I was checking all my sites this morning to update my spreadsheet and saw that I could claim a £10 voucher from VO, then checked my Paypal and had £20 in there to withdraw so nice week again.

Yay - crown day, and i got one. Can't believe i am back up to £6 already on DY after scrabbling round last week for pence.


Elysia just checked, and there is one now. ????? It definitely wasn't there yesterday. Oh well.

I hope there is lots of surveys to do today.

Afternoon everyone. Didn't manage the challenge yesterday. I got 35p on OP before getting stressed with how long it took, did a review on DY and thats about it

So far today I've done £3 on piney. Was meant to be having a crown fitted (at the dentist not DY :rotfl:) but they have cancelled so I've got a couple of weeks to get the balls up to go through with it!

Michelle - I doubled checked and it wasn't there, apparently the file size was too large - if they'd have said that at the time, I would have reduced it first. Grrrr. Thanks for telling me about it.

Rufus - well done.

Just back off out again in a minute, but just popped on to say - my S&S voucher came today - so yours should follow soon, if you ordered one.

elysia - sorry this reply is a couple of days late. BT decided to cut through a power cord for the house so only had internet on my laptop for the 2 hours the laptop works and then i realised i didn't reply. so sorry about that.

i shall look for you on DooU when i next go on there. trying to avoid going on there today so i can do other stuff i've been meaning to do XD but i will find you at some point! i'll have another look at the other site some time as well, although again, i shall probably leave that today as i really need to do some surveys

Hi guys, sorry I have been a bit awol.
Had a lovely week away with the children, they loved every minute and as a plus dh and I went in for the talent comp and won a free weekend away for the final in the beginning of Nov. :j

We got home a week and half ago and life has been one long stress and mess since then tbh. I came back to find I had messed up a load of avon orders and had not placed them and didn't even have the orders anymore. I think I recycled them. The customers involved have all been really nice about it and have been with me about 2 yrs so know it's not like me but I felt awful. Let them down and lost the money for me. Really need the money at the mo, we spent next to nothing on the hols as we didn't have it and are o/d on the bank and up to out limit on our cc. Also had to spend all we had saved for xmas .
Just feel so tired and stressed with everything. I am doing so much but it all pays peanuts. Have the twins all day, doing the avon, working 2 nights 5-10 a week in a local restaurant and my course on Thursdays and surveys whenever I can fit them in. I'm exhausted.
On the plus side my childminding course finishes in about 4 weeks. Did see someone else is about to start one so if you need any advice just ask. Once that is done I can start hopefully earning a bit more money and the evenings are only till Oct and in Sept the twins start preschool full time. I'll prob moan I'm bored then!! lol


I have kept up with this months challenge and only 1 day have I had to pay the penalty which is lucky as I couldn't afford more

Hope all are well, I did try to catch up with all the posts but they are struggling to stay in my brain!!!

Take care all

Well done Jayne on winning the talent competition, what was your talent? Sorry things are hard at the moment, but looks like things will get better over the next few months so keep your chin up xx

Stepmum - however hard it might seem, at least you had the money you earned so far to pay for the hols stuff. Sort out what you can with the avon, and just get back on the horse. It is still 6 months till xmas, and you can make a difference. Someone worked out over £500 if we did £2.50 a day between now and then.

Some people have even less than that don't they, so you could be doing even worse than you think you are. And you have another hols to look forward too. Great news there.
