    Then you should keep them, go through them and sell any thay you no longer want. Maybe display them, they would look really good.

    If you want fancy gadgets you have to get to like Toluna for the Amazon vouchers. Do the sponsored polls and 1 survey a day.

    £42.15 on shopping on Friday night. Over my £40 budget but as I was under the last 2 weeks this is OK :D

    Made my first loaf of bread in the BM on Saturday. Not bad for a first attempt. i think I will lurk on some of the threads here and see what advice I can get. It's lovely having the house smelling of bread baking and it's so easy :)

    Neither of my horses came in :(

    £11.45 on OnePoll now.

    Just requested another £5 from mysurvey.co.uk.

    Got my £31.55 from OnePollCashback.

    After all my expenses/fees from my eBay sales I was able to transfer £28 to my account.

    Just need to hang in there until Wednesday next week when hopefully I'll get my maintenance........

    I have got a bun in the oven (well actually it's a loaf in the breadmaker ;)). Which means in about 45 minutes the house is going to smell lovely and I'm going to have to eat some of it :o

    £12.10 on OnePoll

    Went for my second run of the week. Getting back into it, I didn't go at all last week.

    Have just whizzed the hoover round down here, I will mop the kitchen and bathroom floors before I go to bed.

    I have really blocked up ears. I put some drops in last night and they felt miles better. This morning they felt bunged up again and the drops have done nothing. I've felt like I've been underwater all day :( I'll put some more in when I'm on the sofa, less chance of it running out.....

    Just been for my 3rd and final run of the week. Am finding it really hard work :( Still it's done now....

    £12.20 on OnePoll.

    Paid next term's after school club fees and even though they have increased the daily amount slightly it still came to less than I thought because there are 2 bank holiday mondays that I had included when I was working out the cost so I am £6 odd better off than I thought I would be :)

    A lad in the office has just announced that he's just spent £233 on a pair of shorts, a shirt and a belt!! That's more than I've spent on clothes in the last 6 months!!

    Oh to be young with no outgoings again......

    OnePoll has been extremely generous today with its surveys - I reckon I've done about £1.60 worth - but it is so slow.....

    A mother's work is never done...

    Tonight at one point the washing machine was on (towels), the oven was on cooking our tea, the breadmaker was on doing a loaf for my mum and dad and I was ironing too :). Cleaned the bathroom as well this evening. I feel very efficient. I actually think I've done more work here since we got in at 6 than I did at work today :o

    £13.85 on OnePoll now :)

    Just received £5 into my PayPal account from mysurvey.com

    Off to watch Superscrimpers - see if they can teach me anything :D
