    OnePoll have just sent me £40!! Strange as my balance is only £18.90??? Just checked my PayPal account and it is there.

    These are the kind of errors I like.....

    I have emailed OnePoll about the £40. I won't spend it, I'm sure it will be reversed at some point.

    Went for my first run in a week. The shower has been fixed here so there is no excuse. I need to get in at least 2 a week now, especially with the amount of Easter eggs I am putting away each night :o

    Finally sent my passport application off yesterday (with its hideous photos - I look like I'm about to burst into tears - couldn't be bothered to fork out another fiver to have more taken). I feel like a weight has fallen from my shoulders - I hate official forms etc and I consider myself a straightforward case! Just hope it all comes back OK in the next couple of weeks.

    I am doimg spelling and grammar tests with DD every night now. She will be doing SATS this term (although she isn't aware of it) and I have notived that some of her grammar and spelling is bad so I will hopefully drum it into her. I can't abide poor spelling.

    £19.75 on OnePoll.:)

    Requested another £10 M&S voucher from Valued Opinions.:)

    £70 cashback from Quidco still pending but that will be handy when it arrives, whenever that is.

    I have majorly fallen off the MSE wagon. Had a very spendy although really lovely weekend. Need to tighten my belt for the next few weeks though.

    I am dyeing my hair. It's got about 5 minutes to go and I haven't tried this make or colour before. It's the Clairol Nice n Easy foam in medium red brown. It was on special offer in M's a couple of weeks ago - down to £5 from £7 I think. Hope it's OK. :o It's not as easy to use as the John Frieda one and my arms have stained already in just 10 minutes!

    Don't worry about it, you have to treat yourself sometimes especially after waiting ages for the CSA money and you are really :money:most of the time.

    Hope the hair turns out ok :)

    Did you hear from Onepoll about the extra money?!
    I have £106 coming from Quidco soon:beer: My iPhone cashback paid out pretty fast - got the phone in Feb.

    Hope the hair's ok - my dd used the clairol mousse and I thought it quite easy to use...though I am bad at using dye - I stain everything around. I got bits on bathroom wall, windowsill, rug, towels:eek:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    My hair has turned out OK. It feels in really lovely condition and it has covered the grey which was the main thing :o

    I haven't heard back from OnePoll and the money is still sitting in my PayPal account. At least I have told them anyway.

    Got £22.35 with them now. I reckon I'll get to £40 by middle of June.

    Ooooh you're cathcing me up - I'm on £22.60:D
    It's not as good as it used to be, though I've noticed it's quicker again. I just seem to get screened out of a lot of surveys and I didn't used to quite so much...annoying:(

    Glad the hair's fine...must get some highlights in mine again, brighten me up a bit for summer:rotfl:

    How strange...I was only thinking how much better it is! Loads more surveys and for more money, loads of 20p and the odd 30p and 40p ones too. I can usually do £1 worth a day. It does seem to have its slow periods though.
