Ok, it took me a couple of days but I did it. Sorting the water rates was a relief, I was really worried but they arranged for me to pay in installments and are sending me information on switching to a meter to save money.
Today I will:
Clean the cooker top
Write a cover letter
Apply for 2 jobs
Walk the dogs
Ring work to confirm my shifts for next week
Clear the clutter off the kitchen table so we can actually eat off it!
Make dinner
Sweep the kitchen

Well now what have i been doing all day? nothing off my list at all!!!
I haven't been doing nothing but have had one of those faffing days where i do wee bits here and there. Just wasn't feeling able to do much so i just didn't!
One of the things i did manage to do was update my blog with my online earnings to date and i was extremely pleased to find that to be £256 oddsI started my online earning in June 2011 so an average of roughly £40 per month (as i didn't actually do much the first month and was just trying to find sites to use).
I haven't included any ebay sales or mystery shopping earnings etc in that total either, this is purely via survey sites and get paid to sites - £40 a month is a great figure to boost my income by and really helps me to pay off my debts!

I have just returned from the Dr's - I have been given another month off work.
I'm relieved but also I want to get better soon so that I can do the job I love"One hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much was in my bank account, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little bit better because I was important in the life of a child."0 -
