  • Hi Emz
    so many movie buffs -- this is great!!
    I love Colin Firth - so glad he won an oscar!
    I love films - have a rather large DVD collection which I must do something about - maybe sell on ebay ?

    Hi Miaow - glad to welcome another film buff :D. I love cheesy chick flicks too. One of my favourites is Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!! Cheesy but so good :o.

    Glad that you remembered the name of that film Elantan. Thanks for posting the link for the reviews. I will check them out in a minute.

    We went to the cinema and saw Never Let Me Go. It was quite good. My OH said it was depressing which I guess it was but also very poignant. OH told me he didn't know what that meant. My vocabulary is wasted on him sometimes.

    It's March :beer: - and I WILL earn £1,500 this month.
    I have gotten off to a good start already - 60 questions done equaling £18.

    Now, I was going to mix this up a bit with some mystery shopping. However, the problem with a mystery shop is that by the time I have driven to wherever it is, done the actual shop and then gone home and written out the report, you are looking at 2-3 hours for maybe just a £5-£10 fee. Plus there's the petrol cost to add into the mix. So I have decided to leave it at just questions for now.

    £1,500 is 5,000 questions. I have worked out that at 170 a day for 31 days, I have a slack of 270 which I can use if I am going out one evening or need a day off (eg, I just get 100 questions done in a day because I am going out then I have my 270 reserve to dip into and I can still meet my 5k target). Clearly if I can do some questions over the 170 on some days then my reserve will get bigger.

    Pizza for lunch now (a £1 frozen one from Asda - they are delicious :D).

    One day down, 4,830 questions to go!!

    I did my 170 yesterday. I think that was good for the first day plus my OH was home last night so I had to pick him up etc. I always work better when I am alone.

    That's why today I am going for 200 questions. He is working away tonight so I can just knuckle down and get them done.

    Have a good day everyone

    Thanks Lou and Rock cakes

    Doing a bit rubbish so far this morning. Only done 36 questions. Just had a lovely letter from Moorcroft which interrupted my flow.

    My debt with them was £30 less than I thought which is good. I have agreed to pay a higher amount from next month (£80) so I really do need to earn my £1,500 now.

    All the idiot kept asking me was if I could clear the balance (£4,720). I laughed and said I wished that I could. He then asked if I could clear 'just half of it'. Yeah right, just a couple of grand then. :rotfl:

    It's under my mattress actually ;). I could wipe out all my debts in one go to be honest - I just really enjoy getting threatening letters and phone calls. It brightens up my day. :rotfl:
