    Oops, I fell asleep. Sorry everyone.

    I'm so utterly bored. I can't do much from in bed...I'm desperate to do something!

    Laura - I echo what everyone else has said. I hope you are okay.

    (My spell checker is saving me right now, this would be unreadable otherwise!)

    I signed up with a few mystery shopper companies a few years ago and I often get asked to do them even though I've told them I don't want to do anymore, they still sometimes ring me and say 'just on the off chance could you...' again it's mostly TNS for me but the odd retail eyes, they sometimes text me still too saying job in your area, please call us. Yes I would love to but I don't have time or infact the money to spend first. I got into it via a friend back in the mid 90's but gave up after a few years then started again 2006 but gave up in 2008 when I first got diagnosed with the cerebral thrombosis. It was quite enjoyable knowing you were being paid to do what others paid for (meals out etc) but so long winded getting paid. It might have improved in the last couple of years and there is a fair bit of info on this site about them as Nikki says.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: top ten tips for making quick money....turn your trash into cash :rotfl::rotfl:

    Seems to be a bit like a wannabe Martin, but worth a look.

    Yep - I've been signed up to this site for about a year now - was quite good at the beginning - with great tips and new ideas- however, now it's become rather spammy and I've just (for the fourth time) tried to unsubscribe.
    She has now been put more effort into her sponsors I'm afraid, than her readers, so now the advice is all too biased.
    Pity.

    Evening all :-) well I've had a pretty unproductive day really, planted some more runner bean seeds as my mates pet rabbit ate hers so I thought I'd let her have some more! emptied out the slug traps uurrgghhh, sorted out a new phone with o2-getting a blackberry seeing as now I am a posh business woman (hmmm still working on that bit...)
    could have sworn i ordered some crsytals the other day but theres no record of it on the iste or on my paypal account so must have !!!!!!ed that up somewhere...have ordered some more anyway-its not like they wont be used. When they come I have an idea for a new necklace but until then I'm sorta stuck. Hopefully good old camp Gareth will come up trumps and use my necklace in the wedding mag, then I will be inundated with orders....:-) well ya never know :-)
