  • Yes i know its silly AM before anyone says anything but i will update whats going with me. I cant sleep as i had few drinks at home last night and my sleeping pattern is a tad out.

    Anyway developments the first one being i have a date with a lass i used too work work with next friday. We met on a dating site gerrrrr i hate the bloody things but a friend badgered and badgered me too go on. Shes called lets just call her Red lol She in her early 30's and has a two year old daughter.

    Next my back i am doing everything i can too improve it, i am stretching 2-3 times a day, ice packs still and ice freezy gel etc etc Bar not being 100 percent straight when i stand i am a boat load better, i am now down to 1 or 2 codeine a day from 6-8 and i am still taking a naproxen or two. I am walking without pain, and going from sitting too standing without pain now yay and i can put my trainers on without crying like a girl now.

    Money wise everything is good, Qmee has being quite busy today i totalled up earlier and i have drop £3.85.

    I have done 1 prolific survey and i drop 4.85 quid from there this morning.

    I am sitting on 500 points ish on swagbucks. And i think my opinion outpost account is on 35 points draw down is 50points.

    Other money earnings are 29p cashback this morning.

    I have split anything coming in today across my Monzo pots. The balances aren't great as i have pulled out a fortune this month on osteopath and deep tissue massage. But i have a list of about 7 pots. I am planning on treating myself abit cycling gear wise and i fancy picking up the guitar again. I also have a pot for my son when he turns 18/ i am saving for a new house ie mortgage deposit. And i have an EF and should we say social/drinks fund.

    Anyone that doesnt have Monzo do it lol.
  • Well my update i have had a dead quiet day today or should i say yesterday ooops i have just noted the time. Today has consisted of a bit shopping this morning a huge spender me 5quid in tescos 3.50 in home bargains.

    Both receipts have being uploaded too Shoppix and Receipt Hog obviously lol. Receipt hog is so slow but Shoppix i am on 2500 points. My personal review is i prefer Shoppix definetly they have more chances too click extra points ie retailer review surveys which if you do you then get scratchcards which potentially can be more points.

    Bar that today all i have done is abit gentle yoga too try and get my back working. And then the usual really surveys and watching tv and abit cleaning. I have had a good day with Qmee i totalled it up earlier and i am onto 6quid for the day ie Monday. I have also just dropped another 2.50 from opinion outpost. Another money top up i have had today is 43 quid from Ebay i have sold an old bike of my sons that he had outgrown thats getting collect Wednesday.

    My Monzo pots are growing at a rapid rate of knots. I love this app its so good compared to my banks app. My only criticism is the dayglo orangey pink card isn't really me lol.
  • Well i think i am mending i managed 2 miles on my bike earlier. I am hoping i have fixed this bloody back of mine as i am pig sick of it. I think i am officially now a yogi lol

    Survey wise i have just done a few Qmee surveys, other sites i am getting bot all off today. I have pushed uk toluna on 5000 points but it will July before i reach payout on that.

    I wont boss i promise i am just bored as i am still signed off with my mental health for another 3 weeks. Not training has being a killer there are only so many surveys and only so much netflix and amazon i can stomach. I haven't trained today unless 30mins yoga counts and a walk too the home bargains.

    Thanks re the date she is an ex work colleague that found me on a dating sit. I am not hopeful being truthful. I also have a mate being cupid who has set me up to go with a friend of there for coffee on wednesday. I am kinda more nervous re the second one lets call her R.
  • Jaysus i have the hangover from hell today, my date went really well last night with red i was a bad man though :-(.
    Lucosade and surveys and iburofen are getting hammered while i die on the sofa.
