    Tracey, Esmer, and everyone who's posted their totals there's some fab results there ladies. You ought to be really proud of yourselves - I know I am (of you I mean), you've all worked so hard and it's been a tough month.

    Like Savvy said, it's March today. I'm just checking in to see how things are. I have to pop out in a mo (just waiting for my OH to drop the car off) and I'll be back at lunchtime with the new challenge. :D

    Are you all feeling motivated? Come on, it's a new month, a new challenge - We CAN do it. :j:j

    Clairylulu sorry to hear about your news xx

    Looking forward to the challenge later Elysia xx

    I had some more loonie points added this morning, put me right up to over 30000 again so pleased about that. Been having another look at the home cinema systems and have seen one I would like to get. It is £130 and I have £76 vouchers already (well £21 on the way) so really want to get this doou sorted this month and another loonie one if poss, that will make £110 so will only need to find another £20. I am making it my target to get this sorted by end of April so I have a few months to save up to get something for daughter for her birthday. She wants money to put towards some skateboard stuff (thats if she is with same boyfriend by then bless, they have been together 5 months now and he is skateboard mad, she wants to do it as well) so might try to get a £50 cash sum from doou towards that but will be really hard work. Hopefully some of my TCB money might be payable by then and I can use some of that too.

    I got spolit today, had a free sample of the new hair dye - the one on tv where you don't need a mirror to apply (worth £7), and theres 2 more vouchers in the box, (there valid till mid April) - think the idea the compan want a big night in promo so in theory grab a friend....

    very pleased with that, going to make sure do a skin test 1st and give it longer than the est time, (haven't looked properly yet), got champange blonde, but mid brown so should give it a boost. xx

    Me too mum2one! I was quite surprised as the delivery bloke handed me this little box and I was expecting a huge one from Lloyds! Then it had hair dye in! And those voucher well what a bonus! I got the light blonde one but last time I used a sample which was John Friedas Blonde it turned my hair ginger!!! Well not all of ot bit I have foils done with bleach so the dark blonde bits went ginger! Although I am not a fusspot with my hair so will give anything a go!

    Ladies I'm alive.... Just. My laptop is poorly though :( Got a virus from ebay at the weekend that had killed it so I'm waiting for the IT guys at work to fix it. Until then there will be minimal anything from me :( I hope they manage to save my files else I won't know what is going on with being thrifty gifty or my business so my total may have to wait another day or two. I do know I found £1.72 road kill, thanks to the OH not emptying pockets.

    Happy St David's Day!!

    Morning everyone :wave:

    Sorry to hear such sad news Clairylulu my thoughts are with you and your sister and family ((hugs))

    Well done on fab totals everyone, I too got the hairdye last week, lovely surprise but it's going to my sister for her birthday. Be careful if you have highlights as the foam colour is a permanent toner, and can only be lifted with bleach, I used the john frieda one on my highlighted hair, it actualy turned my lovely creamy blonde hair to awful brassy tones, hairdresser went nuts at me saying never to use this sort of product on highlighted hair and it cost me over £100 to fix it, never again! Having said that for browns and darker colours it is amazing!

    Had a lovely start to the day telling me my funding for my open uni course has been accepted, have fully registered now and will know in the next 10 days if I have been accepted on the course, I am so happy, hubby just grunted at me when I told him but I have to share my good news with someone, im bursting at the seems with joy and excitement, first step to a brighter future with big plans :)

    Thanks for the heads up on looney, checked mine this morning and I am up to 75,000, still have quite a few open so looks hopeful for a redeem soon :) I wonder if they add the points only on a Monday now?

    Hope everyone is having a lovely start to March x

    I too have a poorly laptop (the other one) with some horrid virus on. I thought I'd got rid but it's behaving strangely with websites so I think it's still there. I don't use ebay though so I'm not sure what it was.

    Nightmare :mad:

    Lurker here for the monthly totals!

    Roadkill: £7.84 (My OH never ever empties his pockets!)
    Mysurvery: £5.00 Amazon
    Toluna: £30.00 Amazon recieved (still got £15.00 L2S 'on the way' and redeemed another £15.00 Amazon)
    Dooyoo: nothing :[ I didn't really get on with that site...
    Cashback: a big, fat £0.00!!

    Had a nightmare with Sky when we signed up so have had to kiss goodbye to the £75.00 cashback and £25.00 M&S Vouchers :[ but they were actually proper rubbish with us! Also got some stuff from a website and got £8.00 ish cashback but then the site went into administration! GRR!

    But we have the internet at home now so I can get my bum in gear proper!
