    aww thank you guys, have been rating dooyoo all evening tonight, think my eyes are going all blurry now!

    committed probably because I dont have a life lol I do seem to spend a hell of a lot of time on my lappy. If I am at home it is unusual for it not to be on my lap! But then it does help me earn the extra that I need :D

    I am not on there, do they have free scratchies ;)


    No free scratchie but i got my sign up money doubled for joining via quidco when they had an offer a few weeks ago, then got an extra free £5 credit through bingoport, and they have a free game at 7pm every night which you can play even if your account is not in credit.

    Just grabbed a great bargain!!!

    Asda have an offer of 3pks of school uniform for £10. It is supposed to be a weeks worth of uniform but yuo can buy anything on the page. I just bought FOUR cardigans (in packs of 2) and 20 shirts (in pks of 5) all for just £20 delivered!!

    An amazing bargain I think as even just the four cardigans on there own would be more than that normally.

    I am so glad I checked HUKD today :D

    well I am being terrible and having a Very spend day today :o

    Have bought the above which is required so I am allowed but then went to charity shop to take some stuff there and thought I would have a look, ended up buying £7 worth of stuff but got DD three tops, skirt, and a poncho she desperately pleaded for got DS2 a pair of shorts and I got a blouse and three quarter trousers for work and a tshirt!
    then went to another shop and got DS2 a top and shorts for £6
    then went to another couple of charity shops and got him another few pairs of shorts, me a pair of white shorts and DD a gorgeous top total £5


    so in total I have got 4 tops, a poncho and a skirt for DD, 4 shorts and a top for DS2 and a work top, trousers. shorts and a tshirt for me (15 items) :D

    spent a total of £18 on clothes but got quite a bit that would have been triple that in the shops and have now got enough shorts for DS and me and a nice couple of tops for DD for hols.

    So I go and hang my head in shame at my spending spree but I blame the hot weather!

    Took the kids to the park this afternoon and I have changed our visit to cadburys world to tomorrow.

    had one survey sent and accepted today so 75p in the VO pot :D

    I have been perusing the focus groups sites today and it is amazing how much they pay, most of them are in London grrr, but I am thinking that if it is a day off for me and the money is good (some are like £90 for 2 hrs) then the travel cost would be worth it when the kids are at their dads or at school.

    I have applied to do one online which would make £20 sent by cheque and I will keep checking it daily as it seems you have to be quick on some of them for the good high paid one. There is one about playing bingo online but its in the evening and 3 hours long, you have to be quizzed by 400 people in the audience :eek:

    There is also one on there for a family that live in London and they will have people come to their home and see how they use their technology and they would get paid £250 for 12 hours work!! cracking stuff if you are successful (wish I lived near london now lol)

    Your school uniform bargain makes me wish i knew what my DS1 needs. Until i have the meeting for him starting nursery i have no idea. I might mention that one to my sister as she works there too so she could grab a great bargain.

    Don't stress about the clothes spends. At least you are not paying full price for the stuff. And the stuff that goes to charity shops can be so nice.

    Enjoy Cadburys world. :D I would love to go there when my two are bigger.
