    Evening :)

    So, quite productive day moneywise today:
    • I have won £10 on JPJ and withdrawn it
    • Met my daily target on Swagbucks and redeemed for a £5 Amazon voucher
    • Managed to turn a £4 free bingo win into a £60 withdrawal on the slots :D

    So, whilst I haven't actually done much work today, I have made £70, so I'm really pleased :).

    We got some memory foam type stuff from OH's parents and have revamped our sofa a bit. The seat cushions were getting a bit uncomfortable, so we've added a layer of the foam and they are much better now.

    OH has purchased a load of meat which is now residing in our freezer. Think I'm going to have to learn how to cook!! I've never really tried to cook properly, so I don't even know if I'm rubbish at it or not. What shall I start off with to ease myself into it?

    Some lovely recipes on BBC Good Food Emz - and they are rated by difficulty and reviewed by people who've cooked them.

    It's pretty much the only place I use for recipes now :)

    Hi DF, hope you enjoyed your time off.

    I think I've got a cold coming on, hopefully it won't come to anything. I've got the hospital a week Friday so that's all I need :(.

    I've just completed my second article. It was only 2 stars, but I just need to take what I can get I think.

    Hope you feel better soon Emz, fingers crossed it's not a cold coming.

    I've just completed another 2* article as well - I'm thinking the same, best just to get some done to build up the feedback.

    Have you seen that 2 star Russian one on there at the moment?? Don't think I could cope with that one :rotfl:

    Just looked - they don't want much do they?! :rotfl:

    The one I've just done was tooth whitening for the over 50s of all things :rotfl:

    The one I did was about tooth whitening for smokers. Found it easier than my first article.

    I was going to click on that one when it disappeared - now I know who stole it! :rotfl:

    I didn't find it too hard either - think it helped seeing the standard currently on their website and thinking at least mine couldn't be as bad as that!
