Eeek sorry I tend to get a tad carried away

Mel I love your new pages! they are so lovely why can't I produce nice things like that!!!

Rainmac what is vaued opinions?

I have recently joined onepoll which seems ok, I also registered with panelbase which seems pants as they ask me to do a survey then tell me I am too old!!!!!(I am 25 :mad:) and so rather than give me money they enter me into a prize draw!

I am trying to build up 60,000 points for a voucher on toluna we're almost halfway there but have run out of surveys lol ....

I also did the qype and I am waiting for my voucher

pinkladymel;18625951]I feel embarassed now that my posts are all rambling and nothing substantial

Mel - are you kidding me girl??? I always wait for any new post from you - you are always very nice, warm, helpful, friendly and lovely. It is very heartwarming to read some of your posts - the last one about men was really good. :T:T:T. And I wish I was at least half as organised as you are.
Mooooooooooooooooooooooore pls. :j:j:j

I have updated my blog today with my latest work:
http://pinkladymel.blogspot.com

- love your blog - again, very inspirational for such an uncreative person like me. :-)

The valentines 5ivers thread is really good and I have just got a brilliant idea from there to write a love note for lee on some shrink plastic so he can put it in his wallet. He never takes his wallet out as I have all the money and cards LOL Thought that counts though!![/quote]

Can we have a link pls? :-)

RustyFlange - please - no sorrys are required. :-) Like I said - moooooooooooooore pls. :j:j:j

Ok ladies I have a confession - not very thrify purchase but one that should come in useful.

I brought a Sat Nav - £118, did barter and bargain and smile sweetly, didnt get a discount but did get a free usb cable.

Intend it to be money neutral (at mo its on fathers credit card!!)
got
£46 - from internet activities
£30 - from mystery shops
£42 - to find..........

So funny as my father kicked up such a stink about me haveing one, waste of money, he or I can map read, dont go far enuf, the only motorway I use is M5 to Devon (4 times a yr)........ that I've printed off the route to Wolverhampton uni (got 1st tutorial Sat - help).......

Got back into the car.......1st thing he says are we going to test it on way home, (3 miles), then all way how gd is that, I took a different turn and it corrected itself, wont that be useful, great we can swop it between cars, great Sat, we can test it going to Wolverhampton.......... its now the best thing since buttered bread .......

Wonder if it will find me a man!! xx

Probably get a survey every couple of days but am screened out of some (very annoying :mad:). Payment is between 50p and £2.50 depending on survey length. I did them religiously for a few months and clocked up £30 of Amazon vouchers.

Have sent you PMs to your google email.

Good survey company you get paid in vouchers, I can make £20 to £30 a year, but it ones of those they could offer you 10 surveys, then after the first few questions you get screened out. It just depends on what there looking for, but they are reliable.
(Sorry if thats a bit vague).

Not at all vague, that sums it up perfectly

I too am with Valued Opinions, I do get a fair few through, but find I am screened out of most of them

Pinkladymel - I love your blogspot, puts me to shame as I have got some bits in for scrapping but havn't got round to starting yet -maybe I could start next week with half term...

Can I just ask a silly question about scrapbooking, what type of actual book do you need to use? and do you do a page on say paper and then stick it in...am looking for a real idiots guide I guess

Really pleased as I got £86.30 from Quidco last week, main part of which I had been waiting for since last June! so that has gone into my neutral fund....also picked up a lovely t shirt to finish my nieces birthday present (3 in April) from M&S using part of a credit note (part of my neutral fund) :T

DS's birthday on Saturday too so part of it has paid for his Wii game which was a late comer to his birthday pressies (I am terrible at thinking I havn't got enough and adding stuff last minute)

I would also love to create a few home made gifts, but am pretty hopeless practical wise, does anyone have any foolproof ideas to get me started?

Sorry for all the questions....:rolleyes:
