    So glad the CSA money is on its way, should make things a bit easier. Is DD excited about her bedroom?

    Thanks - she loves her bedroom. Just need to get the furniture I'm buying from a friend and take a trip to Ikea for the wardrobe. I can't wait to have all my wardrobe space back to myself! She has far too many clothes!!

    I have a new hobby for you to try :D Double the difference at T*sco. Again it's not an Irish thing as far as I know but read this, It has its own threads on Grabbit and seems brilliant http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=42049888&postcount=1229

    Hello, sorry I havent caught up. For some reason my subscription box doesnt flag yours up and I have far too many in there and end up reading the same three over and over before realising there are others to catch up on. Anyway, sounds like good news with the CSA at last.

    Just completed 3rd (and final) run of the week. It is very cold but I'm glad I've done it.

    Pole class tonight :D

    I've just been reading up on this. Very interesting. I don't shop in Tesco usually because ours is in the town centre and not really convenient but there is one near work that I could drive to. Might be worth doing for large purchases like washing liquid, wine and store cupboard bits.

    Thanks!

    Oooh I'm really getting into the Tesco thing. I wouldn't mind popping over tonight but I just don't have time. Not tomorrow either. Not enough hours in the weekend to squeeze everything in!!

    Got a pole thing tomorrow. We are going to have a professional photographer come and take photos of us, then they are going to be blown up and put up around the area that we use at the gym.

    Had a good class last night. I've found out how I manage to bruise my hip. No extra bruises just managed to add to the ones I already have :o

    DD's bedroom furniture coming tomorrow hopefully. WLM going to cook tomorrow night too!

    Only 20p off Onepoll today :(

    Got another £5 off Mysurvey though :T

    Nice weekend everyone :)

    Great photo shoot on saturday except the real photographer didn't turn up. The daughter of one of the pole girls is into photography so she came along and took loads of pics.

    DD's bedroom furniture arrive saturday evening and looks lovely. Just need to get a wardrobe now. Hopefully next weekend. It is lovely being able to walk round my bed again now all her stuff has gone back in her room.

    WLM cooked dinner and we stayed in and watched some Green Wing and also that new spoof comedy Twenty Twelve.

    I've had a headache since saturday evening. It comes and goes. I haven't been for a run today because of it.

    The new One Poll site is s....o....o.... s.......l........o........w. It's doing my head in. Also it gets to 100% of the survey and then still gives you another 5 questions???? Rubbish! Why did they change it? There was nothing wrong with it before. And another thing - when I logged in it said 'Congratulation you have reached your £40'. I'd already requested my money 2 weeks ago (I thought they were taking their time sending it) so i have requested it again. Only thing is now it's not going to feel so good when I get ut because I get paid on thursday.....

    That's it I think....back to the grindstone.....

    Ha! Just tried to log on to Onepoll before I leave for the night and it is offline 'undergoing essential upgrades'......

    I know, I just tried that too - stoooopid site today:mad: I tried logging in after work but it was on a go-slow, then wouldnt open the 1 survey I had available...so I gave up.
    Hopefully now they're sorting it out - wish they'd not change it, it was fine the way it was;)

    Hey, I went to mysurvey on your recommendation - didn't know it was a Lightspeed one - found I had 800-odd points already so I got myself a £5 Amazon voucher...fab! How do you do surveys from them tho - do you have to log in? I dont think I've ever had an emailed survey from them? I had given up on Lightspeed - surveys were too long, got bored of them:D
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Oh WOW! I bet you have an amazing figure. Have you seen any of the photos yet? They probably look fabulous.

    Did you get any DTD vouchers from Tesco? The girls over on the toiletries thread are really fleecing Tesco, they've bought a LOT of Baileys and OLAY :p

    @pixiechick99 I thought mysurvey was the new name for lightspeed?

    Onepoll :( Hoping they fix it.
