    Well, the last 2 days have gone by in a blur of not doing much and watching movies!! Naughty naughty me :o.

    I don't like wasting my time doing nothing. So I think a list is in order. If I have a list of 10 things a day and get them done, I won't feel as if I've done nothing (which is basically how I feel about the last 2 days).

    So, today's list:
    1. [STRIKE]Pay mobile bill[/STRIKE]
    2. [STRIKE]Contact insurance company about the repairs to my car (yep, that's still ongoing!)[/STRIKE] The guy still hasn't admitted that he hit my car and the witness still hasn't returned the form - men!!
    3. [STRIKE]Send off my DD form for water bill[/STRIKE]
    4. [STRIKE]Do a load of washing[/STRIKE]
    5. Do at least 100 questions
    6. Do at least 10 surveys
    7. Put 2 things on Gumtree
    8. Run free bingo in the background
    9. [STRIKE]Check Nectar Adpoints for videos[/STRIKE] - 38 points today
    10. Check One Poll

    Forgot to add, £10 payment made to debt 1 on Friday.

    I've just started that too Emz, also 10 things a day! Feels nice and achievable without being an overwhelmingly long list.

    I'm just making sure that mine has job 1 as list 10 things on eBay everyday :)

    Evening everyone and :easter:

    Just posting before I go to bed. Not been on for a few days. Been enjoying a bit of 'me' time. Had a good day today. Got a few eggs and spent time with my niece and nephew playing with their new toys. Also watched the tennis final. So pleased that Andy Murray won, although it was a tough match. I felt exhausted just watching it, so god knows how they felt.

    OH is back tomorrow. I have enjoyed the time to myself, but I have also missed him. Probably won't be thinking that by Wednesday though! ;)

    Anyway, April is just around the corner (literally) and I'm determined to make it a good month. It's my 32nd birthday on the 25th, so looking forward to that. Going to really try and get a to-do list sorted in the evenings for the following day. I need to be more pro-active and get things done. So here's tomorrow's list:
    1. Do 100 questions
    2. [STRIKE]Check Nectar adpoints for videos[/STRIKE] 14 points today
    3. Do 5 surveys
    4. [STRIKE]Call the hospital to confirm appointment[/STRIKE]
    5. Reach the daily target on Swagbucks
    6. [STRIKE]Complete an offer on Quidco[/STRIKE] completed an offer that nets me £1.50 profit
    7. [STRIKE]Complete an offer on TCB[/STRIKE] completed an offer worth 70p
    8. [STRIKE]Find a free calorie counting app and download it (for weight gain, not weight loss)[/STRIKE]
    9. [STRIKE]Play free bingo to try and redeem for £5 credit on Cheeky[/STRIKE] redeemed for £5
    10. [STRIKE]Check Onepoll for surveys[/STRIKE] didn't qualify for any paid surveys today, but apparently I'm being sent a product to test and will get paid £5 for it

    Right, off to bed for me.

    Night everyone :)

    *Emz shuffles in with her head down*

    Okay, the lists didn't work. I'm not sure if I'm organised enough for a list. I think they might have the opposite effect on my motivation.

    Anyway, OH is back.....and he's dying from a cold. His fault, he went skiing after all, although he is adamant that he actually got it from the plane on the way back. However he caught it, he is doing my head in!!

    I did an MS job today and got £3 worth of free shopping (although in reality that was only bread, milk and a packet of biscuits). Also earned £5 for it. I received some free body lotion too from a Bzz Agent campaign. 2 full sized bottles, so I'm chuffed with that. I had a load of free samples to dish out too.

    OH says he's feeling a bit better today, so I guess is life is no longer in danger.

    Managed to get a few mystery shops allocated to me today, including one at a toy shop where I get to buy something for £9 and get it reimbursed (as well as a £16 fee). I think I'll take the opportunity to get something for my niece's birthday next month.

    Also done a bucket load of surveys, so expect those vouchers to come rolling in soon.
