    You can do this! I've got faith in you.

    Hope Tescos have been and gone and you've had time to relax in the sun.

    EDIT: Hope you enjoy your Chippy dinner hun....start the diet on Monday ;)

    Tesco's were an HOUR late!!! :mad: I couldn't believe it....That means that I have had to start Work an hour late and haven't had time to go outside in the Sun....

    So I was supposed to start Work at 4pm and work through until 7pm....and then take a break and work again from 8pm until 8am....But what I've done instead is start at 5pm and take out the 7pm-8pm break....So I'll be working right through until 8am tomorrow morning....with little 15-20 minute breaks every 4-5 hours....

    So I'm not best amused at Tesco's....But on the plus side I phoned the Customer Services to complain and got the entire Delivery Charge refunded to my Bank Account....so that's an extra fiver I've got next Week....Which is good....

    So....I've started Work...and my first mini-target of the Evening is £34....sounds like a weird amount but it just worked out that way....I might round it up to do £35....we'll see how Work goes...

    I've got someone on at the moment who loves the sound of his own voice...LoL....So he should be on for a fair old while...I hope!!

    Feeling a bit tired....but still positive!!

    Just a point - why not get your shopping delivered at a different cheaper time? Cheapest is £3 which would save you £2 which is about 20 minutes work.

    Hmmmm will look into this....I never seem to see the £3 Delivery Charges but will definitely see if I can find one next time....

    I've just come off a 40 minute Call....which was VERY pleasant...chatting about America and Somerset....was lovely....

    So I'm up to £12 and some change....Not bad so far....Still aiming for £34....actually, I'll change it to £35 to a nice rounded figure....So I'm now aiming for £35 for my first mini-target...

    Problem is that the Phone has now gone dead....Just hope it livens up soon!!

    Have a rotten headache so I'm going to take some Tablets and CARRY ON!!!

    Cant beat a nicely rounded figure ;) .

    Chippy tea was good, parked up at the marina and looked at all the rich peoples yachts. We were watched by a flock of black back gulls looking hungrily at the chips ! Scary big birds !

    Being forced to watch Austin Powers on tv now ..... Geez i hate this film, will sneak out when hubby gets engrossed !

    Guess I will be hanging around in here for the evening :D
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    Hey Helen, hope the phones are keeping you busy and awake. Time for me to sleep, which you must be needing to do too. I hope you make target so you can get some rest before the big birthday lunch tomorrow. X

    Hi Guys.....You know that Headache I said I had? Well it turned into a fully-fledged Migraine....So I went to bed for a few hours to try and sleep it off....Have managed to do so mostly....It's still lingering but I DO feel better for having had some sleep....And at least I haven't slept throughout the Night which I would have done before now - Now I am up and awake and just about to Log On until 8am....

    There is no way to get to my £460 now....so I have looked carefully at my Budget and have managed to get it down to £350....Just about....I will have to be VERY careful next Week but it's do-able....Of course if I CAN earn more then I of course will do!!

    And WHEN I make my £350 I shall be VERY proud of myself for getting more than I have earned probably in Years....and certainly for the last 12 months....The most I've earned in ANY Week over the last 12 months is £230....So £350 is waaaaaaaaaay over that....

    So, not happy that I couldn't Work straight through but glad that I managed to get SOME sleep so I can Work in the best paid times between 2am and 8am....And I'll be Working later this Afternoon from 4pm onwards (earlier if I get back from the Party earlier)....

    Thank You for everyone's Support this Week....I really feel like I have turned a corner....It may not have been perfect this Week but it has been a darn-site better than it has been in the last 12 months....And a large part of that is about you Guys supporting me and not letting me give up...So thank you.

    Hi Helen, so how has your 2pm -8pm shift gone? How much have you earned so far??

    I think you should be proud of yourself for earning more this week than you have in years..... just keep it up.

    How much do you have to earn now to get to £350?? I would like to challenge you to reach a bit higher. Perhaps £375.

    Also, tomorrow (Monday) I would like you to look into Swagbucks (there is load of info. on it on the forums). It is something that you can do between calls. Doesn't pay loads, but easy stuff and can pay out cash into a paypal account.

    Good luck!
    :money:

    Morning Pesto Pasta....Hope you're well this morning...

    Can't stay long - Have to disappear for my Grandma's Birthday Meal soon - Have to go and get her Present first.

    Shift went fine....very quiet though but I still earned more than I would have if I had been in bed and earning nothing!!

    I'm up to £315 so far - So another £35 to go. I will be home by no later than 4pm and so will Log On from 4pm until 11pm and whatever I earn during that time will be great - As long as it's at least £35....

    Hmmm Swagbucks....I tried that before and couldn't get the hang of it.....but I'm more than willing to try again....Will have a look....I also want to look into Surveys and things like that....

    Still feeling REALLY proud of myself....As I said, I know this Week hasn't been perfect but I've done more hours this Week than in any Week during the last Year....I have been averaging about 25 hours a week which is NOT good enough....By the time I get to 11pm tonight I will have done 62 hours....so definitely MUCH better....but still LOTS of room for improvement!!

    So, going off to do Family things now.....I'll see you all later on xXx
