    oh no, I would stay living in sin and £600 a month better off I think!!!! How does that work then? I am married but we were actually better off for being married as you get a tax allowance for it or not being married and having children. I dropped into the higher tax bracket last year (just) with the overtime and don't think it made a difference. Probably never get into that bracket again as all overtime has been stopped now.:eek:

    Not liking chocolate, thats just not right!! :rotfl:

    thanks pipsmum, forgot about YouGov, already on that one. Been signed up for over a year and only have £25, will I ever get to that £50 in my lifetime?? Have tried to get signed up with Pinecone but you need an invite apparently. Wil try the other. Thanks for that. Done ok with surveys this month, managed to get a £10 voucher from Valued Opinions for M&S and £10 Amazon voucher from Lightspeed, gone in the Christmas savings box. Yes my hubby said he would never get married, my oldest was five before we did. He also said he would never have any more children after the first who was a nightmare, and now we have 3, so never say never!! :j

    thanks for that, signed up for that so just waiting to hear from them. Lightspeed seem really good, I do get at least 3 or 4 a week but the points seem to have come down to 80 and they used to be at least 100. I have had a few testings recently where they sent me biscuits and then shaving foam and I had to review them, it was only 250 points but it all adds up. I am going to try saving all the vouchers I get as when you spend a fiver here and then you don't notice it. If anybody is interested in attending forums Saros are brilliant. They usually pay the minimum of £50 for giving your opinion on a new product. Its usually in a nice hotel somewhere too and its great fun. Most seem to be in London but I have done about 8 in Birmingham. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
