Afternoon all
Little bit of cheating here as posting later in the day so can cross things off as soon as I write them
- Daily clicks - done
- One Poll - done
- Mystery Shopping - checked but only one available 130 miles away, think they have got that wrong. Does not feel very MSE to travel 260 miles to earn £5!!!
- Rec'd cheque from Pet Insurers so must pay that in
- Walk the dogs (currently snoring away after having lunch!)
- Cook tea and prepare for tomorrow
- Check Toluna see if survey points added, close to a £15 voucher at the moment
- Attack the ironing again tonight whilst watching TV. House rule is whoever is ironing has control of the remote.
