    Yeah but Fay, if you'd have done the one they offered me you would have been in cos it was only 'jo1972's' that weren't allowed :rotfl:

    I've been stuck on Lightspeed surveys for about 6 months now, like to get the £5 Amazon vouchers, just need one more decent survey to get me a voucher then I'm going to stop as they're too frustrating when they screen you out but I don't want to lose when I'm so near yet so far.....

    I only do One Poll and Pinecone surveys now. I got fed up been screened out 20 minutes in! Having said that, it is going to take a long time to get to payout with One Poll - £40 payout! I'm up to £26.20 and that's since August....


    I do yougov and thats a £50 payout . I thought it would take ages to get there ( it has ) but since the 'credit crunch' I've been getting more and more from them so should get there before the summer :rotfl:

    Could you not use string,rope for one of the dogs till you find the other lead ? of course you have to find the rope first which will proberably be under the lead ,:rotfl:

    Dooyoo racks up nicely. I don't find it takes any more time to write a half decent review than it does to wade through surveys I don't qualify for (female, over 40 not Scottish). Pays out in amazon vouchers at £10 and real money at £50.
    You write well so it might be worth a go

    On the food front a lot of people will tell you to meal plan. I don't stick to a rigid plan but will batch cook so i know I have stuff in the freezer that is ready made. I used to make and freeze sandwiches but OH isn't keen. Personally I don't see the difference and it made use of yellow stickered items and a sandwich was already made and I could take it out in the morning and its ready for lunch, or stick it in the toastie machine if I wanted it straight away. I find buying stuff every few days (probably works out as one big shop a week, then a little one to top up milk, bread etc) works better and I waste less.


    .....as for work :mad:

    Hi Unixgirl - am most intrigued in freezing sandwiches. Do you just put bread and cheese together? Cos I guess salad would go all funny?!!

    Thanks!

  • We freeze sandwiches (Makeup - no lettuce or salad) and either eat them as they are (after defrosting) or make cheesy or cheesy-hammy dreams with them.

    Old trick from saving sarnies from village hall doos - the rank one always went either to chickens or into freezer for unwanted or horrible visitors....he he he - we kept the nice ones.

    Freeze sambos or take home and use next day for brekkie
    Whip up an egg - dip sandwich in and fry in pan like french toast
    Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy!!

    Works great for most old sandwiches, stale bread etc - but we haven't diverged much from normal fillings - any cheese is great especially the gooey kinds like edam, etc cos they go all dreammmmy.

    Hungry now!!

    Hmmm, had never thought about this and now am very tempted. Love the egg idea as well. Would be lush with a cheese and ham sandwich!

    And don't take it personally with the survey screen-outs. I get screened out all the time.....I just wish I knew who they were looking for and I could answer as them!

    Maybe men do less surveys - I think I might try pretending to be a man...
