    Don't worry Mara....I appreciated the bum-kicking...I didn't take it personally or think it was harsh...I thought it was needed...

    I'm up to nearly £125....Just want to get slightly over that by 7pm and then take a break for an hour and come back for the Night Shift....

    Crimson....Sounds like you need a break so I hope you have a good time with Mum tonight....try to relax if you can...

    I'll get there tonight....I promise to stay on until 8am....I don't take my promises lightly...but that's what I'm going to do....So I will let you all know how I get on....Would be nice to be up to £175 by the morning....more if i can....but we shall see...

    Right....My Computer is over-heating so I'm going to switch it off and whatever I earn between now and 7pm will just have to be enough....

    I'll be back at 8pm....So I'll check in with you all then....

    Goodonya Helen, im going to be checking up on you tonight too, taking my I pad to bed .... Lol .

    £175 would be a good start. Almost enough to pay your mum for the week.
    And then you need enough for the council tax and that peachy loan and your mate. Just mentally stroke them off as you earn them.

    Oh and remember ..... Wonga is dead :D

    Bbl ... Hubby has a lovely new high powered rifle and we're off out to do some target practice in readiness for goose shooting season beginning soon .... Bang bang !
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    Hi Helen, glad that you stuck with it today.

    Think you did need that 'mini' kick up the bum as I could also see where your routine was headed - and it wasn't a good place lol! ;)

    Have been stalking throughout the day but couldn't post - and will continue stalking tonight so keep it up.

    It would be great to get to £175 by morning. Fingers crossed that you can do this.

    Crimson - really sorry to hear about your panic attack. I used to sort of have a similar thing when I had to do presentations at work. It was everyone focusing on me that I hated and I just used to go to pieces which wasn't helpful. Used to feel really stupid, even thought I knew my stuff.... Oh well, different career now which is good. :D
    :money:

    Hi Pesto and Mara and Anyone Else that is reading.... :D

    I don't mind being monitored all night....But do please get some sleep you lot....I'm not THAT interesting to stay up for all night long!! ;)

    Just off a 10 minute Call so that's a good start to the Night Shift and my Regular might, just might, be coming on around 10pm...not sure at the moment....we shall see!!

    I think you're right, I DID need a kick up the backside....still got the footprints!! LoL...But I'm back and raring to go....

    LoL...and OUCH, stop poking me with Knitting Needles will you!!! :D:D:D

    Seriously though....thank you everyone for the mini kick up the bum....really needed it....

    Not sure I'll make it to the magic £500 but I should still be able to pay Bills AND pay off that horrible Peachy Loan AND my Grandma AND my Friend Carol....so if I can do all that I will be happy....
