I got my crisps today - OH was gutted as they are prawn cocktail flavour - but my favourite! Even more of an excuse for him to hate all the parcels I get now.

LOL - mine were tomato sauce flavour. DD's won't eat them but I will. OH won't get a look in. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:That's my weakness, I can give or take chocolate, rarely eat sweets, but I love crisps.

Foxy - you carry on with the £50 ebay if you like hun. I've got plenty more to list too. That's a fantastic acheivement. Wow

Giggles - don't worry hun. You take things at your own speed. Even if you only earn 1 penny, it's a penny less you have to find at Christmas. Think of it like that and you won't go far wrong

Thanks . I think for february I am going to attempt to keep up with BP and make the £50 on ebay. £50 I will put into savings and anything over I will use to pay off some debts.

The roadkill challenge does interest me! I have got sooo many money boxes (mostly empty haha) so will dedicate one to roadkill.

Its funny how money can add up. one of my part time jobs is waitress/barmaid and I put all my tips into a money box instead of my purse and it really does mount up! I went to Centre Parcs this week and raiding the tipbox I had over £80 to take (last raided before christmas). Im saving for my trip to Longleat spends in the tip money box now.

I am off out for a rare night out tonight, I cant wait! So I shall see all you lovely ladies tomorrow, no doubt I little slow on the uptake suffering from a hangover hehe

WOW! Fantastic totals from everyone. Some of you have made more in one month than I expect to make in the whole year, well done :T

My totals:

Ebay - £25
TCB - £5.50
BP - £5
£2 jar - £6

I'm nearly at payout for Toluna so I should be able to count that for next month.

Elysia - thanks for the new challenge! I love Dooyoo but haven't been on for ages, so this should motivate me to get started again. I managed to get quite a few Amazon vouchers from them last year so it's definitely worth doing. I don't think I'll put quite as much effort into the reviews this time though, as I was writing 1000 ish words for most reviews and trying hard to get a crown that never materialised. It took ages so I think I'll try to speed up a bit and not write quite as much each time.

I' m sorry I have yet another BP question. I have just redeemed an amazon voucher - I thought I would try redeeming and it would tell me how many points I have so I would know how many left to get. anyway it seems to have gone through.
so will the new games I play count from now for a week or will they count from Thursday? if I have enough points played to redeem does that mean that any games played between now and last Saturday count?
