    I've had to escape round my mum's to get away from my OH - he's doing my head in!! At least I'll be able to get some work done around here.

    I've got a couple of MS jobs lined up on Friday and Saturday. The fees are £32 together, but I also get a £9 spend for one of them, and it's a toy shop, so I'll be able to start my Christmas shopping.

    Hmm, think my list was a bit ambitious :o. I have nearly completed those eMystery Shopper surveys. One has been submitted and I'm just waiting for email responses for the other two. When they get accepted, I'll be able to request £15.

    I've also claimed a £5 Amazon voucher from My Survey.

    Morning :)

    Firstly, very annoyed about the tennis. Not the fact that Murray lost but the manner in which he did it. I'm actually glad I didn't get the chance to see it (had to pick OH up from the station straight after work). I heard it on the radio though :(.

    Secondly, I didn't get the chance to talk to my manager about the leave issue as she wasn't around yesterday evening. I'll see if I can catch her on Sunday.

    Signed up for our work's Christmas meal last night. Have to pay £5 deposit and then it's another £14.50 on top for a 3-course meal. My first work's Christmas meal in 5 years!! :rudolf:

    I've got a tonne of surveys to do on eMystery Shopper. They should all net me £49.50 in total. They write the cheques out on the 20th of each month, so my aim is to get them all done by Monday so they have a couple of days to review and accept them. Just 12 to do, nothing major ;).

  • I'm sorry you had a frustrating and annoying time on Thursday, Emz:(

    I was very annoyed by the tennis too. Haven't been bothering to watch it much but switched on yesterday when waiting in for a parcel delivery:mad: and saw Ferrer playing! Hadn't realised he was going to be but Roanic pulled out and Ferrer was the sub. Even Nishikori wasn't aware he was playing Ferrer until an hour before the match and had I known I'd have watched the whole match as I was at home. As it was I only saw the last half of the 3rd set and saw Ferrer lose:(. He was obviously not match-fit but at least took it to 3 energetic sets and the crowd got their money's worth. Don't know what to say about Andy after his monumental efforts to qualify for London in the first place.

    Your Christmas meal sounds good, a treat to look forward to after such an awful month for you:beer:.

    Morning :)

    Not getting very far with those surveys. Yesterday OH and I did some cleaning and then my sister came over in the afternoon. We did some shopping (not that I bought anything) and we had an evening watching some movies.

    I'll have to find time to do them over Monday and Tuesday, although I am at the hospital all afternoon tomorrow.

    My leave for March finally got approved, so providing I can get tickets, I'll be off to see the Davis Cup and can cross an item off my bucket list.

    Hi INOD :)

    They go on sale on Tuesday 25th, so it's just a case of buying a pair. Hopefully the Friday tickets will be less popular than the weekend ones.
