Went to pick my niece up, came back and I've got another 3 survey jobs. My total now for 11 jobs is £150. This means I can spend 3 days doing them (although I will lose a little bit of the £150 - I think around £10-£15 on expenses). However, if I can get them done in 2 days, then that's my extra £50 that I was missing (plus the £17 cheque I'm expecting to offset any losses).

So the aim is to do as much as I possibly can for all 11 surveys over the weekend and then fit in the bits I can't do after I've earned my £50 each day.

Hmm, make that £180 for 13 surveys. It's going to be a busy weekend .

Okay, these surveys are more soul-destroying than I thought. The thought of a cheque for £180 is going to have to get me through.

So far, all I've done is place the orders from 10 of the websites. 3 of them have to be done on an iPhone, so I'm going to have to wait for OH to get back so I can use his (can't wait until 8th August so I can order mine :j).

It has cost me £56 so far to order from them, but I will get most of that back when I process the refunds (going to lose around £10 so far).

Going to have my lunch and then complete a section followed by 5 mins tidying up. Hoping that breaking them up like that will be more bearable.

Emz hangs her head in shame

I've been so bad. I've hardly done any work over the past few days. I was doing so well - I'm really disappointed in myself .

Spent yesterday morning at the doctors with my mum. She now has pleurisy (not sure if that's how you spell it). So her chest is really painful for her. I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning her flat.

On Sunday, OH came back from holiday, but has had a blazing row with his parents. It's all over money - nothing to do with me, so I am keeping my nose out.

They have a really strange family set-up. They don't like each other's side of the family (aunt's uncles etc). My OH doesn't like either side. They hardly see or speak to each other and the way they talk to each other sometimes is disgusting. I thought OH and his parents were close at least, but they're all being so childish about a stupid issue.

I can see why my OH doesn't understand my family now. We are all very close, even cousins, aunts, uncles etc. We don't bad mouth each other and if we need help, we ask someone else in the family. I know which family I would rather be a part of!!

Anyway, back to my money issues. I don't think I'll reach £1,200 now. Especially as I have a hospital appointment a week tomorrow, so that's basically half the day gone. So I'm just going to do as much as I can.

We're off to the cinema tonight to see Spiderman. Really looking forward to it. I love superhero movies .

Thanks Lou . I will enjoy the movies. Been wanting to see it for ages, but where OH has been away, I couldn't.
