    evening!
    Nice to see you around again Doodles!

    The only survey sites I use are lightspeed and pinec0ne. p!necone is a good one to get its £3 per survey and you're never signed out. banners are hard to find but there's usually a link to where one is over on the up your income boards.

    Ever get the feeling that someone's deleted the last few weeks of their diary and you don't have a clue what's happening? :D Serves us right for being a bunch of voyeurs!
