Looks like a sensible and doable plan, Emz. Doable for you anyway as you always manage to achieve so much when you set your mind to it. Good luck with it all. Well done on the overtime, that's a nice amount of extra money..
I used to love it when DH went away for a few days. Sadly, it hasn't happened since the pandemic started. I find I got so much more done when he wasn't here because I can keep on working until late at night, even most of the night if I really want to finish something. I don't need much sleep. DH is such a light sleeper that the slightest sound wakes him up and he gets really cross with me as he can never drop off to sleep again. Even if I flush the loo or run a tap it seems to wake him even though he's upstairs and I'm often doing stuff downstairs. It's a big, solid old house too. Big but definitely not posh in case I've given the wrong impression! Run down and needing some TLC (like me LOL)

I know what you mean about getting more done when you're on your own. I always get up early (5am/6am) and therefore get a load done before OH wakes up 2-3 hours later. I'm quite lucky that my OH is a bit hard of hearing. When he doesn't have his hearing aids in, he can barely hear anything. I reckon I could hoover the bedroom at 2am and he wouldn't even stir!!

It's been a good day earnings wise. Another £5 paid off the card thanks to Prolific - balance is now £2,075. I've done quite a few little surveys, but also managed to write two articles, and I've got one to do tomorrow morning too.

107 Days to Go..........
It's PAYDAY!!!!! I've paid £200 off the card this morning, so the balance is now £1,875!!!!! Target met:Friday 8th January - £2,000Friday 15th January - £1,800Friday 22nd January - £1,650Friday 29th January - £1,500
So I actually only need to clear £75 before next Friday to meet my next target. Hopefully I can exceed that.
Got a parcel being collected today, need to write that article this morning and then try and get another for this afternoon, but that's about it today. Will keep doing surveys in between. I had another shielding letter yesterday, and the new date on it is 21st February. According to the government, I should have received my first COVID jab by then, but we'll see.

Well done on the card payments!
I hope you get your vaccine soon
If you have any part completed cross stitch kits, they definitely sell on ebay. It might be worth listing completed ones if you don't need them, people might buy them!"If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney2 -
I haven't really got anything like that, as I tend to stick to smaller kits, but haven't got any completed or uncompleted. My sister has loads, all stored in a box. I might have to try and do a bigger kit, as I do find it relaxing in the evenings. Might ask for one for my birthday.jwil said:Well done on the card payments!

106 Days to Go..........
£20 paid off the card today as my OH ordered something with my Amazon voucher, so the balance is now £1,855. I'm taking it easy today with the earnings, although there's not much around anyway. I did manage to get 2 articles written yesterday.
OH is away until tomorrow, so will catch up on some TV in peace.
