Bucket List Ambitions of a Cystic Fibrosis Sufferer

Emzilla

Thanks Lou, still feeling pretty rotten. Going to chill out for the next couple of days and hopefully I'll be okay for work on Wednesday evening.

I've abandoned the £10 a day challenge. I'm never going to keep it up (posting on the thread that is), so I'll just stick to my diary and stop attempting it.

Think I'm going to start keeping track of where I am on survey and other sites on here so that I don't forget to go on them. Seriously need to start building up those Amazon vouchers for Christmas and extra cash to pay off the council tax arrears.

(BTW, Christmas is coming - I sold a snowman jumper at work yesterday!! :eek:).

I hope you'll be feeling better soon, Emz. You've had a total change of routine this past few weeks so it's bound to take its toll. Make sure you get plenty of 'you' time when OH is away.

I'm doing the £10 A Day Challenge too except I only committed to £5 and even that is proving impossible:o. Must make more effort to find some new ways of making a bit extra that don't involve staring at a computer screen all day long. Living in a rural backwater it cost more in petrol to get to Mystery Shopping assignments than I got for the assignments themselves, otherwise I'd get back into that again as I enjoyed it. My best bet is selling stuff but I'm fast running out of anything anyone in their right mind would want to buy:eek:

Take care x

Emzilla

Thanks CBC - Good luck with the selling. Try listing your stuff, you never know who might buy it.

I've got a few more hours overtime at work. I've got to start at 3pm for the next two Thursdays (so 3-8pm instead of 5-8pm). I know that may sound nuts considering I'm not feeling great, but it will get me out of rushing around doing the school run and then getting to work on time, so I think it might be easier on me!! Will be so pleased when I don't have to do the school run from next year onwards. It will be a lot easier, and I won't have to make arrangements so that I can do extra hours.

My list is coming along nicely and I'll add some more to it tomorrow. I've redeemed for a £5 Amazon voucher from My Survey today too.

Morning. Had a better sleep last night, despite the thunder and lightening at around 2.30am.

I redeemed for another £2.50 Amazon voucher from Opinion World last night, so my Amazon balance currently stands at £14.67 with £5 pending.

Today's list:

Superpoints - 18,385 (£10 Amazon voucher at 23,000)
Swagbucks - 784 (£5 Amazon voucher at 825)
Jackpot Joy (free game) - £0.22 (payout at £10)
Bubble Bonus Bingo (free games) - £4.73 (payout at £20)
Panelbase - £5.40 (payout at £10)
My Survey - 205 (£5 Amazon voucher at 550)
Valued Opinions - £1.25 (£15 Amazon voucher at £15.50)
Springboard - £1.00 (payout at £25)
Inbox Pounds - £2.34 (payout at £20)
Ipsos - 445 (£10 Amazon voucher at 1,380)

Will try and add more to that throughout the day.

Hey everyone

Still not feeling great, so haven't been on here much. Did 3 hours Wednesday night and 5 hours last night. Off today and then 7 hours tomorrow and 6 hours Sunday.

Payday today and I earned £537 from M&S. I haven't got a payslip yet so am not sure what tax I'm paying, but I'm happy with that amount.

However, I do need to be earning more money as my wages are already pretty much spoken for (it's 2 weeks until OH gets paid, so some of that money is for bills etc). I want to get this council tax sorted out (both lots ) and my gas arrears, which are getting out of hand. The councils and gas company are really good and I'm not anywhere near the bailiff stage yet, but I need to start paying them all off pronto.

I think Textbroker is the only extra thing I can do for money that will pay decently at the moment. Surveys are okay, but take too long and often for little pay. It pays out weekly too, which will be handy. I could use my M&S money for monthly outgoings and the TB money could go straight off my debts.

Next redemption day for TB is Thursday, so I'll try and fit in as much as I can before then in a bid to get a good payout come next Friday.

I've got £2.36 worth of articles waiting to be accepted at the moment. £50 by next week would be great, but £100 would be amazing. I'll see what I can do.

Flaming thunder and lightening woke me up at 1am and kept doing so at regular intervals :mad:. OH slept through the whole thing (one of the advantages of having rubbish hearing I guess - some of the thunder was extremely loud).

So today, I've got my flu jab at 12.15 and have to be at work at 2pm. OH's parents are also descending on us for the weekend, so we need to do a bit of cleaning and tidying this morning. Need to pick up a prescription too.

Not sure I'll find the time to write any articles on TB over the next couple of days, but I'll try and fit a couple in.

Can you not use your work commitments as a reason to escape to the bedroom and avoid the parents?

Hi INOD

Luckily, I'm working the majority of the weekend, so I won't be around anyway. I'll see them an hour or two tonight and not long tomorrow. Perfect!!
