    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

    Wow - that was a nice surprise then. I wait until I get to 575 points them get them to send £5 to my Paypal account as every little helps at the moment.

    I do get emails from them but I find that if I log in there's usually 2 or 3 waiting for me.

    Nothing at all going on with Onepoll at the moment - my browser isn't even finding the website!!!!

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


    It's not as amazing as I'd like but quote toned I suppose for my age (38 sssshhhhhhh...). It's very good for your core, lots of lifting and holding yourself in position helps as it pulls everything in. My arms are really toned. I would like smaller thighs and bum but we can't have everything I suppose. I've seen some photos but not the 'main' ones. I'm looking forward to those. I'd like to get a proper professional one done then have it blown up and put it in my bedroom ;)

    I didn't get a chance to go to Tesco but I was looking at the Olay stuff. I bet by the time I get myself organised to go there they will have pulled the promotion....

    Right, off to iron some duvet covers :eek:

    Onepoll is still a no go :(

    I'm up to £8.75 on Valued Opinions though.:j Just another couple of surveys and then i have made another £10. I still haven't spent the other M&S vouchers I got so that will be a nice addition and time for me to have a little spend up.

    Going to go for a run in a minute. It is a nice day here, not too cloudy.

    Got my payslip - payday Thursday. I've already worked out my money and what i need to shuffle around to various accounts.

    According to the CSA letter that i got at the weekend, a payment is due to go into my account tomorrow. We shall see.....

    No CSA money :mad:

    Just ordered myself some perfume from Perfume Parlour. I went for Flower Bomb, Romance and Narcisco Rodriguez. I need a treat. Have shuffled money around in advance of payday tomorrow and so far it all looks good even after taking into account next term's ASC fees which will be due this (salary) month.

    Just been for a run. It is a glorious day. I went out in a vest top for the first time this year. Obviously i had bottoms on aswell ;). If it wasn't for the slight wind it would be baking hot.

    DD wasn't too well last night, perked up before she went to bed then was rough again this morning. I dosed her up and said we'd take the day off then within half an hour she was singing and prancing around!!! We both agreed she should go into school but I won't be surprised if school ring up and she she's low again when the medicine wears off which could be any time now.....

    OnePoll is really annoying me now. The site is back and still very slow and I got halfway through a survey and then it crashed on me. I have £1.40 worth of surveys to do:mad:

    DD was OK at school today, in fact since we've been home she's been extremely hyper - goodness knows what they gave her at after school club today.....

    Cleaned bathroom, cooked dinner, cleaned DD's school shoes, got her football kit ready for tomorrow, sorted out my pole stuff now sitting here listening to Planet Rock. It's all good.....:)

    OnePoll is back up and running again :j at least it is here at work where I do most of my surveys :D

    Another lovely day. Going to go for my final run of the week.

    Payday but still no maintenance :(

    Hoping my perfume oils turn up today.....

    ...

    Have you ordered those perfume oils before? Just wondering if they are really as good as everyone says? I'm rather tempted to order a few. What size did you get?

    No this is the first time I've ordered them but have read quite a few positive posts about them. I got the 3ml size (£2.25). If they're no good I haven't wasted too much money.

    Perfume oils didn't turn up today (I thought that was a bit optoimistic). Hopefully tomorrow in time for the weekend.

    Blinking Onepoll isn't working at home :( or it works until just after halfway through then it throws me out :mad:

    Had a good pole class. We are now doing a thing where we kind of do a handstand up the pole but are parallel at the side of the pole with our right arm high and left hand down the bottom of the pole. Bit difficult to explain and even more difficult to do. I have no problems doing handstands against walls but this is really tricky and I am aching already - sign of a good class I suppose.

    I've had a lovely bath and just had scrambled eggs on toast.

    Need to start looking at home insurance in the next week or so. Mine is up for renewal next month.

    Perfume oils have just arrived. At first sniff they don't smell too good :( but I suppose I need to wear them for a bit to get the full effect. I put the 'Romance' one on and will give it a few hours and see what i think.

    Will report back later.....
