    You could buy non cooks porridge like I do.
    They come in sachets & you bung the porridge in bowl & add milk & chuck in microwave.
    Take care xx

    Thanks Lou :) - I'm still not sure about porridge, but may get a small pot of it or something and give it a go.

    Afternoon :)

    Had a bit of a rubbish sleep last night, so not feeling great today.

    Went for lunch with my friend (it was her turn to pay) and we were going to see One Chance tonight for free, but I don't feel up to it with my cough (I'm sure the people going to see it would rather I stayed away too!), so I've cancelled the tickets.

    I'm currently trying to make up a shortfall in my account. I know that I've got £20 going out tomorrow, but I miscalculated and have only got £18.17 in there, so I'm watching videos on Apptrailers trying to get up to 3,000 points, which will give me enough in my Paypal to cover the shortfall. I could just put a couple of quid into the bank, but want to see if I can get there without that. I'm up to 500 so far.

  • so did you make up the shortfall?

    hope you had a good day whatever you did :) xxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    I did make it thanks Buffy. Thanks to cashing out £10 from Opinion World.

    Morning

    Sorry I haven't been around. I haven't been sleeping well and yesterday had the must humongous headache I've ever had. It was like someone was stabbing me in the head every time I coughed :( (which is pretty much all the time).

    I'm feeling much better today though. I had a good night's sleep and feel more 'with it'.

    I have kind of abandoned work because I felt so rough, but am now back to it and hoping to get to £400 before I have to go into hospital on Monday. I'm not sure what the WiFi situation is in hospital, so don't know if I will be able to work in there or not.

    I've just redeemed for a £5 Amazon voucher too :).

    Well, in between running around dropping off and picking up kids (still not done yet as niece has a disco to go to in an hour, so muggins here has to drive her there), I've managed to earn £10 (been really quiet) and have added another £2.50 to my Amazon account.

    OH is away for work tonight, so I'm going to aim for another £10 tonight at least, will see how busy it is.

    It was pretty dead last night, but I did manage to get another £10, even with the system crashing for well over an hour :mad:

    Got to leave in 20 minutes to do the school runs and then have around 6 hours with uninterrupted work time (apart from lunch). So my aim is to get another £20 on my total. I have a feeling the Amazon account is going to be boosted today too (I did a lot of surveys yesterday).

    It's really quiet on the questions today, but I have managed to earn another £10. I'm not sure I'll get another £10 before I go home tonight, but will make sure I end the day on £280.

    Got to take my mum to the doctor in a bit too, she's not feeling so good.

    Amazon balance hasn't gone up yet, but I have done quite a few surveys so it's only a matter of time.
