  • A daily round up,

    Today is NSD no 5 for the month,
    I just paid off an extra % from the capital one from surveys and cashback :j making it 2% extra paid off this month so far :D
    Steps- forgot pedometer again today, will do better tomorrow.
    Couldn't put stall out due to rain :(
    Production wise - made 1 batch of Kiwi Chutney

    Saw duty at CMHT today, being sent for blood tests tomorrow (:eek:) apparently they routinely do physical health checks and I've slipped through the net so to speak, got an appointment for a full physical health check on 2nd June.
    I met my student who is getting me for the next 10 weeks...she's very....erm....shall we plump for enthusiastic :eek: will have to see how long that lasts! lol

    Thinking about offering Jam Parties through my facebook page (you know, like Ann Summers parties)....hmmm

  • So Todays round up;

    * steps - 4859 - not been out other than blood test today
    * spends - a couple of quid on a probe thermometer
    *Surveys - reached swagbucks target for first time in like a week, did my first pinecone survey....tantalisingly close to payout on swagbucks but just don't have the patience for loads of low paying surveys today, esp as I had to do one twice as it crashed 2 pages from the end grrrrrr
    * Sales from stall - 4 jars! :T:j I think it may have all been one person as it was a £10 note as well :j someone obviously loves jam....

  • Today I built a raised bed :D my first one ever!!!!! Very excited for when my plants are big enough to put in it!!!!!!

    Daily Round-up;

    Spends - lots, spend £10 on gardening magazines (but the free seeds in them justifies that :p) and a few quid on junk food to sustain me.

    Steps - 8955 - only been out to the shops (Mum drove me there) but have been gardening most of the day which must have boosted the step count.

    Surveys - poor, did a couple on swagbucks that were basically signing up to online panels and then didn't credit :mad: was planning on getting up to £5 cashout on swagbucks today but then just gave up.

    Jam Sales - 4 jars!!!!! :j And 2 of the people overpaid by 50p....the first one possibly didn't have change so I left a 50p piece in the box...then came back from shopping to find another jar had gone 3 £1 coins in the box and the 50p piece still there :think:

    Extra paid off Capital One - 1% extra paid today from jam profits....making 3% extra paid this month so far :j

    All in all quite a good day I feel. The weather is meant to be pants at the beginning of next week so will focus more on surveys while I am trapped indoors.
    I also just looked at my spreadsheet and I have sold 19 jars of jam/chutney so far in May! And that's just from the little stall at the bottom of the front garden!
