    I will try and do 10 challenges a day.

    Today I have:

    1) had an NSD
    2) spent the whole morning looking for a job
    3) had contact with hairdresser who has moved to a swanky new salon and has offered me 50% discount when I get back on my feet:cool:
    4) washed up
    5) took bin bag out to the bin - the first time in 2 weeks.
    6) did a consumerpulse survey to net me 2000 points (currently have 61700 points which is equivalent to £61 which I will take in vouchers)
    7) did a survey to net me £1

    I have 3 left to do today - must try and peel apples and stew them with the blackberries and then freeze them in batches for pies.
    Type letters (I have composed them but they need tweaking)
    Sort out auction catalogue.
  • Ok heres my 3....or more if my brain works. ;)

    * Surveys - done quite a few today, so much so they've all ran out of ones for me to do :p
    * Bingo - going mad in the background while I browse
    * Earned some spud shillings
    * Finished sorting out all paperwork and shredded old stuff....filing cabinet can breath now
    * Found some old agreements with PPI. :T
    * Had a NSD!!

    That's 6....double for my day off. :A
    You have to start to finish.

    You should have seen my first one :o:rotfl:it didn't look anything like a monkey :rotfl:

    glad to say i got better though and actually sold quite a lot before xmas last year. Had too many orders to complete actually. SO am hoping to sell them this year and put money in savings (instead of frittering like last year :o)

    I'm also making them as gifts though as i promised some last year and was so busy i never made them!!! SO one each for my nephews/nieces i think lol
