Did someone mention cake

Raquela

ha ha, no, whatever gave you that idea?!! CA-AAAAKKE!! Sadly it won't really be for me; one of those deals where its your birthday, and you are expected to take cakes or treats in for everyone else! Luckily I like baking, and making one will be significantly cheaper than buying one!

But will have to wait til tomorrow, for I'm now completely knackered, and if I start looking at cakes or meal planning it will only make me hungry and unable to sleep!

Nighty night all x

I think you should have a trial run at these cakes in advance of taking them into work.....I am more than happy to sacrifice half an hour of my time tomorrow to give you an opinion as to whether they are suitable or not :rotfl:

ooooh, Shoegal, I forgot to say re earning extra - I know exactly what you mean re 'how do people do it!'. My commute isn't too long thankfully (except if I get the bus or rather buses in, when my commute time would match what it would be if I worked in central london, and I only work 18 miles from where I live!), and the lack of challenging or enough work at work means I actually have some energy and can pursue some part-time things, and as for selling things on Amazon etc, I have acquired a lot of 'stuff' over the past few years and it annoys me, so that has double benefits!

he he, perhaps I should open up a Broads cake stall, you can advise me lots then he he. Sadly won't be baking tomorrow what with the family descending (mum too), so no doubt it will be a last minute thing - which I wasn't working on my birthday now!

Right, defo bed now, eyes drooping!

Sleep well!

Great day on sunday with the family, lovely roast dinner at the pub, got all the village gossip (of which there is a *lot*!) - hotbed of iniquity I tell you!

Flyby posting today - I checked the internet protocol at work, and turns out whilst I can browse here from work, I'm not allowed to post to any message board or forum, and daily clicks are out too Darn it. Part of me wants to add mobile broadband on my phone and take my laptop in every day so I can do what the hell I like on my lunchbreak thank oo very much, but then I remember that will cost me an extra £15 a month, and defeats the purpose of earning extra money on clicks....

It's very frustrating reading something and wanting to post a response immediately though, have to say!

Still not doing too well on the clicks front; a few don't seem to be tracking, and I'm generally not getting more than one site a day done. Did get 60p on free scratches today though, woo! Also sold a CD yesterday for £2 odd, and one today for £3 odd. The bizarrest thing is that the CD I sold yesterday has been bought by the artist.... why would they buy their own CD?!!! And give me their address as a result?! It's not a particularly well known artist, unless you are fond of the London jazz scene, but still, wee bit bizarre!

Right, work beckons

Mornin!

Ugh, major spider trauma this morning; three of the big harvest spider !!!!!!s to deal with. I put two in the same glass to remove outside; stupid me didn't realise that they would fight, I was really freaked out by it... the third is still in the kitchen sink whilst I work out how to remove it!

work is still... yeah. I have actually got a cool little project to do. Well, it's not cool at all, it's as dull as, but I get to talk to people who do cool stuff. At least when I've found out who they are lol..

sold another CD yesterday, for £5 this time, 45p on the scratches today. Still don't think I'll ever get extra earnings up to £10 a day without a second job though!

I've realised it's totally pointless me baking a cake to take in for my birthday tomorrow - neither of my colleagues will be there! So I'm going to wait until next week when they are both back, gives me extra time to get shopping too!

Right, rubbish job beckons, bye!
