    Lol the dog sitting I love. She's a gorgeous blue staffie and on Sunday I'm making her a doggie ice-lolly and we may have a BBQ :)

    I panic about not being home. For various reasons. I just don't feel the house is safe without me in it. Even though my housemate lives here also.

    I will be within walking distance of my parents though :)

    I'd love to do like going to people's homes whist they're away and taking care of animals/children. I'm just weird though lol

    May even post you all a pic :)

    Wow, is it still daylight where you are? That's cool....but I can imagine it's annoying....

    It's turning into a good night so far....

    Well so far I'm up to nearly £45....so nearly halfway to my Target...which isn't bad....I don't think I'm going to get to sleep at 8am though....but we'll see how the rest of the Night goes....

    I really DO need to make £100 if I can....but I also need some sleep at some point because I've got my Tesco Delivery coming between 2pm and 3pm and then I want to get back on the Phone's in the Afternoon...so the morning is the only time I can sleep....

    Still, if I only get a couple of hours that will have to suffice for this Weekend....My Target is more important!!

    It's normal for me to have my longest-hold Regular Call me on a Saturday or Sunday morning and he regularly stays for between 4 and 6 hours....so that would be REALLY great if he phoned right about now....But we'll see....

    Still awake, still feeling positive....a bit tired but not overly tired....so I'm confident I can make it to at least 8am, if not beyond that....

    Well so far I've made £67 and some change since 8pm last night....and I've still got 2 and a half hours to go until 8am....I want to earn another £33....so it will probably take longer than 8am unless I get a Regular that stays for 2 or 3 hours....

    I'm starting to flag a little.....I've been awake and Working since 7am yesterday morning....I worked out that I will have Worked 23 hours when I've Worked until 8am....that's one hell of a thing for me to be proud of...and it's a GREAT feeling....

    So far this Week I've made £252....Now, the most I have made in the last 12 months in ANY Week was £230....so I have surpassed that....and I'm going to smash that by the end of the Weekend.

    I've told Mum that I will obviously still come out for Grandma's Birthday because they've booked a table at a posh restaurant....but I won't stay for the Afternoon, I'll come straight home after the Meal....that should give me plenty of time to come home and Work tomorrow Afternoon and Evening.

    So, all in all here's the Summary - Flagging a bit but definitely going to stay until 8am at the least....but feeling really proud of myself.

    Okay, so I made £80 in Total last night....Not quite the £100 that I wanted but I DID work the 12 hours that I planned...I stuck out the course and did it....

    Since I started Work yesterday morning at 7am I have made £135 which is not bad....

    I still have £195 to earn this Weekend - I hope it's possible...I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure it happens.

    I can't Work anymore this morning....I'm exhausted....so I'm going to sleep for 3 hours only and then Work from 11am until 1.30pm, then I have my Tesco Delivery from 2pm until 3pm but they sometimes come a little early or late so I'll finish at 1.30pm just in case. Then I'll start Work again as soon as they have delivered everything which could be as early as 3pm or as late as 3.30pm/4pm...it depends - Tesco are notoriously bad for coming late!! But hopefully I'll be lucky today.

    Then I'll be Working from 3pm/3.30pm/4pm (depending) until 7pm....take an Evening Meal break and then Work 8pm until 8am. Then go out with Family and not sure when I will be back as I'm not sure when the Meal is booked for but I'm aiming to start Work again at 4pm, hopefully a little earlier if I can, and Work right through until 11pm when I take another hour's break and then start the new Week all over again at Midnight.

    So that's the Plan for the next 2 days - I'm fitting in as much Work as I can and trying not to think about not getting much sleep!! I'll manage without.

    So, that leaves me with a Target of £8.13 per hour on Average so that's what I'm going to Work with and hope that it's busy, bearing in mind that I'll probably earn more tonight but who knows....it really depends. I AM aware that I only earned about £6.50 on Average per hour in the last Shift so I can only hope. My Budget CAN be trimmed just a little if it HAS to be....but not by much....And I really DO want to hit that £460 Target so I'm going to do my Utmost to get there.

    Sorry for the long diatribe...Just wanted to get that all out before I hit the sack.

    I'll be back at 11am to start the next bit....

    Night Night All xXx
