    I've not posted for over a week been really busy. I'm now up to £425.45 so smashed my £300 target be nice to reach £500 before the end of the month.

    That's brilliant, well done! £500 is completely in sight.
    OMG! I've just started about 6 surveys...and got to finish none of them! So annoying when you get thrown out with no points to show for it.
    :(

    That's why I hardly do any these days. Pcone, Viewsbank and Crowdology are the only ones I do
    Have reached my first $50 on bubblews so will be waiting for that to hit paypal, it probably won't go on this months total though as apparently takes a while to clear. Also £73 to add from an unexpected tax credits payment, it must be due to being the end of the tax year! Sold more on eBay but all went on postage for other items so I won't add that.

    Well done on the BubbleWS payout!
    I like to make money

    Thanks.
    It was a long week/easter weekend.

    I usually work a total of 33.75 hours, over 6 days a week, across the two jobs - this last week I worked 51.25, with extra hours at both jobs on BH Monday as well.

    It was tough, but I'm looking forward to job 1's pay packet next week and job 2's the week after =)
    Especially as I have a holiday booked 3 days after job 2's payday :D
