In addition, I have also:
Got an email back from the taekwando bloke -I'll phone Tuesday to see if the session is still on that evening, then go have my free session and see how I get on - I'm hoping this is something I can do and is the price of the gym!
Now up to 400 on Opinion World - I won't be cashing out for a while as it's now Christmas money - am waiting for the fourth survey in a group to bump this up again
Up to 18.80 on Onepoll - I will get the 40 for xmas
Up to 400 on Mindmover, I know I can't cash out for a bit either - til I get to 2000, so that'll be £20
Up to 70 on Lightspeed
Ipsos says 10, but I did do a survey that hasn't gone through yet - should go up to 260
There's also £4 sat in my Paypal, but I won't touch that (and can't take it out as it's under £6
Checked ebay - Watchers on two items....

Had my appointment, I know now what's wrong with me....Borderline Personality Disorder with Recurrent Depressive Disorder. And he said it's normal to have psychosis with BPD - so glad I'm not schizophrenic....Going to be referred for counselling and to the people who deal with sorting responses to emotions so I can learn how to deal with it. Need to go back in 4 weeks to see the psych again. Don't trsut him, but he IS good....started crying part-way through and he didn't ignore it.
