    Hello

    Round my mum's at the moment. OH is off visiting his parents (he went last night). He's back tonight though as we're off to the cinema to see The Wolverine :j. Regulars will know of my love for Hugh Jackman :grinheart. I just booked the tickets online after working out how to add the free carer ticket on. It actually cost 73p less than booking in the cinema (even with the £1 booking fee) as I get a discount for being a Premier member :D. Not that Hugh isn't worth every penny ;).

    For the whole of next week, I'm going to do every survey I receive and see how much I get throughout the week. It will be interesting to see. I'm trying to judge if it's worth doing them alongside my questions.

    Dinner's ready - be back later.

    Good luck :) - if you need any help with the test or application, send me a PM.

    When there's a constant flow of questions, I can easily earn £6-£8 an hour (15 questions is £6, 20 is £8). When it's a bit more quiet, £4 an hour is still doable, so if you were doing it for a couple of hours in the evening, you could easily earn £10 a night, which would be £300 a month, so worth doing.

    Sorry I haven't posted yet today, been a bit busy. Met my friend for lunch (my turn to pay, but only cost £15) and I've got a doctors appointment in an hour.

    The Wolverine was a good film, but then I would say that considering Hugh Jackman didn't have a shirt on for pretty much half the movie :T.

    The doctor was a waste of time. I thought I was going there to see a GP so I could get my repeat prescription sorted and they booked me in with a nurse. Now I can't get an appointment until 23rd August to see an actual doctor. Hopefully I won't run out of meds before then.

    I've decided to get a new printer with my Amazon money. I sold my last one (it was ancient) and want to get a wireless one. I already have just under £40, so will aim to get another £20-£30 to buy one.

    After that, I want to get some vouchers towards my sister's birthday present (a camera). My mum and I are going halves, so I will put what I can towards it and then split the difference with my mum. I'm hoping I can pay for at least half of it (max budget is £80, so want to try and get it for £40 vouchers/£40 cash so mum and I only need to pay £20 each).

    Been thinking, I'm trying to do too many things at once. I just don't have the time for all of them. Confession time: I haven't been keeping up with the questions, which I really need to do to get a decent wage next month. All is not lost, I need to do 116 questions a day to reach my £1,200 target (from tomorrow onwards). That's not too bad.

    So, my daily earning activities will now include:

    116 questions
    Nectar Adpoints
    Valued Opinion
    My Survey
    Pinecone surveys
    Opinion World surveys
    Ipsos surveys
    Free JPJ game
    Swagbucks daily target
    Quidco/TCB (one offer a day)

    Obviously, some of those won't occur every day, but any other money making opportunity will have to wait until they are all done. I'm not going to touch any other survey sites - those listed above (including Swagbucks) are the best sites I do and all payout in Amazon vouchers. Nectar Adpoints and JPJ are quick and easy to do and Quidco/TCB will get me some extra money if I do an offer each day and build the money up.

    I'll post on here and tick them off as I go each day.

    I am on there Lou, but to be honest, it takes so long to get up to the £50 that I think I'll be better off doing the quicker payers for a bit. I think I'm only up to 2,000 points on there, so have a long way to go.

    I seem to have done better than before in the last year.
    I think about 16 months to a payout this time.
    Nearly there, hopefully soon as my BF is 50 next month.
