  • Morning and the start of another week, not much to update really.

    Yesterday was a quiet day and also a NSD so I'm now up to 9/42.

    Only 1 survey done as I was screened out of loads of toluna and GTM :mad:
    T0luna - 1000pts
    maxim!les - 5pts.
    :(

    Think i might have to do a food shop this afternoon, see what we have in and try to eek it out until tomorrow.

    Weather is miserable and looks like I'm going to have to use the TD :mad:.

    Hope everyone's having a good day.

  • Afternoon, have forced myself to come on and post, don't know whats the matter with me feel really down and I'm sat here crying, just feel tired and overwhelmed and have that horrible Knotty feeling in my stomach.

    Met up with friends yesterday and although I love seeing them, 1 of them always leaves me feeling drained , I don't know it's as though she sucks the life out of me , don't want to go into too much detail on here but she is a very indecisive and pessimistic person, were I would say I'm usually the opposite and now I feel really guilty saying all this as she is a sweet person.

    Surveys are driving me nuts but I need the extra income, so on I plod, surveys yesterday:

    y0ugov - 25pts
    inb0xp0unds - 1p
    max!miles - 10pts
    valued 0pini0ns - £1
    nectar adp0ints 30pts
    0nepoll - 40p

    Redeemed £10 sainsbugs voucher from valued 0pinions.

    Went to aldi this morning and pent £35, need to check up on asda site and work out what I've saved.

    Off to start a lasagne for tea.
  • Big hugs pwps. It's awful when 'friends' leave you feeling that way. I hope you feel better after your cry, I know I always do.

    Perhaps some pampering and an early night will make you feel better too? Xx

  • I have a friend who sounds just the same, and it is tiring dealing with their negativity.

    Dont feel bad, if you didnt vent then feelings would just build up and may cause you to say something to her you normally wouldnt and ruin the friendship. And none of us are going to tell her ;)

  • Thanks guys,

    I've given myself a talking to and I cannot carry around other people's !!!!!!, they need to sort their own lives out and if they just wallow in self pity and not take advice then then they can just deal with it themselves.

    I also think i'm feeling down because I'm missing work, I really love my job and the children I work with and although I do need a break from it as all adults that work in school will understand I miss my brain not being used and being busy busy BUSY. working with special needs is challenging and tiring, but I'm missing the little s*ds so much.

    I also need to remember to take St John's Wort everyday as this helps my mood.
  • On to money and money saving, which is what this diary is supposed to be about and not me whinging.

    Need to pay barc card today - £170.

    SUrveys yesterday:

    Ipsos - 50pts (not been credited yet and would take me to redemption level, survey closes 19th, will chase up then)
    nectar adp0ints - 19pts
    cr0wd0logy - £1.52
    0pinion pe0ple - 5pts
    panelba$e - 60p
    t0luna - 3000pts
    y0ur say pays - 15p
    maximiles - 10pts

    Everything is adding up slowly but i'm not near any big payouts, will just keep going with them, although i'm starting to get fed up and trying to think of some other ways to make cash.

    Had a payment of £3 into paypal from mysur£y.

    Have some time on my own today as DC are off to the cinema with grandma, my MIL is fab and I don't know what I'd do without her.
    So plans today are to make scones and crispy cakes for the hungry little gremlins that are eating me out of house and home.
    Washing and ironing and a general tidy up.
    Catch up on some recorded TV that is unsuitable to watch whilst little people are around (Hannibal).

    Have a good day.x.
