    Fluffy baby sounds like just the thing! But expensive? ;) maybe get one as a treat/reward for reaching x amount on a card?

    Sorry to hear about your dog.

    I am going to get on with some surveys too. Want to make at least an extra 20 pounds a week - thats 1000 a year - and I have already done that. Til the new year thats 260 pounds. Think I can get it to 1300 pounds for the year? or will I get past it? Think it would be fantastic to give it a go! I can add it to my signature, so far this week I have made my total so I am sure I can do it.

    I am sure you will earn £20 a week doing surveys but can I ask where do you get surveys that pay so much?
  • So we both have interviews!! When is yours?

  • So sorry to hear about your dog :( *hug*

    Great news ref the interview! Everything will be crossed for you! :D

    You're doing really great on ebay! Have to say that ebay is more hassle to me than it's worth, so a local charity got a boot full of my old stuff this morning :) They're more in need of the money than me.

    And :mad: ref the backpay!! :( Gutted for you!

  • Month 25 day 26 I have been so busy!

    Interview is on next Wednesday and I am having to give an infomative presentation. Bleugh.

    My parents have bought me a pup. Its lovely. I get her on Friday.

    Expenses have eventually been repaid. I am selling lots and lots of ebay (confusion where the question was earning 20 a week on surveys, its an extra 20 a week from all sources which I try to earn) In the past week I have pulled in over 50 pounds which is good.

    70 days to Christmas and I will be enjoying it.

    Firstly though, need to get that house sorted.

    I am on painting it and my house and still doing the garden. Funtimes!

    Hate having to rush off, but am so busy!!

  • that was nice to get you a wee puppy. My interview is tomorrow so my butterflies are fluttering slightly. Maybe if I got off of here and prepped a bit I'd feel better :)

  • Aww a puppy, that is a lovely thing to do.

    Things sounding great, nearly there then in the other house if you are onto the painting :j

  • Month 25 day 27 I know I am so happy. Hope your interview went well MIT. The painting is taking place everywhere....

    I am painting at my house - just white - sprucing up the kitchen and bathroom and steam cleaning.

    At the other house I am painting the bathroom ceiling as its fully tiled. Then I have some other bits of painting to do. As for the garden its got to be sorted. There are weeds to sort this weeking, with the help of a small puppy!!

    Nothing much else to report apart from lurching toward payday with a knowledge no huge steps, but the house will be a massive one once its finished.
