  • Hello Everyone :wave:

    Just stumbled across this thread while feeling pretty despondant about 2012 so far - Lost my mum in October so was determined to make this year a good un, but so far almost lost the MIL, she is going to be fine but still in hospital so not a great start! Anyway, this thread seems a brilliant way to take some small steps and add some smiles to my life!!

    Today I have:

    • Rejoined the Make £10 a day for Feb challenge
    • Joined the Survey a Day challenge
    • Completed a £1 survey for valued opinions
    • Done a couple of pages of Toluna sponsored polls
    • Posted Ebay Parcels
    • Not killed Hubbie with Man Flu who is doing my head in :rotfl:


    Tomorrow I want to:


    • List 5 things in my Ebay shop
    • Schedule 5 second hand bits for sunday in case of free listing weekend
    • Write a DY review
    • Clean the kitchen sides and hob top
    • Get my SB up to 3000 (currently 2933)
    • Do another paid survey
    • Check another pile of books against Amazon trade in and Zapper
    • Send missing item form to Play for Christmas present that still hasn't arrived
    • Make small payment off my holiday balance
    • Put Music Magpie cheque in the bank

    Make £10 a day June 103.04/300


    Declutter 2018 in 2018 3/2018
