Thanks Mara, Knit Witch and Upsidedown Bear....I love that you are all stalking me.... :rotfl:
EDIT: And Shovel Lad
Well I actually logged on 15 minutes early....I didn't want to wait any longer....so I thought I'd log on....
So far have made £3....not much but every little bit helps....And I'll get to my £35....I'm determined....
I've currently got a Regular on the Phone who can sometimes stay for an hour or more....so fingers crossed!!
Anyway....Just to say - I'm still here...and all logged on...and will be staying logged on until I've hit my £35 Target...0 -
So......Drum Roll Please........

I am now at £60 and some change.... :j :j :j
Decided to get just about 4 hours sleep....and now am up again to do some more Work.....I was going to carry on Working last night after I'd hit the £60 mark but I had been on a conversation for a few hours and was really tired....Plus I figured that I would be able to sleep better at night rather than trying to sleep in this heat during the daytime....
So I'm logging on in about 2 minutes....The first Target I want to make today is £40....Not sure how long that will take as it's during the daytime and could take a while....but maybe I'll get a few long Calls and it will clock up pretty quickly....We shall see....but that's my first Target for today which will bring me up to £100 for the Week so far!!
I can't believe that it's only Tuesday and I've already made what I made in the whole week last Week!!! I'm feeling really proud of myself for sticking to my Goals....
AND I've beaten Pesto Pasta's Goal for me....Care to set me a new one hun?
A bit tired.....but feeling really proud....
Here's to the next £40....0 -
Wtg you !! Ill be at my desk in a few minutes too, will we have a coffee break together at ten ? Lol xxIts just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:0

Sounds like a plan hun.... What do you have planned for today....?
Got my first Call of the day....and it's a Regular, which is great....he usually stays for about 20 minutes so that'll be a good way to start the day....0 -
Today .. I shall be mostly processing invoices, pricing some of the lovely new stock that has just arrived and if I can get away with it later, walking around the yard with a clipboard trying to look busy out in the sunshine

LoL....Bad girl....trying to get some Sunshine!!
I try to avoid the Sunshine as much as I can....I hate it...But I know there are some out there that DO love it...so I'll let you off 
Well I'm up to about £6 so far....Not too shabby...
I don't know what it is about this Week....But I feel REALLY determined to meet my Target....And so I will do.... :T0 -
Well, as Pestos not around yet, How about aiming for £25 again before you log off for lunch ? Im off to do some work before I catch myself skiiving on the net ! lolIts just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:0

Well I've already set a Target of £40 before I log off....so that's what I want to get....And I'm already at £8...YAY!! :j
I'm not hungry yet anyway....I had this HUGE HUMUNGOUS Calzone Pizza yesterday....was AMAZING....it had Cheese (of course!!), Onions, Mushrooms and Spinach and Chorizo...was incredible...but ENORMOUS....so I'm still full from that I think :rotfl:
I just hope my Hayfever keeps under control today....I can feel it simmering in the background....But I have this Stuff that I put under my nose which is supposed to stop the Pollen from coming in....and it seems to Work...so I can't complain....I just get an itchy nose every now and again at the moment and that's just annoying...but bearable...!!0 -
Helen, you are going great guns. Really really proud of you.
Mara - great target. £25 sounds like a good amount to achieve before you log off Helen. Don't try to push yourself too hard as if you fail you will probably get dejected. So I am going with Mara, and setting you a £25 goal before you can log of today. Let me know when you achieve it.:money:0 -
Morning Pesto Pasta hun.....Okey Dokey, I'll take that challenge of £25 and aim to smash it.....

I've just taken a 5 minute Break to Phone my Grandma to see how she is....and now I've logged back on....
I'm only at about £9....It's been really slow this morning....But I'll still get there....0
