    Round my mum's now, but still not doing well. I've only made £6 :o.

    My aim is to earn £50 by the end of today. I'm going to have lunch and then work through until 6pm when I'll leave my mum's. I'll then drive home, stop off at Mr T's on the way home with my shopping list and get back down to work until I reach £50.

    If I can earn £20 before leaving my mum's, I should be able to do the other £30 tonight.

    Over the weekend, I'm going to aim for at least £50. I will have to work around family visiting, but will do what I can, even if it's just £2 here and there. I'll have a few hours in the morning before my sister arrives and then all of Sunday evening (they will all leave around 6pm).

    Then Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I want to earn £50 each day.

    I'm putting this all on here now, so I don't get caught short by the forum closing.

    My turkey burgers are ready :)

    Hi Emma - thanks for finding me :).

    I've hit my £20 target, despite it being really slow this afternoon. It always picks up in the evening, so earning another £30 will be fine.

    I'm going to have something to eat now, then get my shopping done and start again around 7pm.

    This will be my last post before the forum goes down, so I hope everyone has a great weekend and see you all Sunday/Monday.

    Emz xx

    What a lovely thing for your niece to do.

    Hi OF, Lou and Buffy :)

    Hooray to the site being back up so soon :T.

    Unfortunately I haven't done well earnings wise :(. I feel ashamed. I was just lazy last night and didn't do anything after I came back from shopping. Very bad of me. I also haven't done anything today as I spent most of the morning getting the flat up to scratch for my visitors and it's nearly impossible to work when my niece and nephew are around. I promise to do what I can tomorrow night when everyone has gone home.

    Speaking of my flat, I'm getting sick to death of finding spiders everywhere. I've found 4 today and 2 of them were mighty big in the bathroom. I'm looking around all the time now. Can't stand the little blighters (or big blighters). I've put the plugs in the bath and sink just in case they're coming through the plugholes. They give me the heeby jeebies!!

    I managed to do the shopping for just over £16. I had to leave some stuff out and confessed to my sister that I was skint, so she got some other stuff for me and paid for a pizza tonight.

    Right, I'm off to bed and hope that I don't come across anymore spiders on my way.

    Night xx

    Sorry you didn't get more of your earnings done. Could you supplement them with mystery shopping? Might break things up a bit?

    Glad you had a nice weekend with your folks. That is priceless.

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
  • spiders - YUCK. (I think it is the weather)

    Two in the living room and a giant moth. And I do mean giant. Freaked the life out of me.

    Looks like such a beautiful day here. hope it is there :) x

    Evening all :)

    My visitors have gone now. I do love them, but it's nice to have my flat back and it's nice and quiet too.

    Chev - I'm trying to concentrate on the questions a bit more at the moment, as we've just had a pay rise and there's no outlay, like with some MS jobs. Plus diesel to get to them of course. I'll see how it goes though.

    Buffy - Moths freak me out too, and crane flies. Touch wood, no spiders spotted today. I hope you had a great day.

    So, I have the evening to myself. I need to wash my hair, but then I'm going to start work at 7pm and work until 11pm and see how much I can earn.

    Be back later.

    Emz xx

    (Oh, and I've found 2 more 5p's for the butterfly)
