    Morning

    Up early, so took the opportunity to knock a couple of quick items off my list. Just tried to do an Opinion World survey too, but got screened out.

    Time for a shower, then my meds and will then get started on the questions.

    Done pretty well this morning, all but 3 items crossed off my list. I will do questions now until I reach that magic 116. I'll do any surveys I get from those 5 companies in between and I'll wait until the questions are done before I do my 30 minutes of housework.

    Hmm, I was doing so well and then got started on the questions :(. I'm not going to even say how many I've answered, as it's just embarrassing. I have no excuses, except possibly a wasp that I had to coax out of the window earlier on. It is really quiet on there too, but I should have gotten more done by now. I feel ashamed.

    Anyway, I will reach my target today. I promise I will!! I have also earned 80 points on My Survey.

    ETA - I've got another couple of tickets to a freebie film, so 2 free films next week and 1 the week after.

    :mad: I really need a kick up the backside :mad:

    What have I done since last posting on here? Pretty much nothing if I'm honest. :(

    I'm going to try a different tactic from today. No targets, no to-do lists. I'm just going to earn £10 at a time and let it build up. £10 = 25 questions, so nice manageable chunks to work with. I'm on £60 at the moment (shameful :(), so let's see how much I can build up before the end of the month.

    First £10 sorted this morning. It has been really slow. I'm going to take a little break, have my lunch and then start on the next £10.

    Morning

    Sorry I haven't posted since Monday. I wanted to get my act together before I did. I feel like I've got it together now though.

    I'm going to go back to 100 questions a day, which will get me £800 this month and then try to earn some other cash and vouchers in addition. It's really quiet on the questions at the moment, so I think 100 is realistic. I've already done 9 this morning (and it's dead on there).

    I downloaded App Trailers on my iPhone yesterday so I've got something to do whilst I'm out and about. I've got 63p from there already. I know it's not going to make me rich, but it's something I can do whilst waiting around when I'm away from my laptop. At least I'll be earning something.

    We went to see We're The Millers last night for free. It was actually quite a good film, really funny. We've got another one tomorrow night.

    I won £10 from JPJ this morning, so am pleased with that.

    Back to the questions (or lack of them). I'm not leaving this flat until I've reached 50.

    50 questions = done!! :)

    I just received a moisturiser to trial for 3 weeks. It costs £15 in Boots, so really pleased.

    I'm off round my mum's now. Will do the other 50 questions round there.
