    I find ipsos, lightspeed, pinecone and panelbase pay me well, but I must fit their criteria

    Do onepoll, toluna, valued opinions and others but payout is either very little or takes a long time

    Hope this helps

    remember I can refer people to panelbase if you like and I get 20p for dong it!

    Well not a very mse day today - My hairdresser isn't in on sunday so I am going to get my hair done tonight which means my husband is taking a half day hol to take me and child which means he'll be taking her to the piccies or for something to eat while I'm in there which will cost some pennies, and my hair usually costs about 60-70 pounds:eek: I've put it off long enough though - haven't had my colour done since november, roots...:eek:

    Afternoon ladies :hello:

    scattymam & mel - I am just as bad with my hair, hate forking out £70 to get my hair done! My natural colour is very dark but I used to have it light brown and my roots would always be shocking :o I decided to go darker and bought a kit from boots and I hate it now. Going to go to the local college and get them to do something with it, it'll only cost about £20 instead of £70 ;)

    Also mel - I just voted for you again, you're very talented :)

    Goochie - hope your gran is feeling better.

    Mhagster - you are definitely a thrifty gifty mummy ;) Your daughter will have a brilliant birthday by the sounds of it :D

    aloiseb - It's not pathetic hun :) I'm sure i'll end up doing the same one day soon! :rotfl: I don't think it's so bad, least we get something we know we want/like ;)

    Hope everybody's little ones are feeling a bit better to today?

    I sat on this bloomin computer all day yesterday and i'm not still not really any further forward on my website :rolleyes: I get distracted too easily :rotfl: I'm not going to get much done on it today either because I have decided I am having a cleaning day and it's not very often i'm in the mood for cleaning so I need to get as much done as possible before it goes away :rotfl:

    Have a good day everybody :D
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:
    I :heart2: my doggies

    Afternoon all, hope everyones fine

    Talking of hair cuts I had mine done last year in March before my 50th and since then I get my 13 yr old daughter to cut it for me, she just trims off the same amount all over each time and I give her a fiver pocket money. Very MSE for both of us lol.

    Had a fruitful morning, decided to sort out my gifts as they were everywhere, found the box off the new hoover in the cellar so have used that (not left in cellar mind you). Found I had only got 6 presents towards OH's 30 for 30yrs plus his scrapbook which I have half done. Wrapped up the ones I have got already though and wrapped my Grandson's birthday presents.

    Have requested another redeem for a £5 amazon voucher from Bingoport, that will be 2 and I will use them to get some dvds for OH. Not sure if you can use more than one per transaction, I'm hoping you can.

    Off to do some more knitting, half way through ex MIL's waistcoat now.
