  • Hi all

    Sorry for being an intermittent poster. Have continued on the DFW merry way recently with lots of small things happening. As for this weekend the list is something like this:
    • complete all surveys that qualify for. Currently done one for £1 on Valued Opinions and an extra 3,000 points on Toluna
    • Daily clicks done. Getting into the swing of that now.
    • Checked banking. Money from mystery shopping paid in
    • OH is busy baking Lemon Drizzle and Chocoloate Fudege cake. Also made Shepherds Pie for tonight
    • Washing outside to dry. Yesterday was a nightmare for it and tomorrow promises to be as well.
    • Still need to walk the dogs but they are snoozing after lunch at the moment.
    • Sorted te grass out in the garden.
    • Rec'd a cheque for £26 from a sale on ebay
    Have a great weekend all.
