Afternoon diary landers
I've missed being on here even tho it was only a day. It's all going fantastic thank you pink poppies!
I've been able to go to the farm during the day and although it's only been 2 mornings there, it's given me even more of a taste of what I want to do and how do I do that - starting by being DF!
Well working these strange hours means that I am not using too much fuel as I'm doing them at home on audio conferencing (their cost).
Managing to get a few surveys done - hope to cash out [EMAIL="sw@gs"]sw@gs[/EMAIL] by Sunday. No taker for the rug yet but have advertised on ebay for payment on collection only as ebay is bad enough but will have to pay paypal too.
Also been thinking about requesting to work from home full time. I need to think about this and of course they may say no!

The Americans are taking a 15 minute break for their lunch and then we're back on until 10. It's not too bad actually.
I've checked the accounts and everything seems quietly ticking over. I'm not going to make the £150 overpayment this month I don't think however I shall keep trying.
Just paid farrier, livery and vets bill.expensive month for them.
I have a jumping lesson in the morning which I'm really looking forward to. She jumps for Team GB so I'm lucky I managed to get in with her. That wasn't in budget but toughrebel.
So it's 1082 days until I am DF. That's 2 years and 11 months and so many days. Let's see what else I can do to reduce that.Debt - CCV £3792

Happy Friday everyone!
What an A-MAY-ZING lesson. Truly amazing. I really enjoyed it and learnt alot and the big girl enjoyed it too. I could feel my stomach and legs had been worked too during that time. I'm gutter my morning's at the yard is over but I'm not sad to see the back of this workshop I am listening to. I actually couldn't tell you the PURPOSE of it- I understand the conversations and can join in, but WHY we're dsicussing this is beyond me. Frustrating but that's how these big companies work.
I've got rice pudding cooking away - I fancied a treat and I love it.
I can walk around with the phone attached to me, listening in on the audio and still managing to get the odd home thing home so it's not been too bad.
OK so after yesterday's last comment - "Let's see what else I can do to reduce that.".....I've decided to try and take on a bit of extra work. This is in the form of transcription work following Caz's lead (big thanks) and so far have got past stages 1 & 2 and hopefully will pass the rest. Even if I can make £100 a month that is £1200 a year off my debt. It may or may not work for me, so will see.
I've managed to sell the pony rug for £20 so that will be going over to CCV very soon. I'll have a look around and see what else I can sell this weekend. Surveys are ticking over, no payouts yet.Debt - CCV £3792

Good luck with the rest of it
They've been a great company to work for so far - I've just realised I've been with them for over six months now, that's gone really, really fast!

Well I'm a lucky girl, I've been told I can leave the meeting as they were wrapping up and are all just at midday over there. So a short working day after all, tho I am flagging a bit now.
My Mam took the kids out for their tea and kept them entertained for me and we've just been invited out to Sunday lunch at FIL's house so I'm rather pleased I won't have to make Sunday lunch.
Tomorrow is yard and then jobs on the afternoon then out on the night if we can get a baby sitter - the ONLY job I asked DH to do and he hasn't!
Then Sunday is yard and FIL for lunch then I think a long walk is in order to blow the cobwebs away. In between all that I have washing & ironing for Monday, housework & making the kids do their homework to fit in
I have circa 150 points needed to get [EMAIL="sw@gs"]sw@gs[/EMAIL] payout so hoping to do it by Sun night and I'm up to £15 ish on 0nep0ll so almost half way there on that one. [EMAIL="V1ewsb@nk"]V1ewsb@nk[/EMAIL] are pending payment of £7 plus pence which will go straight over to the card. The girl's coming to collect the rug from the yard in the morning
A successful few days I think. Watching Harry P with DD now whilst DH at the gym and I'm also watching the videos for the formatting guide for the next stage in the testing. I'm not rushing into it as it looks quite complicated and they ask you to format some text they put in front of you to adhere to their guidelines. I spent 30 seconds staring blankly before I realised it was the text on the screen I could modify - I was expecting a text box! The sooner I get it done though, the sooner I can sign up for a shift.Debt - CCV £3792
