    Tuesday I will:
    1. Open the scary letters I've been putting off and pay the water rates! Done
    2. Clean the rabbit cage. Done
    3. Clean the rat cage. Done
    4. Clean the spare room. Done
    5. Trim dogs claws. Done
    6. Bath dog. Done
    7. Walk dogs Done
    8. Clean the living room. Done
    9. Do 2 lots of clothes washing. Done
    10. Sort through my mountain of magazines, clipping and filing articles and recipes I want to keep and recycling the rest. Done

    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
    Email our wedding photographer to finalise our album

    Well now what have i been doing all day? nothing off my list at all!!! :o

    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 odds :) I 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! Am delighted by that :)

    • update signature
    • wash hair
    • go to counselling
    • go to work
    • pay littlewoods installment
    • do washing up
    • charge phone and ipod at work
    • post ebay parcel
    • take dvd back
    • draw out cash for monthly spends budget and grocery budget

    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
