    My OH is away this weekend. I may borrow your list to work through as I really want to tackle the house.

    Go for it!! If you manage it, you're a better person than me!!

    100 questions done and dusted.

    We didn't make it to the cemetery as it's been rotten weather all day. I'm sure my dad will understand and knows we are thinking about him every day and not just on his birthday. We will go on Sunday when the weather's supposed to be better.

    The hospital went okay. I tested a new nebulised antibiotic which wasn't exactly pleasant, but wasn't as bad as the last one they gave me. They'll get me started on it ASAP.

    I take it the inspection went ahead, but they didn't show whilst I was here.

    I didn't do the shopping as I got stuck in traffic and couldn't be bothered. I'll go tomorrow.

    Cleared out my purse and found £5 that I didn't know about, which is always a bonus. Also got a voucher for some free cat biscuits (given to my sister) and a small bottle of Nivea body wash.

    Off for a shower, then going to try and finish off The Lone Ranger (although to be honest, I'm struggling. It's not a great movie).

    Money-wise, I'm going back to basics. I know I've tried it before and failed, but I really need to be doing 100 questions a day. It's not exactly hard work, but it can be very very boring. However, it's my best chance of earning good money (£1,200 a month - way better than surveys and other stuff). I've earned a miserable £80 so far this month (have made money elsewhere though, so that's not all I've got). I'll start doing my 100 questions again tomorrow, so will be looking at getting £480 by the end of the month (might even try to push it to £500 if I can).

    I have been following your diary with interest and I was wondering can I ask where do you get the questions which pay you for answering them?

    Yep, definitely an early riser!!

    Although getting up this early has paid off as I've bagged two more freebie films - Belle and Chef. They're both the week after next :T

    So, another 100 questions to do today and I must get to the supermarket this evening too - no excuses.

  • Congrats on getting the YouGov payout:beer:. I'm very close to mine too. Although it takes a while to get a payout I've had 3 already in the time I've been with them and seem to get survey invites more regularly nowadays and NEVER get screened out:j. Was hoping for a rash of surveys leading up to the current elections but sadly zilch. Had a few telephone follow-up surveys from YouGov and various other survey sites after the candidates TV debates at the last General Election which were good payers so hope this will happen again next year.

    I don't like the idea of having my home inspected. Sounds like being in the Army:eek::eek:

    Thank you :) - looking forward to the £50 dropping into my bank account. I hope you get yours soon too.

    They aren't very thorough with the house inspection. They literally just walk through it and check that we haven't put any holes in walls or smashed any windows etc. One of the cons of letting I'm afraid.

    100 questions all done :)

    I did some shopping too, spent £11.74 after using my £9 vouchers, but also got a 55p voucher off my next shop in the price promise thingy.

    Need to get some washing done tonight and sort some paperwork out.

    Can't believe my week alone is nearly over. I do miss my OH, but the peace and quiet is bliss!!
