Scuba's Second try - Sink or Swim!

scubaangel

Well assignment done and submitted - highly unlikely to be better than a scraped pass mark but that'll do for me right now, am about to stick my head in to the printer to see if I can get that working again so I can start doing the work for the longer assignment while I'm at work over the next week before I need to type and submit that one.

Quite tempted to look at the next interactive assignment in the hope that I'll look at it and smile because it should look significantly easier than the last two given it's back to Biology which I can do, and do actually understand!

Gave up on everything except the hunt for food which took me on the short walk to the pub for a meal instead of the significantly longer walk to the shops to buy stuff I'd then need to cook.

Couple of glasses of wine later I'm home and making a dent in the contents of one of my boxes of wine in the fridge since my planned company for the evening didn't materialise (either the diver who was going to take me up to visit another dive club, nor the friend who was going to come and drink with me).

Happily just managed to finish a survey for GTM which took me over the redemption threshold so a cheque for the sterling equivalent of $50 will be on its way to me in the next couple of months. Everytime I get to redeem for them I sit and think I'll drop them but then I never actually do....so this time I won't even pretend to consider it, they're a slow earner but quite frankly I'd rather earn slowly than earn nothing at all.

Hmm I have decided that I am far to easily pleased.

I have been paid for various small favours today by three ice lollies, 2 coffees and a promise of a large vodka at some point soon. These things mean I am feeling utterly content and happy with the world.

Since getting home from work though I have annoyingly missed a phone call from the diverdude - he never leaves messages so I've no idea what he wanted as when I called back his phone was off.

I have however reached the daily target on SB so can safely go climb in to my bed as soon as the episode of Criminal Minds I'm watching ends (trying to work through some of the accumulated dross on the tivo box).

Have also won an extra music thingy on ebay to connect to the main thingamujigger in the living room, but had forgotten that my paypal and bank had become unlinked, although the seller is fairly local so have sent a message asking if they're willing to do cash on collection, and explaining the situation so they know I'm not trying to duck out of paying or muck them around.

So after my overtime I may have been dragged down town for a drink or two. May or may not have ended up agreeing to give two of the blokes (ones a mate the others his best mate) a lift home to avoid one of them getting in to a scrap, and may have wound up sleeping on the common room sofa thus having to do another 'not a real walk of shame' walk of shame out of camp this morning.

Mystery shop notes printing ready for lunch tomorrow, need to go sort out my clothes since I need to take them with me to work tomorrow, I've also got to go in to town to post some things for a friends boyfriend.

Also got my OU assignment stuff printed so I can do some work on it at some point tomorrow as well.

Lunch shop cancelled thanks to my 'date' being called in to work first thing

So instead I came home and had a nice afternoon snooze instead, probably should have gone for a run but sleep seemed more fun, and am now off back to work for the evening.

Collected my ebay thingumajigger this morning, so spent £60 but saved myself the £15 the postage would have cost for the time taken to drive the 20 mile round trip - during which time I discovered the actual location of the garden centre in which the recommended aquatics shop is located. I popped in for a look around whilst I was passing, and may have spent a good 30 minutes watching the seahorses they have for sale....

I got home to find a rare sight in my inbox, an email from greenmetropolis telling me I've sold a book and even better its a relatively small one so the postage should be fairly cheap and as I need to go to the post office tomorrow to sort out my new diving license I can get it all done at the same time.

I've also hit the swagbucks target for the day, and am considerably closer to my aim of redeeming for £100 paypal cash by the end of june, I need around 3000SB to get there so need to max out all the things I can do for the next few weeks - of course if any of my referrals actually used the site it would be easier!
Am also just over 2000 points on superpoints which means I'm closer to cashing out of there too, although I'm not sure if its worth keep doing that one unless I can get some referrals to move up levels to increase the earning potential.
Zoombucks is the other one I think if I had more time I could get more value from, but again think once I've cashed out the first time will drop.

Managed to book myself some lovely profitable mystery shops to be done Tuesday and Wednesday before I go to work - will mean a couple of earlier mornings than I'm keen on but with fees an average of 2.5x the usual they'll be worth it when they get paid, plus means on Wednesday it'll be vastly easier to get the train to and from work than it will be to drive for a change.

And on that note I really ought to be thinking about heading towards my bed since I am back at work in a mere 8 hours.

Mystery shops done, and written up nice and early today for a change, swagbucks target met and exceeded, and I had a fairly nice run (as good as running can be anyway) apart from the being half eaten to death by small flying things, gah, time to get the repellant out as part of my pre run routine me thinks!
