    Done the 3 mystery shop phone calls and inputted data.... have got the free bingo on the go too.... have done my virtual trading, one trade only - seems like the market is at a bit of a turning point, and doesn't know which way to go.

    Have been trying to open up my new gardening diary, can't do it :( and have decided to skive off and listen to a podcast of Michael Shanks discussing love scenes, and the nagging of the crew telling you to lift your chin etc.... the commentator introducing it sounds a bit bamboozled... Michael does that, lol...

    Am currently going through "post" waiting to be seen - it goes back weeks :o and I just have to start paying attention to it. Then its a trip to the postbox. Oh the glamour of self employment....

    :rolleyes: Not updated since Thursday! Long days out, working and with my sister,thats why. I'm dfw-ing like mad behind the scenes, tho. Here's today:

    - have done the 3rd freebie bet at b365, will only clear about £15 in total, but still, its free, so I'm not complaining.[thats easy to mark as done!]
    - have done the lightspeed surveys I'm eligible for, but still have some yougov I can do. From languishing at one survey a month, a couple are coming through every week at the mo, and I'm up about £12 in the last few months - might get to the magical £50 by Christmas![done yougov, rest to do][rest are now done, only about 20 zoom points in it. Oh, no, I got some decent tns surveys too].
    - have decided *not* to buy the News of the World for the Tesco voucher. I was describing some of my dfw antics to my sister yesterday, and realised that I have about 3 months worth of stuff in my kitchen - there'll be other deals I can use when I've wound my stocks down a bit, I've actually got a storage problem at the mo, don't need more![also easy to mark as done]
    - do the mystery shop printing for next week - there's a lot of them cos of all these phone calls, might as well get it all done in one day.[just finishing off the last of the printing right now - 2 more pages to go - 8 mystery shops in all!]
    - finish off the free bingo money I was given.[done - but there's another one! I can do that tomorrow while inputting data, actually]
    - since my little herbs are all safely planted, do some more general gardening work - get going on recreating access to the next part of the back garden, that would be good.

    Go out! Essential! :cool: :rotfl:[oops, slight problem here - my timing doesn't coincide with what I wanted to go do, so I'm a bit stumped for this, it might just have to be a walk round the block :( ]

    Just entered something called the Taikai tournament at betfair? Heaven knows what it is, but its free, and a recent resolution of mine was to make better use of reload offers - I guess this counts as one!

    _pale_ Hi Sea - I know, the News of the World, how can I buy that at my local newsagent? :eek: .

    The voucher thing is good, I think - all those lightspeed surveys and what not, if I managed to do every survey that came into my inbox, I'm sure I could get there.

    How are you? On the up again, I think?

    Blimey, thats a lot of money for a survey - ciao is like that, there are still those 10p ones, which I simply delete, but there are others of much better quality (KC leaps off to her inbox to check if any are still open).

    Hurray, just got the gardening to do now. I may open a bottle of something this evening, and I have 3 dvds from blockbuster on the greasypalm trial, good ones too - Children of Men (apocalypse and Clive Owen, can't be bad), The Golden Compass, and The Da Vinci Code.

    I did go and buy the news of the world, for the Tesco voucher......but I did take the time to explain to DD that it was not something I would be too quick to be seen with :o , and that she need not worry too much about our "social standing" :rotfl:
