    Hi Helen, you are doing well today. You WILL get to £490 I am certain! And once you get there, you should have a bit of a rest. It is only just after 3pm so I wouldn't worry about not meeting your target. You are on track to achieve it...

    I have had a very lazy day, but just cleaning the house now. Washing floors/hoovering etc etc Made some lunch for everyone. Today is definitely a write-off as I said earlier, but it has been nice not to do too much...

    Thanks hun....I know I'll get to my Target....I am determined to get there and, as you say, it's only 3pm....so I've still got plenty of time...

    I'm nearly at £460 now....thanks to my loyal Regular....bless him....So, another £30 to go!! I can usually do that in about 5 hours but it depends on how busy it is....

    I'm just going to take a half hour break right now....Just to get some relaxation in...make a few Phone Calls....and I'll be back at 4pm....

    Texts also going well this Afternoon so that's good....

    Glad to hear you've had a good day Pesto hun....Hope you're feeling a bit less hungover now ;)

    Well its Sunday night of course...I forgot about the Sunday Night curse!! I haven't had a Phone Call in about 15 minutes so far....

    So, I'm up to £472....The absolute Minimum I can survive on this Week is £475...so, another £3 and I think I'm going to call it a week....

    I think I need to get some Sleep before I start again at Midnight....

    I'm sorry if I've let you down Mara....I just know there is no way of getting to £500....I wish I could!!

    Anyway....When I get my £475 then I'll come back and declare the exact earnings for the Week and how many hours I've done....

    Sorry if I've let anyone down....I really HAVE done all I could do this Week and do feel proud of myself that I've done £130 over what I did last Week....

    Next Week will be even better....I'm determined!! But have to accept that some of it is out of my control....All I can control is the amount of hours that I log in....

    I'll be back to declare my Totals in a little while....

    So here you go, here are my Totals for the Week.

    I've done a total of 95 Hours and £475.06

    Not bad....I think I've done really well....Waaaaaay over my Target for last Week but not as much as I wanted to do....I will try to remember that Sunday's are just the kiss of death and I won't Work those if I can help it!!

    Anyway....I'm off to bed now....I'll be back at Midnight...I'll put down what I'd like to do in hours and money for next Week with the proviso that I can tweak it if I need to - It's just what I'd LIKE to do....But I definitely want to do more than this Week....

    Night Night All...See you at Midnight....
  • Thats bloody fantastic! Well done.

    Its far better to set realistic targets than set unrealistic ones and give up early cos its far too much. Enjoy your sleep, you deserve it :). xx

    Sorry i've not been around today Helen, been working since 09:30 and still there now, almost 12 hours :( had a little break to go pick up my daddys birthday present but that's it. Still not finished but since i'm the only one in I've had my music on and watched a film (whilst working) so its not been too bad. Getting sleepy now though and i have to get up and be back here in the morning..... do you think anyone will notice if i just sleep under the desk? lol

    Well done with your total although i do think you gave up too early today and you could have hung around and got a little more but i understand you've worked really hard and youre probably sleepy.

    Catch up soon x

    Hi Helen, that's great. You are doing well. When you think only two weeks ago you earned only £60! This is becoming second-nature to you now I think. The main thing is to keep it up. If you can earn money like this (or more) then slowly slowly those debts will go down.

    Also Helen, keep an eye on your spends and keep them as low as possible. It is hard to earn that extra £5 sometimes, so just make sure you are not wasting all your hard effort on spends that are not improving your life.

    Hope you are enjoying your well deserved sleep.
