    Woooo well done on hitting the magic £40 at last:beer: I'm doing ok...on £11-odd, which is good considering I had my £40 last month:D
    I must look at mysurvey.com...havent joined that. i have got a Pcone surveey to do which will be a nice £3 into Paypal - will do that later on.
    As for pancakes - can't be bothered to make separate batter for me (with my lactofree milk), so none for me:( It would be golden syrup as my fave....mmmmm. And I did make about 80 pancakes at school today so I'm not bothered if I dont see another one for a very long time:rotfl:

    I have gone off the PineCone surveys. They are too long for me and I haven't had an email from them for ages. The £3 is nice though but I've decided i like the short and sweet surveys best ;)

    Can't seem to get into OnePoll today :(

    Had 5 pancakes last night but with lime juice and sugar as M's had run out of lemon juice. Very nice still :)

    Ooooh £12.65 on Onepoll for me...they seem to be giving me quite a few surveys recently:T
    I agree about the short surveys...I do find the long ones so boring. Turned out the pinecone surveys they sent me yesterday were just quick non-paying out ones to update my account...huh;)

    Spoke to the CSA last night and they duly rang me back this morning with an update. Apparently they have all the information they need and just need to calculate the new payments. This seems to be taking quite a while though. If they have all the information they need why can't they just work it out (they must have some kind of formula they use) and get the details sent off to his employer and a schedule to me and him. If it's so simple I would just want to get it off my desk then it's case closed. I know they are busy and I am not the only case they are dealing with but when I'm at work i get the simple things done and off my desk and then I can concentrate on the real hard stuff. Everything is so long and drawn out and all the while we are going without so I can get bills paid and he is getting more and more arrears.

    Applied for my passport online today. I didn't realise you could do this. You do it online then they send you the filled out form which you then add your photos and whatever documents you need to and send it back to them. So much easier than filling out yourself :)

    80p on OnePoll so far. Not bad going for day one although alot of the surveys weren't working today, they either bombed me out, didn't add the money to my account or said I hadn't answered the question. I emailed them and told them. I think I missed out on about 50p because of all this.

    Going to epilate my legs in a minute because they really need doing then going to catch up the last episode of South Riding.

    They have been quite generous haven't they? I'm going to try and get to the £40 within 3 months. I like a challenge ;)

    Hate those 'getting to know you' surveys......

    WLM has just text me - he's had a tax rebate so is going to treat us to a takeaway curry tomorrow night (my Friday night treat to myself is a bung-in-the-oven curry) so this is a nice surprise and will also save me a bit of money off my food shop :D

    He is going to cook fajitas on Saturday so a saving there too :D:D

    £1.20 on OnePoll. I'm going to aim for 80p-£1 a day

    Not going for a run today. It's too windy and I have done 3 this week and pole class tonigh. Don't want to overdo things.

    Great pole class tonight. I managed a few things that I haven't been able to do before so am pleased with that. I'm a little battered but have just had a lovely hot bath. Am starving too as I haven't had any dinner yet - going to have scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast mmmm.....

    I can hear next door's newborn baby crying, that hungry persistant cry. I remember those days.....

    Not sure what to watch on Tv tonight now that both Marchlands and Mad Dogs have finished :(
