What date is your birthday? Mine's the 25th and my mum's is the 11th. Happy Birthday for when it comes round.

I have registered with the government after getting my letter last week. They delivered a parcel of food yesterday, which was actually really impressive. I have got my OH here with me, but obviously the less he goes out, the better it is as it lessens the risk of him bringing germs home. We've got a Morrisons deliver coming on the 18th too, so we should be fine with food.

Glad to hear you've been alright, been a bit worried about you!

My birthday's the 21st. Fat chance of going anywhere nice for it... mustn't complain though, it's all for a good reason.

Yesterday's totals:

£0.75 - Prolific
£1.16 - Swagbucks
£11.23 - Textbroker

£13.14

Also off the mark with my April earnings:

£12 - Panelbase

So that £12 has been paid off the Currys debt and that leaves £477 to go.

Glad you're OK and the food parcel situation is up and running.  I usually split my online shopping between Sainsburys and Asda but am also registered with Morrisons as I used to use them a lot of the time until Sains started delivering out into the wilds where we live.  Couldn't get a slot on either for the next fortnight at least so tried Morrisons as a last resort.  Just one solitary slot available at a very late hour last night but I didn't care, I'd have still had it if it had been the middle of the night!  We are self-isolating because DH has a type of leukaemia.  Not on Govt. list but his GP has told him he MUST stay in isolation and me with him just in case I bring the virus in.  Home deliveries are a lifeline to us anyway, not just in these troubled times,  We don't qualify for the food parcels. 

 I was really pleased to see that the last order I managed to get from Sainsburys a fortnight ago came bagged up, like in the 'old' days..  The Asda website also says they bag up deliveries and leave them on the doorstep to avoid contact with self-isolators..  I specifically typed in on the delivery details of the Morrisons website that we were self-isolating but the shopping didn't come bagged up, just came in the crates and the driver decanted everything onto the wide front door step.  Didn't do any harm as most foodstuffs are individually packaged anyway  but not really satisfactory IMO as what would happen if it was teeming with rain?.  Loads of things didn't turn up and I received some strange substitutes for those that they had an alternative for.  Things I would never have accepted normally but there's no way to give them back to the driver when we don't get anywhere near  them so will have to keep them.  Shouldn't grumble though as I'm just grateful to have received a delivery.  At least we have bread and milk again now.  Would be interested to hear how you fare with your delivery, Emz

Take care xx

Didn't reach my target yesterday. I spent a lot of time helping my OH by proofreading a large document he had to produce for his work, so I only got the chance to write one article on Textbroker. I have got one lined up, so might try and catch up with 3 today.

Was a bit annoyed by one I wrote for someone. They accepted the article but left me bad ratings for it without saying why or giving me a chance to correct what they didn't like. I can handle criticism, but want to know what it's for. I've blocked that person now so I can't write anymore for them. Sadly I did write another one for them before this though, so I'm expecting bad ratings for that one too.

Anyway, yesterday's totals:

£5.66 - Textbroker
£0.13 - Prolific

£0.50 - Jupiter

£1.05 - Swagbucks

£7.34
