Morning all,
Well I just cannot work out my boss at the chip shop. He was as nice as pie yesterday! I actually enjoyed my shift!
It's also pay day today which makes it much better£110 will be making its way into my pocket later this evening. It will only be there for a short while until its paid into the OP savings account though to earn me a little bit extra in interest
I've got a split shift today at the chippy so I'm working 12pm-2pm and then 4.30pm - 8.30pm so sadly it means not much time to do things inbetween (especially as I have to collect son from work and take daughter into work during that time) so I'm going to try and be realistic about what I can achieve today. On the plus side it does mean that hopefully today will be another NSD so will enable me to add a further £5 into the pot - fingers crossed.
Here's my (not so) little list for today:-- Play on Mistplay - DONE 101 points earned today (25p)
- Complete a Nectar survey - DONE one survey for 40 points completed and disqualified from 2 so 4 extra points added
- Transmit barcodes and receipts to Shop and Scan - DONE (worth equivilant of £1.60)
- Raise claim with Royal Mail for missing parcel (£22.95) - DONE
- Enter competitions - DONE 30 comps entered
- Check free postcode lottery, Win a Dinner and Freemoji - DONE not a winner
- Complete a survey/searches on Inbox Pounds - 7p from searches and 6p from spin to win but timed out of all surveys
- Complete a survey on Panelbase
- Complete surveys on Prime Opinion
- Comment on in search of posts on FB to hopefully get some orders
- Get rid of 5 things from the conservatory - DONE black bag full of old packaging, boxes, bags etc
- Explore an idea on my brainstorm list to try and get another income stream start
- NSD - DONE £5 transferred to OP savings account
- Chippy shift lunchtime - DONE £21.60 earnt
- Chippy shift evening - DONE

Glad to hear boss was nice yesterday.
I wonder what triggers the change in their behavior?

Hi everyone.
A bit later today again as treated myself to another lie in and then have been busy taking kids to work.
I slipped over on my chip shop shift yesterday on some oil/water on the floor and have really hurt myself. My knee has a big cut and is bruised and hurting like heck and my elbow has a large lump on it and really hurts too. It is so painful when I straighten it and I cannot hold any weight in my hand on that side without shooting pains going up my arm. Add to that my back is also black and blue and I've got a bad headache, I don't think I'll be capable of getting much done today. I honestly don't know what hurts most! On the plus side hopefully he will be nice to me for the next few shifts (luckily not back in until Thursday as I think I need time to recover).
So here's my little list today. I am only adding in things which I can do sitting down and one armed as my body is letting me know my limitations today! Luckily OH has a day off today so he can drive me to the post office later so I can pay in my wages
Here's my little list for today:-- Play on Mistplay -64 points so far
- Complete a Nectar survey
- Submit Food on the Go pasty bought via app - DONE should get 250 points (25p)
- Pay in wages - DONE £110.70 transferred into OP savings account
- Cash in scratch cards found lying around house - DONE managed to cash in 5 out of the 6 and got £11 so added this to the OP savings pot. Got a number to phone to see if I can cash in the older one which is worth £5 so fingers crossed
