pammyj74's MFW diary (or possible wishful thinking!!)

oh good luck with the exams, I have slipped down a huge slope with my study. I guess because I dont have to be ready for a certain time and doing it at my own pace (or snail pace) I have put it on hold for a while goes to hang head in shame

Good luck with the studying baby steps..and Pammy, it doesn't matter how long it takes to do. There's never any prizes for passing everything first time or in the shortest amount of time possible.

Aren't tesco CC vouchers great for days out

Onepoll are great - I find it quite funny how their surveys often seem to be quoted on our local radio station on the way to work..

pammyj74

yeah onepoll is mentioned on 8 out of 10 cats aswell sometimes. I never hear of any other ones.

did another review last night, so have 34 more to do

need to do 4 signs this morning and get them posted before 11am! ebay clear profit is at £8.60, not massive amount but it all adds up eh AND asda finance has been received on quidco so thats another £49.50 (only took a year!!! :cool:

Hi Pammy, Congrats with the ebay, its been a while since i have done any myself.......need to get motivated!! Goodluck with the studying, when you have passed your exams will you have an increase in income?... no doubt you will have worked out how this will affect your o/p's...:rotfl::rotfl:.

yes that is my incentive haha, but sometimes wondering whether it will bring extra stress as well in the workplace? There has to be a balance. At the moment my job is quite easy (has its bad days every once in a while)
but definitely looking at the salaries on Reed perks me up for me to carry on!

forgot it was free ebay listings today so have relisted a few things that didnt sell last time.

Also saw on HUKD that it is Open Farm Sunday next weekend openfarm link if anyone is interested.
I have emailed my local farm to book me and the kids in, hope the weather is good

no surveys as yet today, not even on onepoll

pammyj74

just screened out of VO. they are getting annoying now as you really need to do them as soon as they come through to get accepted.

DD has come home saying she wants a hamster! grrr. I dont really like little rodents lol and I have agreed if she can keep her room tidy for 2 months. I know that is steep but I have told her she has to be determined if she really wants one as she will have to look after it herself and clean it out etc. She has now made a mock up cage with a small cuddly toy, food dish, small housing, and a playtoy. I dount she will do the task I set her but if she does I will fulfil my end of the bargain. :mad:

Did 3 reviews on dooyoo and just have 31 more to do grrrrr!


Ebay - some people just dont look properly on there. I have signs that I print and laminate. I sell a few of them at a start of 99p and they finish every couple of days. So if you bid and lose then if it were me I would bid on the next one. Someone today bid up to £4.40! I feel guilty selling it to them for that price as its just a bit of paper with some stuff on it and laminated!!!
I will send them something extra to go with it.

ebay profit then is at £16.16 at the moment and I have just withdrew £20 from paypal.

Hi Pammy, I have found that with VO as well lately, sometimes after a couple of hours they are full.
I have just registered for yougov and will check out some others to join I think.

pammyj74

wow you get up very early newgirly! I have been put off by yougov as people havent said good things about them.

today only survey sent and accepted GTM 40 pts. I am up to 360 on there again already these seem to be the best ones as I get them nearly every day.

Had a thought that DS2 might be off today so checked and I was right so we walked DD to school this morning, half way there realised she had left her PE bag, so me and DS2 went shopping, then the park, then came home and put bolognese in the SC, put some washing out and then walked back to school to drop her kit off. Its a 30 minute walk there and back. we will have to walk there again to pick her up later! Kids have swimming later as well.

Another item sold on ebay so profit is £18.70 at the moment Need to get four done and sent.

Want to try and get another couple of dooyoo reviews done.

Got my asda school gear today and they have sent 3 packs of girls and 1 boys rather than 2 of each. I am hoping my lad wont realise as they are both buttoned to the collar and you cant really tell.

Well done on your e-bay profit..it all helps..

How old is your DD? I had hamsters from about 12-17 (they only live a couple of years)..

VO are driving me mad with the screening out as well. I do have about £30 to cash in with amazon vouchers though. In terms of you gov, I have mixed opinions. I've been with them for about 2.5 years and still only at £42.50. The level to withdraw is £50. The downside obviously is how long it takes to get to the cash out level, esp when considering I did a one off survey that was for £10. I don't expect I'll reach £50 this side of Christmas - I had a lot in the run up to the general election but only one since. However on the plus side, you never get screened out. I figured I don't mind keeping with them as one day I'll get to the £50 and it'll be a good addition to my overpayment.
