    Ladies, loads of surveys today on 1pol so get yourselves over there sharpish :)

    Elysia, there was one question that made me think of you... 'Do you hate buying things at full price?' If only they knew about us and how we must be skewing their results! Lol

    Giggles, I'm assuming we're about the same age... Have a little look at the Princes Trust as you can get grants from them for start-ups, and here in Plymouth we have a couple of organisations that assist too, both financially and strategically. I think there is so much pressure on people once they've been to Uni to go and do 'great and good things' that you almost feel obliged to, and I do feel that if I didn't have this job I'd be letting my Dad down by not being successful enough for him.

    I'm almost hoping that work decides not to renew my contract so I have the push to do my business and get on with my life a bit more!

    Well done on your redeem Chel!! And hope your little one is feeling better soon Legend

    Hi guys. Not read the latest posts as I just found out something important.

    If you have registered with Survy Network, and haven't used it for a few weeks or more, please log in regularly. I have just found out that your account gets de-activated after a month of non use, and your earnings with it. If you don't get on with the site, please try and keep it up, if only so that you are able to cashout.

    Hi everyone, well done on your redeems and getting so organised!

    Copngratulations restricted!! What a beautiful little baby xx

    Sparklychel - I first decided I wanted to go for a degree 4 years ago, firstly the cost scared me off and then I felt a degree was beyond me, every new year it was on my list of things to work towards and this year I decided to follow through with the things I want to do. You could always do an open degree where you pick and choose from courses across many subjects if your not sure, I choose business studies, mainly as I want to run my own business so knowing the ins and outs is going to be crucial.

    I hope you didn't lose all your points Elysia! Thanks for letting us know, I did log in yesterday but if I was to lose interest I may have left it a while before coming back to it.

    Well done legend, thats a great start on your list! Just checked mine, done all occasions and christmas except hubby for bday and christmas (half done), me fot birthday and Christmas (I want a die cut machine and sewing machine lol), My grandad who will end up with M&S hamper (I have vouchers to cover this already) and hubby's family which he will sort out a week before Christmas no doubt lol

    Went to Asda and stocked up on all the ingredients I need to make those yummy cupcakes and pancakes, then went to dentist and amazingly was told my teeth are great, I don't need any fillings (despite my old dentist saying I needed some a year ago??) Anyway he prescribed me some high fluoro colgate toothpaste, saved us a few pennies for a while as hubby was prescribed toothpaste too last week :rotfl:

    Didn't have a chance to bake when I got in, hubby not coping well with a stroppy toddler who was in tears when I got in (dd not hubby:rotfl:) so will be having a big baking session tomo so pics WILL follow, I promise!
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff
