My new hoodie, how cute is it? Seriously lovin’ it.

Need I say more? I need this bag.

So, I haven’t been blogging with an update on my £10 a day challenge but I have been doing it each and every day.

Here’s my totals so far, maybe not what I was looking for but it’s a good attempt for my first time.

£25 voucher to spend in work for winning Store Of The Quarter.
£20 in Payu2Blog payments
£24 in PayPerPost payments
$15 in PayPerPost referal payments (not approved yet)
$32.49 from Amazon’s mTurk
£4.30 from onepoll.com
£47.50 from Quidco (won’t count until it’s physically in my account though)
£1.26 from interest payments in my savings account.

So, it’s not £10 a day. But it is extra money that will come in incredibly handy in the run up to Christmas. Plus it’s not taken me that much effort or time to rack up these payments at all, I’ve actually spent less time online in the past few weeks than usual due to starting my new job and being tired from all the hard work!

So, are any of you taking part in this? Where do you make extra money from online?

So I survived my mammoth 15 hour shift on Sunday pretty well actually. I didn’t feel tired until I stepped out the shop and started walking down to catch my bus home and I only drank one cup of coffee all day and, surprisingly, only one can of RockStar Juiced the entire day. That’s pretty impressive because I’m addicted to that stuff, usually drinking 2 cans on a 10 hour shift when it’s on offer. Actually, there’s always an energy drink on offer, wither it’s Relentless, Rockstar or Spar Blue Bear, so I go through the stuff like there’s no tomorrow. And I wonder why I have problems staying awake if I haven’t had any?

The only problem that I had on Sunday was when I counted the safe just before closing time it was £10 short, which means it’s probably in one of the tills for the day and I screwed up giving out change. Ick, I hate when that happens. It’s so silly too, but sometimes it happens when I’m rushing about.

Yesterday I went shopping with my mother and bought the cutest hoodie imaginable. It’s by SoulCal and it’s green with lots of cupcakes on it and it’s just so my style. The best part was that it only cost me £5. I also got a pair of Crafted slouch jeans for £10 and a hoodie for my brother’s birthday. I could have spent so much more but I was on my best behaviour because I was with my mum. When we were in the ‘posh’ part of the shopping centre it was all I could do not to buy the boyfriend a Patek Philippe watch for his Christmas, or a Julian McDonald handbag for myself, but then I remembered that I’ve got no money this month so it’ll have to be put off til I next get paid and I seriously start my Christmas shopping.

Today I’m going to go for a sunbed (shh! I know it’s bad for you) and finish off all my coursework so that I’m ahead of myself a bit when I’m next at the office.
