New day, new start. Glad you are feeling better this morning Helen.

Today I am challenging you to earn £20! You have all day until 5pm to achieve this. Are you up for the challenge???

bad news on the gremlins in the system - technology uh?:mad:

so what's todays target? I finished on £14 in about 6 hours all told so plan to get my head down today and do the £20 today. U up for the challenge?

DreamerHelen

Well it's now up and running again....It doesn't go down very often but when it does it's usually at THE most inconvenient times for me!! Like when I NEED to earn a certain amount of money....

Oh well...all sorted now and I'm all logged on....

Pesto Pasta....I'll take that Challenge....Just logged on and have until 5pm to earn £20...that'll take me to just over £100...So I hope it's busy this Afternoon!!

On the plus side - I went out to do some Food Shopping and bought a Scratchcard and WON £20...:j Yay!! I'm going to buy my Grandma's Birthday Present with some of it and save the rest...

So things are looking up....Slowly but surely....

PestoPasta

Hi Helen. Don't want to be picky, but thought you only had £2 until Saturday?? Did you come into some extra money??

Glad you are taking up the challenge - I am sure that your 'stalkers' will be online this afternoon to cheer you along. Good luck!

That's true....I didn't have any Food in the house so asked my brother to lend me some money until I get paid....I didn't borrow a lot and did NOT feel good about it....But on the other hand, I DO need to eat....And all I had in the house was Cereal and Milk which wouldn't really have kept me going....

Well I've earned the grand total of 32p so far...LoL....But all I can do is Work until 5pm and whatever I have earned by then will have to be enough....

I'm thinking maybe I will knock working during the day on the head as it really doesn't seem to be worth it....but I'll give today a shot and see what I come up with....

Grrrr @ you, Borrowing more and then spending some on a scratchcard !! Ok, So you got lucky this time, but if you hadnt ? £2 or £5 down the drain ! Will you behave woman or Im coming down there to put you over my knee ! < sweet smile > Use the change from Grans present to repay your brother at once !

Ok, so working during the day doesnt pay much, but what else would you be doing with that time if you werent on the phone, surely something is better than nothing? And 32p doesnt cut it, your challenge, which you accepted was £20. Dont give up on us now Helen, We believe you can do this.

DreamerHelen

I don't believe it...The bloody system is down again...I've spoken to them and apparently they've had problems since early this morning and throughout the morning.... :mad:

So, I'm not going to hit my £20 Target for today....

These past 24 hours has been AWFUL!!!! :mad:

I'm just going to give it up as a bad job and start again at 11pm tonight....I've got Supervision until 9pm...home by 10pm....have something to eat and start again at 11pm for the Night Shift....

I'll Work out my Target for the Night a bit later on and post it then...

Sooooo frustrated right now!!!!!!!!! :mad:

I didn't spend a lot on a Scratchcard but yes, fair enough....I'll accept your telling off....

I DID need some Food so that's why I borrowed some money....not the best thing to have to do but I can pay it back very soon....I wont leave it....

Fed up today....and just frustrated....

Dont be frustrated, youre doing well, Already earned more than last week and its only wednesday.You know you can do this if you apply your mind to it. Think how good its going to feel when you see one debt after another dropping off that list you made. Every one you kill will free up pennies to throw at the next one. And you have a goal to aim for, getting qualified and having a "proper" full time job, where you will be earning a regular wage and able to have those treats you want and have earned.
Why not set yourself a bigger goal ... maybe to be debt clear by 40, or even a little one, to clear 4 debts before Christmas.
Youve shown you can rise to the challenge, so go for it Helen, Go for it ! x

Thank You hun....That makes me feel a little better....Just frustrated at not being able to earn money...but yes, I'm already at £25 over what I earned last Week in the whole Week!!

I want to earn at least £40 tonight....that's on an Overnight Shift so I should be able to do that....Of course that is depending on the bloody system not going down again!! Hopefully they will fix it this Afternoon/Evening....

I have been thinking about it - I'm due to clear at least 5 Debts by the end of September which will be GREAT and means I can throw some money at my bigger Debts....so that would be good....

Life is not that bad....Just got to keep on going....
