Someone mentioned a survey site for kids - just wondered which it was as my little girl has seen Mummy and wants to have a go herself!

apologies if someone has answered, just work through the posts and answer as and when.

If your on one-poll, they have young poll, there payout level is £20. You go through your account but they have their own log in, (but u can check it anytime) xx

Can't stop - battery about to die.

The emails for referals to Fpigeon - finally came through, after the third time of trying. Grrrrrr.

Anyway I bought 1 card at £1.25 (halfprice) and 3 x £2.09 (30% off for three referalls) - Total £7.52.

This got me £9 bonus - which I spent on 7 more cards. I'm done right up until Christmas for special cards now, just the odd one here and there that I couldn't find anything suitable on the site. That worked out fab.

Update: B&Q who installed new Fuseboard when fitted the kitchen are due out first thing in the morning. Fingers crossed it can be mended under guarantee. XXXXX

Evening all

Just a flying 'hi' before I try to get some sleep. Ive got a really bad cold, sore throat and headache and feel funny all over, it came on yesterday but had to go to work as so much to do have felt worse since I came home

Haven't done any surveys or money making today, just haven't felt up to it, feeling over emoitional as well, OH just gave me a right panic. He left at 8 to go stay at his mums as he can't afford to catch this illness, said he would text when he got there as I can't speak, gone 10pm and still haven't heard anything and he not answering mobile. Called his mum - no hasn't arrived so I go into panic mode, call my bro see if he spoken to him - no. Get his rents to call his bro - no nothing.
Got dressed ready to go look for him fearing the worst, my bro on way over to help me, finally calls and he is down the pub :mad::mad:
I have been bawling my eyes out here - stupid man, how inconsiderate?? Sorry just had to get that off my chest!
Thank goodness you all made me laugh with your tales from bingo lol

Sleep well everyone x

Wow, I have sat here ordering some super cute thank you cards for daughters Birthday (yes it took three hours, you would think you could re-order a previous design wouldn't you or at least allow the 50% off code to work on more than one card at a time lol) and look at all the excitement I missed!

Wow, they are very strict on bp, tend not to get involved in he chat too much as the cms usually dampen the mood.

Hope your leccy comes back on elysia, how pants, I think I would go spare if we had blackouts. We had a fair few a few years back when there was a supply problem and it's only then that you realise you have no candles, or torch or any of the essentials! Thank goodness for dongles and netbooks!

Mum2one - Well done on your total for the dolphins hun, what a fab thing to do not far off your total now and you are super organised with the wrapping. For cards funky pigeon have a great offer on at the moment, cards work out around 30/40p if you use the referal credit. My brain is tired so I can't find the best way to explain it but if you read this thread it's explained here, offer expires midnight tomorrow https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2993314

That's right Poohs - Mum3one answered you. The survey site for kids is Young poll. WHen they sign up there is £5 already in their account. Not many surveys but they are so easy it's untrue. It also gives them a bit of spending money - bonus.

Well - where do I start??????????????????????????????????????

I just had to read back and see what mischeif you all got up to, and it seems I can't leave you lot for one minute.

Well done Sam - good on ya girl.. WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO. LOL

Twinkle - how did it go today? I have fingers, arms and legs crossed that they find what is wrong and can treat it easily for you hun. Sending big big hugs.

So sorry - definately got to go now..

Take care all. xxxxx

Kec just noticed your post as mine posted, and yep I'm still here. LOL

OMG - what a nightmare to go through. It's terrible when they do that, and you're sat there worrying. I hope you get better soon hun. Feeling rough myself today (we've all got it) and to top it all off, the electric.

Savvy - You don't have to redo the same design over and over again - there is a little box at the bottom of the page that says quantity and it is automatically filled at one - you need to change it

Night all

Night hun, hope the fuseboard is covered under guarantee, keeping everything crossed for you being back up and running tomorrow hun.

I did update the quantity, but the 50% code wouldn't work when purchasing more than one of the same card for some reason, really annoying as I wanted to order 7. I could add the card design to my favourites but it wouldn't save the photo to the design so had to fiddle around trying to make them match :rotfl: Anyway all done and I vow to stay away from that site for a while.

Right I best be off to bed, early start tomorrow what with boots 90%, claires accessories £3.00 lucky dip goodie bags and marks and sparks final reductions. Will be glad when the sales are finally dried up and back to fully concentrating on the money making.

Night ladies (and gent) sweet dreams x

Copy of my spreadsheet to declare for the end of January. The ammount on it looks impressive to me but I have to point out there are alot of one off's - OH got a tax rebate, I did a lot of overtime so put away 10% of my wages. I would like to be able to save 10% of all our income to deal with emergencies but at the moment we cnt always manage to - but will try to do it when I can. The first month or so of the year is always better as I emptied my sealed tin and finders pig (road kill) ALso my christmas money is included in this figure. The good new is I have achieve my personal taret for both Jan and Feb, I also have some survey sites close to pay out - one poll and you gov so will be able to add those in the next few months. Hope you don't mind me declaring here - seem to ahve lost touch with the £!0/day monthly thread as I like to count mine in months and anything extra goes into December so I can make sure I reach my years target, where they count in the month earnt and any extra goes into that month.

Sorry for long post
