Thanks me too! Although, i have remembered i did apply for 5 free lightbulbs a few weeks back, I bet thats what it is!

Hi all,

I cant believe its friday 2morrow already! The weeks are going so quickly! Christmas will be here in an instant!

I picked up the parcel from royal mail, it wasnt the lightbulbs or a win1 Its was a loreal free sample! 2 little bottles and a £2 off coupon in a little box.:o

Had a little spend yesterday. £2.98 on a pingu dvd from Asda online.

Im trying hard to get 5,000 more toluna points to get my voucher, ive done lots of surveys for them recently but its taking ages for them to add my points! So im doing the 15 point votes.

I have decided to quit toluna once i can claim another voucher, not worth it i don't think. Only 7000 points to go :rolleyes:

Ohh, you must have loads of Boots goodies then! You inspired me to read the Boots thread and I'm looking forward to the 75% off sale they always have.

Does everyone else on this thread do surveys etc? I used to be really good when I first joined MSE but sort of just stuck with pigsback and even that seems a bit daft at times as it takes ages to save.

Yeah, most do the surveys. You can do really well out of them, this year my total vouchers i have received is £297. I can refer you to all the ones i do if you havent already joined them. You will need to PM me your email address, to refer you to any. I have saved up £100 worth of Boots vouchers! I would love to spend them in the Xmas sales but there for when we start a family.

Morning,

Im expecting a few parcels from the posties today, so im sitting here on the PC in my PJ's waiting for him! As i know if i get in the bath his bound the ring the doorbell and then take my parcels back to royal mail centre.

Im rather anoyyed as yesterday morning i went to Asda before work as they have Call of Duty 5 on PS3 for only £27 unitl 2moz. They went on that price at midnight i got there at 8am and they were out of stock! I cant belive people went there at midnight! I dont know when they will be in stock again...they probably wont until its gone back upto full price i bet. My OH wants it for xmas. Its about £40 everywhere esle. I will try asda again today.

Im hopefully going into town today with OH for more attempted xmas shopping! BHS has a 20% off sale on, i love there xmas gifts, hopefully i can find something for my nan and grandad in there. Its also grandads birthday next week, then mums then nephews! AAhhhh!!!! I hope i can still reach the £2000 in ISA before xmas!

Im back from a hard days shopping!

I got the £27 call of duty world of war PS3 game from Asda!!!! Someone on here said they had them in stock at my local Asda at lunch time. So i raced down there 2 hours from when the OP posted they had stock. There wasnt any on the shelf, i asked and they had them behing counter! And i got asked ID!!!! It was for a certificate 15!:rotfl::o I said do i really look under 15 years old?! with my credit card in hand! She said thats why there behind counter as teenagers are trying to buy them and Asda are hot on ages. :rolleyes:

Then OH and i went to Lakeside shopping, it was manic there! OH hates shopping in crowds..poor thing. I dragged him around all the shops. I got 2 more christmas presents. And 2 jumpers and 1 tops for me! Only Primark tops though so only cost £26.99 for all 3. There isnt a Primark where i live so always have to pop in there when we go Lakeside for a look at the bargins!

Total spent today £59.
I put it all on my Asda credit card ...all will be paid off in full when bill comes. I buy everything on my Asda card now as its safer on credit card and because i get asda points on everything i buy on it, and they get converted to asda vouchers every November.

I have 2 birthday presents left to buy, and 3 xmas presents left to buy.

Evening,

I spent 3 hours today typing 52 reviews on Qype. I saw it last night but didnt bother doing it as it was too late at night. Then this morning i couldnt resist seeing its £50 amazon vouchers!!! Thats nearly the full price of a Wii Fit! I had to type them mega fast as my dad was moaning about me being on the PC.I wrote about 3 paragraphs for each review. Ive had an email to say as long as my reviews are good enough my voucher will be sent before the 10th DEC.

Ive brought most of my xmas presents now, i was thinking i might get a Wii Fit with it! Not 100% sure yet though.

I will carry on writing review for them, ive i do another 50 i can get a ipod shuffle! Although i may have to write about another towns shops now, as ive done all of Chelmsfords!:rolleyes:
