Very Scary Times......

Emzilla

Need to stop these long periods when I don't post. I am so much more focussed and disciplined when I post on here. Was a bit busy last week as it was half-term and I did a lot of stuff with the kids. I've got a nice quiet week this week though as OH went away last night to Greece for a week with his mate.

Cleaner is currently here doing my penultimate clean. Will be nice not to have to plan stuff around having to be in for the cleaner soon. I'm going to give her the money for the next two weeks so I know that's all paid for.

Been slacking off with the money making. I started the £1k challenge 3 weeks ago and I've only got £58.35 (added another £5 Amazon voucher from Swagbucks since I last posted). I know I can do better than that!! I would like to be over £100 by the end of the week, or at least be waiting for that amount coming in.

Okay, so I've probably not been quite as productive as I should have been this week, however I am nearly there:

Received - £18.30 Prolific and £2 Love2Shop vouchers from the Post Office surveys

Pending - £3 Pinecone, £5 Amazon Swagbucks, £11.60 Panelbase and £5 voucher from Post Office surveys.

Which takes me up to £103.25 when they are all received

Good day in terms of money. I'm now up to £83.65 received and £56.33 pending. I received my £5 Amazon voucher from Swagbucks and I am waiting for:

£3 Pinecone
£5 Swagbucks (redeemed today)
£5 Post Office
£11.60 Panelbase
£11.73 Topcashback
£20 Focus Group (30 minutes that I did this afternoon)

So received and pending is currently £139.98

I've spent a bit today though. I'm having to replace a lot of my clothes since I've put on weight. I'm trying to do it as and when I can get money off. So I've ordered a pack of knickers from M&S (Too much info? - £8 originally, but cost me £5.44 after an offer and my staff discount) and a top and a dress from Dorothy Perkins (25% off both, so they cost me £3.75 and £16.50).

I've also got a couple of new pairs of jeans from my mum's catalogue. They were in the sale and cost £31 and £38, which is cheaper than my usual Next jeans of £45 and I can pay them bit by bit (no interest, don't worry).

I was soooo tempted earlier to get a Dominos in, but have resisted and stuck with freezer food. Can't be ordering new clothes and takeaways!!

Last day for the cleaner tomorrow, but she is already paid. I'm meeting up with my friend at the cinema again to see Late Night and then I've got a few household bits to do before OH gets home on Wednesday. I need to get the washing and ironing up together and clean my animals out.

I've got the hospital on Wednesday morning and my OH is going to get the train and meet me there (he flies back late tomorrow night, so will stay at his mates and then make his way home Wednesday morning).

Cleaner has just arrived to do her last shift. I'll be quite glad when she goes actually. Nice enough woman, I just feel so awkward when she's here. Also waiting for some nebuliser drugs to be delivered between 8 and 10.

I'm all up together with the washing, just need to iron what needs ironing and put it all away later. Might do that before I go to the cinema. Then I can clean the girls out tonight (my animals), but I need to get some more sawdust first.

Received my £3 from Pinecone last night and I've requested a £31.60 payout from Panelbase (that includes the £20 focus group payment).

Well done on the earnings :T

Hospital was a mixed bag. My lung function was 26%. I said to the guy doing it that I did 30% in Harefield and he admitted that their machines would be a bit more accurate than the portable one he was using, so that made me feel a bit better. Plus I haven't really been getting any exercise over the past week or so as my OH has been away.

My weight has gone up again since last time, can't remember the number, but my dietician was pleased!! Had a bit of a lecture from the doctor about lung transplants being the better option etc etc, but then he is very pro lung transplants and wasn't interested in my reasoning at all. I appeased him by saying I hadn't ruled it out completely and was going back to Harefield in September to discuss it further.

I'm going in next week to start 2 weeks of IVs off - hopefully will only be in a few days. And the best news is - I CAN GO BACK TO WORK!!! _party__party__party__party_ - only for 3 hours a week to start with, but I'm so excited!!

Anyway, my total has gone up to £98.38 due to Topcashback paying out. Will try and get some surveys done tonight, but OH is back, so might not get the chance.
