  • Thanks Joey, I have now signed up for that survey site and have carried out £2.30 worth of surveys:)

    Really looking forward to the weekend's activities. Driving down the country today to visit DS1 and staying Fri & Sat. He is going to cook for us tonight which really makes me realise that he is all grown up and an independent man. Its his Birthday tomorrow so will be having a lovely family day. No sure what he has planned and I hope the weather improves.

    Need to post the BIN item as have received payment.

    I have received 2 x £5 vouchers for a local pub/restaurant so hubby and I have decided to have lunch before we set off and pay separately so we can use both of the vouchers, maybe the bar staff will think we are on a first date:rotfl:

    Going to be a spendy couple of days as we need to fill up hubby's car for the journey today although I have noticed that diesel is cheaper than petrol at the moment, need to buy DS1 a birthday present and also whatever activities we do on Saturday which will most likely involve us going out for the evening.

    Goals for today

    HEALTH
    Yoga stretch before and after car journey
    Make healthy choice for lunch

    WEALTH
    Post BIN item sold
    Use 2 x £5 vouchers for lunch
    Check Free Postcode lottery

    HAPPINESS
    Forget about work and do NOT check emails
    Enjoy every second with our Son over the weekend:A

    Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday and Saturday.

    Glad there were some there, the least I've ever been paid on PA was 60p for a 4 minute survey, and the best was £10 for 30 minutes. Most are around £1-£1.50.
    Enjoy your weekend.

  • Had a fantastic weekend with DS1 chilling out round his flat, OH helping him with some DIY jobs and then a lovely evening meal out on the Saturday making good use of an early bird offer. DS1 is a very good money saver so the whole weekend was not as expensive as first thought. We also had a £25 L0tt0 win:j

    Back to work today and I am going in with a positive can-do attitude. Lot's on my to do list.

    Goals for today, aiming for a NSD:

    HEALTH
    Drink lots of water throughout day
    Walk up stairs in building not taking lift (4th floor)
    Take a walk with OH tonight as this helps after a long day

    WEALTH
    Take empty water bottle to fill at water cooler
    Take packed lunch and fruit for snacks
    Remember to fill in mileage claim!

    HAPPINESS
    Take work in my stride, stick to my to-do list and finish one job before starting another
    Go for a short walk around lake near work at lunch time rather than working through
    Remain positive and do not get dragged into negative/moaning conversations

    Hope everyone has a great start to their week:)
