    Hi Chrysalis - thanks for stopping by :)

    The cinema was okay thanks. Not as good as the first movie, but it was okay.

    I managed to do my 50 questions and am now back at home. Feeling quite tired, so will be off to bed in a minute.

    Hope everyone has had a good day.

    Thanks Pap :D

    Feeling really tired today. Woke up around 2am and couldn't get back to sleep until around 4am.

    Anyway, 100 questions on the agenda today. I also need to buy a card and some wrapping paper as it's my nephew's birthday tomorrow. Will go to the Card Factory, so will only cost a couple of quid max. Might get my sister and BIL's anniversary card whilst I'm there.

    Nothing else to report.

    Evening all

    Just posting quickly before I hit the sack. Hoping to get a decent night's sleep tonight.

    Anyway, I got my 100 questions done. I also got my nephew's card and wrapping paper. It came to £2.17 in the end, but that included my sister's anniversary card too.

    Whilst I would love to keep doing the competitions, they need a lot of time dedicating to them, and I fear that my earnings would suffer as a result of trying to enter as many as I could. So I'm going to drop them for now.

    My main aims for August are:
    • Do 100 questions a day
    • Earn £10 a day from other means

    The questions are imperative. If I can do that, I know I will have £1,240 coming in at the beginning of September. Once I've done the questions and ONLY when I've done the questions, I'm going to do some other stuff (all online: surveys, JPJ free game, Swagbucks, Quidco etc) to try and make an extra £10 a day.

    There we have it. August's plan. I really want to stick to it and I WILL stick to it.

    See you all next month - night night.

    Morning - happy August and happy birthday to my gorgeous little nephew (2 years old - how did that happen??).

    I'm up early as I need to leave the house by 8.30am to get to my mum's for 9am. We're seeing my nephew for an hour before they go out for the day with my BIL's parents (we were invited, but they are down from up north, so we don't like to intrude on their time with the kids as we get to see them practically every day and they don't).

    I'm then dropping my mum off at my gran's, but will go back to my mum's to do some work instead of staying.

    I would love to get 10 questions done before I have to go out.

    Be back later

    10 questions done :).

    Just found a spider _pale_ - I guess 1 spider since Saturday night is pretty good.

    Time to get ready. See you all later.

    Thanks Emma and Dawn :)

    It's going slow, but I've just got up to 25 questions. Might have to do a couple of hours tonight.

    I've just been told I've won some organic tea on Twitter :rotfl:. Might give it to the in-laws for Christmas ;)
