TPAs It started off as a 2009 NYR - time moves on - I need to be MF by mid. 2012!

Oh dear - bad news about the stair carpet. Have you tried the OS board - they might have some good ideas....

setmefree - you are a superstar! I went onto the OS boards and asked the dreaded question - louisewh123 suggested using nail varnish remover. It worked brilliantly:j.

Had a massive bowl of porridge and a huge mug of tea, am all set up for a rediculously busy day of MSing and 'proper' work.

Great news :T:T Glad to help

Thought you had Mondays off?

Tesco_points_addict

I do normally but was called in for half a day! You've got a good memory!

All MS done and written up, I am exhaused now, am celebrating with a diet coke:D

Two of my jobs today invloved buying items and paying for them at a self service till, it had to be alcohol, so a member of staff would approach me. I mamaged to find a bottle of Merlot for the exact amount I had to spend!!!:j 2 x the jobs = two bottles:j:j.

Carpet still looking good!

Almost forgot - did some supermarket shopping total £11 Asda (£6 of which was essential MS spends but was still on groceries so will add on anyway) and £9.16 Waitrose:eek: Don't ask it was an emergency!!

Will go and add to my grocery spends now.

Me again!

I have just checked TopCashback and my AA £51.50 has tracked:j.

Just realised that we are almost three weeks into January and my grocery spends (which also include toiletries) has not yet reached £100:j. In fairness I have used quiet a few things from my freezer however I have bought things that will last for months too, like my toilet paper hoard and thich bin liners that should last the year etc.

TPA good position for the month and well done on the AA cashback; I'll need to look carefully when my RAC one comes up for renewal in May.

MS looks profitable for you.

A mad 24 hours in the life of TPA – the abridged version

7.30am leave home for ‘proper job’.
12.30 leave proper job for ‘lunch break’
12.35 approach first mystery shop of the day
12.50 leave first mystery shop of the day
12.55 ram sandwich in mouth!:o
1.00 return from ‘lunch break’ and start afternoon of ‘proper job’
4.45 finish proper job for the day
5.15 arrive at 2nd mystery shop of the day
5.40 arrive at 3rd mystery shop of the day
6.05 arrive at 4th mystery shop of the day
6.30 arrive at 2nd part of main job
9.30 depart 2nd part of main job
10.00 arrive home
10.02 have a wee!
10.04 turn on computer and start inputting mystery shopping reports
11.37 decide there must be more to life - turn off computer:undecided
11.39 crawl into bed too exhausted even to brush teeth:eek:
02.12 wake up in a panic realising I did not finish off all reports last night
06.40 creep back to computer to enter last report! sooo tired:mad:

7.30am depart for 'proper job' and realise I must get a grip and learn to prioritise. Paying off the mortgage is probably not worth risking my marriage or health for!:www:

Unsuprisingly I am exhuasted today and need a slap for being so stupid!:o

On a lighter note, did I tell you all the council 'let me off' my parking ticket?

TPAx

OOH really does sound like you need more of a work life balance, yes it's probably time you slowed down.

Congrats on sorting the parking ticket.

SmlSave

Yay! for the parking ticket not being enforced

and

Silly girl! for wearing yourself out.

I expect you to look after yourself better from now on TPA or mama SmlSave will wag her finger at you!

Let us know you've had a more restful day.
