    Hi Lou

    It is going ok thanks, my health is still top notch (well, top notch for me anyway), I just need to get my act together on sitting down and working sometimes. I am earning enough to pay my bills and buy food but there is nothing left for anything else. I just need a bit more discipline.

    I am due back at the hospital a week tomorrow and then I have to call work after to tell them what I have decided. However, my mind is pretty much made up already as my health has improved a lot compared to what it was.

    Thank you.

    I am really excited about watching Eclipse. I'm watching it in a triple bill at Vue. Over 6 hours of Twilight :T.

    The question is are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? :D

    Team Jacob all the way, he's so much more interesting than Edward! :D:D:D

    How about you?

    That triple bill sounds great, I wish we had a Vue round here!

    Evening everyone

    Not a bad day's work, I did most of my tasks. I will have to put the Dooyoo on hold until next month I think as I have to do 150 questions a day to make up for being slack earlier on in the month :doh:.

    Got a couple of surveys and also got some freebie tickets to a film next month.

    Off to bed so I can try and get an earlier start :D.

    Night all.

    Hi everyone

    I've had a bad couple of days. Just let other things get in the way of me working. I am working now but have had to recalculate my finances for next month so things are going to be mega tight. I have enough for my bills but nothing left for food or petrol until mid July.

    I have a few things I can put on Ebay on Sunday to get some money coming in, not much though. I also have £21.90 in my purse which I am going to make last as long as possible.

    Getting into the surveys again has already provided me with trials of some crisp snack things (disgusting but will give my OH something to munch on instead of nicking my food) and a tube of toothpaste which is good as I was just about to buy one (unless that is disgusting too, it hasn't arrived yet).

    I think I have enough food to keep me going a couple of weeks and I have 100 miles in petrol so that should last me another week hopefully. I am foregoing topping up the mobile this month and will have to make do with my £2.92 credit - I have been using free texts on the net and email a lot more. I am also reusing my daily contact lenses - probably something I shouldn't really do but needs must and all that.

    I'm hoping some other things will crop up to help me out but all I can do now is keep my head down, work like mad and keep my purse in my bag!!

    Will update my to-do list for tomorrow now.

    Emily xx
