    I don't think there were any surveys there today - I checked about 4 times and nowt...:( So you havent missed out! I'm quite pleased to be on £10.40...not bad seeing as I got my £40 about 3 weeks ago - you'll hit it this week:T:T

    That's good. I kept meaning to check but in all honesty I couldn't get anywhere near the PC for all the stuuf that was blocking it!

    £10.40 is really good going in just 3 weeks :T

    I haven't stopped all day :( Got everything done that I needed to and have just finished ironing so I think i completed my list of jobs :)

    Ordered DD's carpet. It came to nearly £220 :eek: naively i thought I could get it cheaper than this but the carpets that were really heavily reduced weren't quite the right colour. Also because there was laminate down in the room there was no underlay so I had to buy that too. Still I have got the carpet shade I wanted so it won't be a waste of money. This is the only time I have wished that her bedroom was smaller!

    Took the laminate up. It's really easy once you have managed to get the first piece up, it's just really tricky getting that first corner up and getting leverage on it. I made about 10 trips to the car with it all plus all the rubbish from yesterday. Fortunately a nice man at the tip helped me get most of it out of the car. I love being a woman :D

    Nothing on OnePoll :( and I read on OnePoll cashback that they don't send you your money until it's been validated for 30 days :( Never mind - perhaps the maintenance money will make a surprise appearance this week........:rotfl:I am the eternal optimist ;)

    I requested my Onepoll money by paypal and it arrived in 2 days. That was in January so not long ago.

    Sounds like an exhausting but very productive day:)

    Yes OnePoll (surveys) does pay out really promptly, it's just their cashback site you have to wait for :( at least I know it's coming ventually....

    I've had a really lovely evening. We went to Mum and Dad's for dinner (again) tonight because my cousin was there - he has come back from Australia (he is a chef out there and doing really well for himself) and it is the first time I've seen him for nearly 18 years !!!! It was a really nice evening.

    Got my census through the post today - will take a look at that another day, far too tired tonight.

    Also received my £10 M&S voucher from Valued Opinions - I will put that in my purse with my £5 M&S voucher I got from Texaco then if I see anything I want when I'm out it won't feel so expensive.

    I'm also on nearly 1000 points on MySurvey. I think they send a £10 M&S voucher (or you can chose your type of voucher/amount) when you reach about 1300 points so that won't be long either -I get a couple of survey invites a day from them.

    £38.85 on OnePoll - I can smell the money :)

    Off to watch South Riding now - I only started watching the first one last night just as they were showing the last episode in RL so need to catch up. i do like a good period drama.

    Happy Pancake Day everyone! How do you have yours? DD wants Nutella on hers - I am going to stick with lemon juice and sugar.

    £39.25 on OnePoll. If i could get my dad to sign up I will be on £39.75 and would probably hit the £40 target today.

    Small spend this morning of £20 petrol just to get me off the red light. i will be putting in dribs and drabs over the next couple of weeks as and when I can afford it :(

    Just redeemed 575 points on MySurvey.com to have £5 sent to my PayPal account. I like this site - the surveys aren't too long and are quite frequent. I think I've only been doing them for about a month. It all helps :)
