Prolific up to £10.56/£29.10 pending - I am aiming for £26.23 today so I can get to the 700s of my mission. I am absolutely not spending today, but I am going to bake flapjack and banana bread! I am also going to job search like crazy and I have been doing, I am hoping to hear back from some jobs that I have applied for today. MD said there is only one job she can think of that needs doing, but it is not needed just yet, plus mowing the lawn now and again. I have just sent an email off selling myself to a company prepared to pay for 48 hours a week, which would be like going from one extreme to the other which is pretty much me all over! Wish me luck!

@dawnybabes when does the summer hols start for school kids is it beggining of July until beggining of September? Thank you. What will I do without beautiful surveys? My lifes blood 😂😂😂.
A least I went and I tried.
sometime later - He later called and He said not to worry that much he said I am in a better position then before you came and I am 99% likely to pay you in full, he said I saved him, also thank you.
Sometime later - I have been paid I receive funds in 3-5 days, I need to go back tomorrow to finish the job he said he would pay an extra £10 for fuel, I really don't mind I will be better tomorrow after a kip. It is just a bit of de dusting and shower cubicle. Also he has left a five star review. Which will help with future work. I can do this!Missions for the rest of the year:-

I have had three jobs so far on Airtasker, clean house success and completed, Mow lawn Oooh that reminds me I better arrange the timing and lastly I have done a print job for someone, I look forward to receiving all the wonga, which is all earmarked for credit card. My credit card stands at £800 as of today I paid off £24.25 from excesss cash I already had in my bank account. I am expecting the following cash over the coming week:-
I already have ready in the account £5.75, Plus £38, Plus £10, Plus £38, Plus £7.60 Plus anything from prolific:- Total £99.35 plus, I am going to keep the money in a holding account until I reach £100 then pay off in chunks of £100, so I should be down to £700 by the end of next week and be on my way to the next £100.
More importantly I have two interviews, one imminently and another being lined up for either tomorrow or Friday so fingers crossed. I have spent money today but because it was part of a paid job I don't think it counts, I will check with @cathybird
Have a good day allXX

OOh stroke of positive news I have a second interview tomorrow, and I am having strong me vibes from a message I sent in relation to VAT returns, all my knowledge came back to me, they haven't decided whether to go p/t or f/t but I am happy either way obviously I would prefer Full time. A bit worried as I am due to mow a lawn in the morning I could feel a bit knackered after, but there is a bit of a gap inbetween to recover. Its all go here!Missions for the rest of the year:-

I think I have screwed up, I went to mow someones lawn and found I couldn't do it, so I asked her to re-assign someone else to the task, but when I agreed to the cancellation I went so fast I saw a £8.70? something that was a cancellation fee I think which will be dedcuted from my account, I am not liking air tasker so much anymore! I was just too unfit for the task, I don't think I should be penalised! ohh well lesson learnedXXMissions for the rest of the year:-
