    Oooooh thanks for that:p Will take the curtains down again when the sun comes aout and try that, fingers crossed;)

    I've just written a big letter or complaint to the hospital as I've been waiting so long and they say I'm not likely to be in until July - that'll be a wait of 6months:mad::mad: SO, at the recommendation of someone who works there that I know, she's told me to write to the top guy....I've laid it on thihckly....poor single mum struggling here, ruining my work life and my student life...fingers crossed eh:o

    Tax credits went in as normal today - so Monday's £165 must have been a back payment as last year's earnings were a little less than I'd told them - yay for extra cash:beer: Good timing too as it's DD1's bday on Sunday so we're out for a family meal on Sat night and having a chinese on Sunday - dd's choice. She didn't want a party or sleepover with friends so a takeaway's a fair swap for that (and cheaper!)

    Nothing else much - £9 Quidco this month cleared and £17 Pyapal money tranferred to savings this morning.

    Off for a morning at work, feeling quite bright and breezy as was fast asleep by 10 last night:p ALso I weighed in at 9st 5.5 today...officially yesterday was weigh in day but I knew I was very bloated and not right so didn't beleive yesterday's fluctuating weights!!

    Have agood day people:T

    Evening:D
    Had a lovely weekend - despiye me feeling rough on Saturday we went out for a meal with my mum and stepdad, sis, her hub and 3 girlies - was very nice food. DD1 enjoyed her cake (and our singing!), balloon and steak dinner!
    On her birthday, on Sunday, we just stayed at my sister's, picked up a chinese on the way home - dd's choice, it was a lovely treat:p
    So, really didn't spend much - stepdad bought the meal, i bought cake and cardsin Tesco on Sat, spent £16 once I'd added in the few groceries too. £20 on the chinese yesterday, also bought an aerial tot ry get a tv to work in my room, but no luck - so will get that £20 back in Argos soon.

    £3 received today in Paypal for a survey - trying to complete another one but it gets stuck partway thro so have emailed about that - i want to complete it and get £3:rotfl:

    DD2 has her Year6 SATs this week, bless her, she's worked hard and will do very well:D

    Ok, off to lie on the sofa with a mag - am so tired, even though I slept from 1-3 after work today:o

    Hospital should have received my letter today - have the email address of Mr chief exec too;)

    Fingers crossed for you with the hospital! I hope they listen!

    Sounds like you had a lovely weekend

    What surveys do you do? I am trying to find some good sites. I use global test market, one poll, valued opinions, to luna and panel base so far. Trying to get a lot of vouchers for xmas!!

    Kel - I only really do Valued Opinions (for the Amazon vouchers!)and Pinecone - you can only join them via a banner if you find one or referral - if I get a referral email inviting friends I shall send one to you! Don't get a huge amount of surveys from them but when I do, they're not that long and pay £3 Pypal each, so not bad;)
    Oh and I do Onepoll - am only on £25 though...that's a lotmore 10p surveys to get to the magic £40!!!

    Thanks Milly..would be great if you get a referal for pinecone. I keep seeing this popping up everywhere! The odd £3 in paypal would be handy. I am finding global test market send me about 3 surveys average a day. I usually get through to about 3 a week. These are worth about £1 each (30points) When you get to 1000 points they do a bank transfer for $50 (£32) In about 3 weeks i am a third of the way there :jTo luna aren't very rewarding i am finding...lots of work for minimal rewards!!!

    LOL my one poll is only at £5.35 after about 2-3 weeks. I am hoping to get it to £40 for xmas. Will sort out presents for 4 of my siblings! :D
