OnePoll is being really tight today! No surveys at all so far :mad:

Still got headache, early (ish) night tonight, assume Hustle isn't on because of the rugby. Think I will have a lavender bath and see if that shifts it.

I need 45p of surveys to hit payout...arghh, the excitement:D I keep checking...but nothing yet today. I often find surveys appear late afternoon, fingers crossed;)

Just done one for 15p. £26.85 now...

Spent £39.22 in Mr S's but got them to take £20 of Nectar points off so less than £20 spent this week. I was being ultra careful though.

Hasn't it been a lovely day?

Had my weekly chat with the CSA last night and they rang me back this morning. Apparently his company has been taken over (I could have told them that) and it looks like he is now being paid less which I actually think is wrong because if it's a takeover I thought that your contract of employment had to be either equalled or bettered? They have spoken to him anyway and asked for his payslips, he says he's sent them in but they don't appear to have them :mad: they are going to get copies from his employer so it will be at least another few weeks before anything is sorted Currently he is £429 in arrears and counting......

£27.50 on OnePoll, getting there slowly but surely.

A few more surveys done on Valued Opinions but it takes a while for the money to credit.

Have been for 2 runs this week

Redeemed a £5 M & S voucher from Texaco today so that will come in handy. I might put it towards a dine in for £10 meal for me and WLM.

Meant to say how pleased I am with the hair colour. I don't see it all disappearing down the plug-hole so it is keeping quite well. Probably would be worth the £9.99 that it costs.

I have been looking at the Grabbit board a lot recently. Pity I don't have any money put aside for treats at the moment. Still, if the CSA money comes in......

I have hoovered all through downstairs tonight and I will mop the kitchen and bathroom floors before I go up to bed. Just got to iron the duvet covers and then I have a chocolate orange that needs my attention

Night all...

I know what you mean about the Grabbit board;) Costs me money looking on there....but the bargains can be brilliant and I have such a stash of pressies for the year:D

How rubbish is that CSA situation:mad: I've never used them...I tried once but they said ex had no income so couldn't pay...well he must have been living on something...cash in hand work, grrrr:( He still doesnt give me enough I don't think, £200 a month for 2 doesn't really sound enough to me...but better than nothing I guess.

Hope you enjoyed the choccy orange...I've gone lactose free to help the tum (and its working) but I do miss chocolate:o

Oh dear:rotfl:Once you start on the Grabbit board you'll probably be there every day and soon you'll have enough toiletries to join me on the "no tolietries thread" Check out the freebies and "low spend freebies" section too. They move slower than Grabbit but there are often nice things on there. There's a thread for free cinema tickets, check that out.

to CSA money, hope that gets sorted soon and :T to onepoll.

Thanks Mags - going to pop over there now

Just joined Pigsback

I think there must be a conspiracy against me - just hopped onto Valued Opinions to update my diary on my 7 day survey I have been doing for them and I have just been filling in the final questionnaire to claim my £4 and it has chucked me out halfway through :mad: and told me to come back later. So I popped onto OnePoll and there was a 20p survey there, brilliant I thought, halfway through that it stopped and said it had finished Grrrrrr :mad:

Have cleaned bathroom this evening and cooked 2 separate dinners as DD said she didn't like what I had planned for us. So, pasta, courgette and broccolli in a tomato sauce for me and salmon pasta for her. All cleared up now.

Got a bit of ironing to do then I am going to whizz round and have a bit of a tidy up, take down DD's birthday cards, then I have an appointment with some viennetta

Does anyone know how many piggy points you need on Pigsback before you can claim and what they are worth?

Right off to check on those surveys again....
