In my 33rd year, it's time to get cracking...

Hi CBC

Paypal can be a right pain in the backside sometimes. OH has had problems with his account before.

I've watched a bit of the tennis, but haven't been religiously watching it as Murray hasn't been in it . My highlight was Tsonga beating Federer. I think Tsonga would be my favourite if Murray wasn't around. I just watched most of the final. I would have preferred Ferrer to win, but Nadal is practically impossible to beat on clay. Can't believe those stupid protesters, especially the one who came on the court with the flare. What idiots - you would never get that at Wimbledon!!

Oh I love the sound of a good plot (been plotting myself hehe)

Emzilla

I’m hanging my head in shame. So what I have done since Friday? Pretty much nothing if I’m honest. I’m not proud of that and feel really lazy. So what else can I do except pick myself up and start again.

One thing I have decided on is to go for the £1,350 from the questions this month still. I am way behind on them now, so this will take a lot of effort, but I really need the money for next month when we move and there’s no other way I can earn that before then.

Another thing I’m worried about is the fact that we are moving out in just over 26 days. Time is going so fast and the flat is still cluttered and things aren’t being packed away.

So with all that in mind, here is my plan for the rest of the month. I’ll do 150 questions a day until the 22nd when I can drop back down to 100 a day. During my ‘breaks’, I’ll either clean something, list something on Gumtree or pack some stuff away.

I finally sold my desk on Sunday, so all we really have left to sell is the sofa and bed furniture wise. I’m hoping my sister and BIL will buy the bed from us, as theirs is old and knackered and it means we can keep it until we go. Might cause a problem if we have to advertise it as we might not have anywhere to sleep. I’m going to list the sofa on there tonight as we have alternative seating that we can use until we go.

Wow it is coming around quickly. I know what you mean about being lazy. Something just came over me this weekend and I couldn't even leave the house. It was awful I'm so tired this week too. BUT after your good news, TWO good things have happened to me. BF got a job after over 6 months of unemployment, so I might be able to see some of my wages sometime soon, yay. And secondly, I had a tribunal date set, two weeks away, with my old employer. I've been really stressed and it has eaten into my life no end, but they've approached me with a settlement that I've accepted. Now I'm waiting for the elusive third thing though. Did yours ever turn up?

Good luck with the questions, I'm sure you'll do great!

Congratulations on your brilliant news, emmaglet:j

Hi everyone

So sorry I haven't posted for a while. I don't know where my mind has been for the past week or so, but it hasn't been in the game that's for sure. I've just been doing nothing and wasting my time. I feel different today though, like I have snapped out of it.

Anyway, I have been watching the tennis over the past week. So glad that Murray won Queens. I also watched most of the charity matches afterwards. Michael McIntyre was hilarious as always. Very kind of Andy to donate his prize money to the hospital too. I know £70k probably isn't that much to him, but it was still a lovely gesture.

We went to see Man Of Steel last night. It was a good movie, nowhere near as good as The Dark Knight though. However, ladies, go see it just for Henry Cavill. That man is beautiful! :heart2: The jury's still out on whether he can rival Hugh Jackman for my affection though .

On the questions side of things, I'm never going to be able to make it to 3,000 now. So I'm just going to do 100 a day until the end of the month. This will give me £800. I have finally realised that to do this, I MUST do 100 a day. If I don't, I will never catch up. Let's see what happens in July.

I've also sold my printer since I was last on here. My sofa is on Gumtree, but I haven't had any interest yet. I think I'll relist it again tonight and drop the price by £10. My sister and BIL are going to buy our bed, which is a relief as at least we'll have somewhere to sleep until we leave.

I've been banned from seeing Man of Steel. I'm not a massive fan of the comic book films, but I've been dragged to see Batman, The Avengers, Thor and Captain America. All the time asking 'who's that? what's happening' or in the case of Batman, snuggling down and falling asleep. But Man of Steel? I get a "no, I don't like Superman" as a response. Yes well I don't like the others but I still went...

Anyway, I hope you're feeling more 'in the zone' and I look forward to your updates.

Hi Emma

Okay, firstly, how can you fall asleep during a movie? I've never been able to figure that out. I know it's dark in there, but they are so loud. I have to admit that during some films I have zoned out before (mainly ones my OH wants me to see), but I don't fall asleep, I just sit there and daydream.

Secondly, go and see Man of Steel by yourself. It would be worth it just to drool over that man for 2.5 hours. I'm actually considering going back by myself to see it again.

I forgot to say congrats on OH's job and your settlement by the way. Has the third thing turned up yet?

(Update to follow soon, I think I need to kick myself back into the zone ).

Morning

So, little update as promised. I'm still dragging my heels on the questions. I really need to get moving on them. Only 10 days left in the month.

OH really isn't helping at the moment. He is dying as he has a cold. He's currently off sick (yes, for a cold) and he's camped out in the living room moaning ("I'm not well", "I don't deserve this" etc etc). Technically, we will be leaving this flat 2 weeks today, and there is stuff everywhere. I am really trying to get organised, but OH is doing nothing. He always leaves stuff until the last minute, so I can see him moving his stuff out on the Friday night.

I've sold a couple more things (an old freeview box and OH's broken iPhone). The only thing to go now is the sofa, and I've had no interest in that whatsoever. If the worst comes to the worst, I'll get a charity to collect it.

I've got some more Amazon vouchers, but I spent £10 on them on Les Miserables for my mum. She has been saying she wanted it for a while, so I just ordered it for her and put a note with it to say it's a thank you for letting me stay for 2 weeks. It will be a nice surprise for her when it turns up. I've still got £28 in my Amazon account though.
