Which daily do you play on Jackpot? I was playing Island but have swapped to the wheel as it seems to pay out more often
Stressed xx
Thanks Stressed. I do play the Island one but it has been rubbish recently. I tried the wheel one week and didn't win anything so went straight back to the island. Will try the wheel next week.
I get my Amazon vouchers from Bingoport, To Luna, Lightspeed and Ipsos and the odd one from other sources. Mind you, I have just ordered my niece's birthday presents so I only have just under £50 left now. Her birthday isn't until May so I am getting ready early :cool:.

Think you have to be lucky with both, but I have had a couple of wins on the wheel in a week, they reset if you win - I had 5 spins x2 and won £4

You're doing really well with these, I find RL gets in the way of surveys and bits, sometimes I can't justify the hours they take for the few pounds I make when the kids need me to spend time with them

I know what you mean, they are very time consuming. I am on my computer most of the day though so just do them in between working. I had one the other day that said it would take an hour to complete!! Quite glad when I didn't qualify for it.

What a day!!
Went to visit OH's parents last night and today. We went out shopping and when we went to go home, we went to the car and OH opened the door for me, I got in and he promptly shut it (or shall I say slammed it!!) but didn't realise that my hand was there (or so he says). So my hand got trapped big time. I screamed, he even had trouble getting the door back open as my hand was in there!!
One 4 hour wait at A&E later and it wasn't broken but they said some of the ligaments are damaged or something. It's very swollen anyway and looks very red. Oh, and it hurts like hell!!! OH feels very guilty and is running around after me (as he should!!).
Anyway, going to mooch around MSE for a bit and then get to bed.

Ouch Emily, I bet that did hurt, glad nothings broken
Make suure Oh take care of you, and I hope it doesn't hinder your jobs in anyway. Take care :A

Thanks Pap and Lou. My hand feels better today. I haven't done any work all day which I think has helped.
OH cleaned my car inside and out this morning and put £10 worth of petrol in - think he still feels guilty. He is away tonight as he has a meeting really early in London tomorrow.
Just done a shop on Asda website. Cost £30 but that included a lot of frozen stuff which should last a few weeks. I need that type of stuff in all the time to deter me from ordering a takeaway. I was really tempted to get a chinese tonight but have instead stuck some chicken and wedges in the oven.
I think I can get away without spending any money through the whole of the week. I will have enough food when the shopping comes on Tuesday and don't need anything until then. Fingers crossed the petrol lasts but £10 didn't get much to be honest.
I topped my phone up last night with £15 which was the first time in about 3 months. That £15 will last me another few months and I got a free beauty treatment voucher on the O2 surprises thing which I can use in a salon near me for an eyebrow wax and shape. Will save me plucking for a few weeks anyway. Plus I have 500 free texts for this month.
I also finished off my niece's birthday presents today as I got the last of my Amazon vouchers from To Luna. I only have just over £20 in there now but at least her birthday is sorted already. She is the one I tend to spend the most on.
Off to eat my takeaway substitute now

That was quite nice actually, probably tasted better than a takeaway!!
Who on earth is voting for Kerry Katona on Dancing on Ice? She is rubbish and is quite possibly the most annoying person on the planet!! Was really hoping she was a gonna tonight :mad:.
