    I'd rather stick red hot forks in my eyes than move south. I can't really respect a part of the nation that's never accepted that chip shops should serve gravy with their chips!
    LOL!!!

    End of week 2 and, after a slow few days (mainly because you can't do much online when you're camping by the sea in Dorset :D) netting me £1.07, I'm back on track with £110 since yesterday morning (although the bulk of that was the culmination of work spread over the first 8 days) and a total of just over £266. Canbet have made me a nice offer I can't refuse :D I'll be disappointed if I end less than £60 up from that.

    The vast majority is from MBing, with a bit from surveys, and a tiny contribution from a few clicky things.

    p.s. I notice a few of you are dabbling in MBing. I'm happy to try and provide any help should people need it.
