    Evening

    Been a bit slack today if I'm honest, but I have still done my 100 questions and reached my SB target, which is the main thing.

    Will try and get it done more quickly tomorrow.

    Off for an early night.

    Thanks Lou.

    I'm not happy - my Amazon balance has taken a hit. OH's mother wanted some curtain hooks and doesn't have an Amazon account, so asked OH to order them. Apparently, I will get the money back. I'll believe it when I see it. Told OH this is not happening again - I'm not doing loads of surveys to provide his mother with freebies :mad:

    Absolute freaking cheek! What is up with your OH? She can set up an Amazon account! It is easy!

    those surveys are sodding boring! Surely he knows that!

    good work on questions still, am impressed as ever :)
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Thanks Lou and Buffy. I think next time I'm just going to say I don't have any money in my account and pay for it on the card. Then if OH gets his money back, that's up to him. Problem of course at the moment is we don't have any money.

    I can feel it's going to be one of those days. I can feel myself not wanting to do the questions. Going to have to force myself. I've only done 6 and would love to get to 50 by the time I leave to go to my mums.

    I have also tweaked September a bit and reckon I could fit in 100 questions on the day we come back (will be back by lunchtime), so I'm aiming for £920 for next month.

    I need a massive kick up the backside today - only 20 questions done :(

    On a happier note, my mum has got me 2 bags of Cadbury chocolate coins :j
