Hey everyone - thanks for being worried about me. :A

We went away with OH's parents and got back today. As the Comic Book Guy would say: Worst Holiday Ever!!! I won't go into it on here, but I will never go on holiday with them again - I wanted to kill them!! I'm so happy to be back. If you want all the gory details, PM me, but be warned, it will make you very annoyed :mad:.

Anyway, I'm ashamed to say that I kind of abandoned my questions in the few days before I went. I had so much to do and didn't think I would be ready for the holiday in time. I've also got a busy few days coming up.

Tomorrow and Friday, I'm looking after my niece and nephew because my mum is away and I'm helping my sister out so she can go to work. This involves looking after them from 7.30am, dropping my niece off to school, looking after my nephew until 1pm when he goes to pre-school, picking my niece up at 3.20pm, picking my nephew up at 4pm and then looking after them until 6pm. However, on Friday, my nephew is at pre-school all day, so I'll have a bit more time.

We then have a wedding to go to in London on Saturday, which I could really do without so close to the holiday.

However, I'm still determined to reach my target of £920 and will get there with some persistence and hard work. I'm okay today, but will need to do 100 questions tomorrow, Friday and Sunday and then 125 questions every day for the rest of the month. It'll be hard, but I really want to get to £920.

Doh... Sorry Em I know you mentioned that a few posts back. Getting forgetfull in my old age :rotfl: Sorry to hear it didn't go well however after what they put you through on a weekend/day down with you I can only imagine

Good luck with your questions over the next few days... Keep us informed I love seeing your tally Have a good time on Saturday.

Take care

Emzilla

Thanks Pap

I haven't managed to do any questions yet today. I was up at 6am to do my meds and out of the house at 7am to get to my sisters on time. Been running around like a blue-!!!!! fly since then. Dropped my nephew off at 1pm and am now at my mum's for another 40 minutes or so before I have to pick my niece up. What with actually feeding myself and then taking 5 minutes just to chill, I'm not going to be able to do any work until this evening.

Any mothers out there - you have my utmost respect!! :T

Afternoon

Been a busy few days with looking after the kids and the wedding yesterday. It was a lovely wedding and best of all the drinks were all free :j. We had a great time, but got back home at 1.30am, so I'm shattered today. I was dancing a lot too which wore me out.

I haven't got any further on the questions thanks to my hectic schedule over the past few days. I don't think I will make £920 now. That flaming holiday has really caused me problems this month. Wish I had never gone.

Anyway, I'm going to stick to 100 a day from tomorrow, which will get me to £640 and then I'll try to boost my income other ways too.

OH is away tonight for an early meeting tomorrow morning so I've got the flat to myself. I'm going to watch a movie and get an early night.

Wow Ems could have sworn I posted to say glad you were ok!

How odd......

Holidays should be had!

620 = so long as it covers your bills it will be fine, am sure.

take care lovely XXX

Morning and thanks Buffy :A

I spent some time yesterday (in between doing questions) trying to figure out how to clear this debt that is part of my 100 days challenge. I haven't made any payments towards it and the challenge ends in November.

My question money is for bills and every day spending, so it will have to be cleared with the extra bits. I'm trying to think of as many websites where I can earn cash as I can and then work on them in between answering questions and then when I get the cash, just pay it straight off the debt. I've got 25 so far. They are:

App Trailers (on iPhone)
Text Broker
Quidco
Top Cashback
Opinion World
Swagbucks
My Survey
Jackpot Joy (free game)
Emystery Shopper
Roadkill (any money found out and about, which I'm now using my butterfly money box to save it in - I found 1p yesterday)
Panelbase
Onepoll
Yougov
New Vista
Crowdology
Global Test Market
Pure Profile
Mindmover
Opinion Outpost
Vivatic
Panel Opinion
iPoll (iPhone)
Field Agent (iPhone)
Springboard
Get Jam (iPhone)

I guess I could add some that just pay vouchers and then redeem for supermarket vouchers and pay the money I would have paid for the shopping off the debt. I can add another 5 by doing that:

Ipsos
Toluna
Nectar Adpoints/Surveys
Valued Opinions
Harris Poll

I'm also considering whether to add some MS sites to the mix and just do a few jobs that don't require an initial outlay, although I would just rather do stuff online so I can fit it in around the questions.

If anyone has any other sites or iPhone apps that pay in cash, please let me know and you can refer me if you wish.
