    Another good day. Had to pick up some medication from the hospital this morning and OH took me out for a meal at lunch.

    On the earnings front:
    • I finally finished that monster article and have another short article lined up that I will be able to do tomorrow.
    • Swagbucks second target - I've got enough for a £5 voucher, but might hang on for a £10 Mastercard as it's less Swagbucks overall.
    • Received a £10 Mastercard that I had already ordered from Swagbucks. Will save it and pay it off OH's phone bill when it comes through.
    • Claimed £20 PayPal from Mindmover
    • Managed to grab a 75p survey on Prolific
    February Earnings so far:

    £20 PayPal (pending from Mindmover)
    £10 Mastercard (received from Swagbucks)
    £5 M&S voucher (pending from Jisp)

    £35

    Good day. Spent most of it with my niece, nephew, sister and mum. Watched the football and had a lovely roast dinner. Busy day tomorrow getting ready for the hospital (if they have a bed for me).

    Not much done money wise today as I left my laptop at home. Will have to do that small article tomorrow morning. I still have:
    • Reached the first Swagbucks target - that was a challenge in itself as there were hardly any surveys etc. I'll try and get to the second target before 8am tomorrow, but won't sweat it if I can't
    • Sold an animal cage on Gumtree for £35 - I spent a lot of time last week cleaning it up. The last of my elderly degus passed away a couple of weeks ago, so it was her cage.

    February Earnings so far:

    £35 Cash (received from Gumtree sale)
    £20 PayPal (pending from Mindmover)
    £10 Mastercard (received from Swagbucks)
    £5 M&S voucher (pending from Jisp)

    £70

  • Wow, you have done an excellent job of earning extra in Feb!

    I'm thinking of signing up for Textbroker - is it complicated to set up?

    Thanks :)

    It's not too hard, you've got to write a test article and they grade you on that and then you can start choosing jobs. It's not that great pay-wise, but it's a dance like better than nothing!

    Think I've misjudged how easy it would be to make money in hospital. Way too many interruptions this morning to get anything done. I've only managed to get to my second Swagbucks target and do a 30p survey on Prolific.

    I'm hoping it will calm down this evening. I might just concentrate on surveys whilst I'm in, as they're not as taxing as the writing. I'm coming out Friday though, so won't be too long.
