    Another early morning (5.45am :(), but at least it means I can get started on the questions earlier.

    So, plans today. A parcel is being redelivered that I missed earlier in the week (a suit OH bought from the Bay of E) and a Sky man is coming over to sort out a problem with our Sky box.

    My sister is also coming over later so she can have some time child-free (she's staying overnight). We are going to watch movies and get a pizza :D

    Therefore I really need to get my questions done by mid-afternoon. A tall order (up to 22 already though).

    Afternoon :)

    Well, I got all of my questions done by 2pm yesterday, just in time for the Sky man, who has fixed our Sky.

    I'm not doing well today though as my sister stayed all morning and I'm at my mum's now. Thought it was a bit rude to sit there working. So I might take a break from the questions today. I have got £50 coming from You Gov after all, so that will make up for the loss of money from today.

    Hi everyone

    Sorry I haven't posted for a few days. My grandma is in hospital. She had a stroke and has low sodium levels, so might be in there for a bit. So I'm doing a lot of ferrying to and from the hospital at the moment.

    Sorry to hear about your grandma. Best wishes to her for a good recovery. As for you, don't be thinking you're superwoman. Make sure not to take on too much.

    Thanks everyone.

    My gran is still in hospital, but is a bit more with it (even though she insists that she went to a party at a nurse's flat the other night!!). We have got a rota, so that at least two people are with her during visiting times. I'm next seeing her on Sunday afternoon with my sister.

    Money-wise, I'm stuck on £200 on the questions and I think that will be it for this month. I would really love to be able to do 100 questions a day during June, but I think that is unrealistic at the moment, so I'm going to do 50 a day and aim for £600 for the month. Will then see what I can earn elsewhere to boost that a bit.
