Crikes! Thats an impressive list Fairy. I am in awe of those who go onto sites and build up credits/money/freebies. I wouldn't know where to start.
For someone who is finding it hard to do the positives, (I know how this feels) you are doing a brilliant job.
Very inspirational Fairy.
Just goes to show that we can all find some positives if we look hard enough
Thank you and kind regards

Aw thanks so much for your lovely post slowdown with regard to the sites to use its just about picking a couple and seeing how you get on with them. I had never done any online earning (apart from ebay) before June this year and felt rather overwhelmed with it all too - thats why i decided to write my blog about it - meant i could try it and see but with having a record of what worked and what didn't LOL! So far i think i am up to almost £100 earning on different survey sites etc

Sometimes i think my issue is about recognising what i have actually managed to do (hence the importance of this challenge for me!!) and sometimes it is just ok if sleeping or watching tv is a positive then i can say i have done something :rotfl::rotfl:

I really surprised myself about what i had achieved yesterday, and was delighted to read everyone elses achievements too so it just reminded me about why i should log in

Thanks Aesop and well done on voucher # 3 progress

Thanks suzitiger too for letting me know about the free listings weekend - i think i will try and list some 99p ones today as well (cos i said i was going to list 5 things LOL!) but we will see

soooooooooo what have i done today then (still sitting in jammies, but apart from that :rotfl:)

played free game on jpj and won wait for it 20p

finished my elephant ear last night and am now doing another leg!

cashed out another £5 on swagbucks - figured out it was just 6 days since last £5 on their so if i can keep that going thats £25 per month or if i can push it even more and get it down to 5 days thats £30 per month

entered about 10 comps not really sure why i entered ones for nappies mind you :rotfl:

talked to OH about doing a press release for the new business as a way of promoting it in the local town.

got a couple of new referrals for swaggers - i love just telling everyone about this site (and i get a wee bonus of some points too which is always nice too)

joined onepoll +

completed 2 surveys on one poll (up to £12.90 now )

one poll cashback - daily earners done (now up to £28.74 )

Have so many ideas for craft things at the mo i have bits of things everywhere - i am going to plunder through all my stuff and write a list of things that need finished hopefully that will encourage me to finish some :rotfl::rotfl:

hmmmmm off to do a few more wee bits now so i will have more later LOL!

Hi all
Just checking in with a few positives. Its a good job I discovered this forum as I think I may have stayed in front of the tv with the miraculously self -filling cup of wine instead of trying to remember things that have been achieved today.
29. did a bit of tidying up in the kitchen before leaving for work to stop myself getting fed up with the place looking like armageddon when I got home
30. went for a lunch time walk despite the freezing fog and drizzle
31. finished a couple of work tasks that have been hanging over me for a while
32. snuggled up in front of the fire with the Jess the cat
33. ate two cakes at work (calling this a positive as it could easily have been five!)
34. still putting off handing over the reddies to Mr B.Gas though am now under mountainous quilt and dressed like Ebeneezer Scrooge.

Fairy, aesop and others thanks for giving me advice on how to find out about earning extra bucks on the internet. I might just give it a go. I will set about collecting time credits to think it through. As for sleeping and watching tv as positives? Marvellous pastimes I believe. Beats half slogging yourself to death on the old treadmill of life any day. Hooray for 'naughty' pastimes I say. Most things can be positive if you look at them from the right angle. (Even cake eating!)
Happy positives

I also made an attempt at doing some calculations from my sales on there but gave up after about 20 mins of staring at post office reciepts - think i will just do a guestimate instead

made some pea and ham soup

got swaggers points up to 164 since claiming this morn oh and OH now has an account too :rotfl:

Just popping in to list Saturday's positives.
35. got up early and scooped up horse poo from funreral director's fields into car (he runs horse drawn funerals)
36. spread said poo onto vegetable patch
37. bought DS1 birthday present for tomorrow
38. took DS1 and friend bowling in evening (my idea of a nightmare)
39. only drank a small amount of alcohol
40. Still defying Mr B. Gas. Long live global warming. (joke btw)

I think all of these may be conteracted by the effect of me spending way too much money but now have enough food to last until payday I hope though beans may be on the menu once or twice (a day!!!!)

Used up time credits in bowling alley contemplating the enormous range of people who enjoy having loud music, screaming kids, competitive bolshy men, burberry clad teenagers as part of their saturday night entertainment. Can you tell I live in Essex?

Happy Sunday to all

Oh my bad...not been here. Truth be told, have been feeling pretty rotten. Anyway, am not gonna try and catch up with the week, let's just go for yesterday and today.

Saturday:
1. Topped up on the food cupboard, was good and went to the market and L1d1, instead of taking the easy option and going to sainsbugs. Sure I must have saved a few quid.
2. DD is catching the thrift bug, and is making her xmas presents this year, all food. So joined her in the search for ingredients at lower prices: Market, and the Asian stores.
3. Yuummy, yummy dinner, with a bottle of wine I didn't buy. Nice treat.

Today:
1. 2 loads of washing on the line, such a lush autumn day here in London.
2. Bread made, ran out during the week, so made double.
3. Started a dairy here.


2 x:) please.

Thank you.

40. went for a walk in beautiful sunshine with DH
41. spectated at DS1 rugby match where they won
42. had an afternoon snooze
