    Hi guys
    I have been slack today, no surveys or anything just don't have the energy.

    He has been around this evening to collect some stuff, didn't know what to say, kind of strange. Luckily he has received some more money today and has sent me half of what he borrowed so that is a bit of relief.

    Had a member of staff hand in their notice today so now I am looking for 2 people at the same time, what a nightmare, could really have done without this :(

    Sorry just a quick post this eve, going to sleep now feel drained, will catch up properly tomorrow x

    I know it says 300 reviews but none of their incentives have ever reached the number of reviews before the end period. Although granted it is usually alot more, usually the end date is reached first. Also it will be posted on their facebook group as soon as there are 300 reviews so we will know that any mor are not paid. I am going to hopefully do mine on friday :D.

    Going to take the pics for the rest of my ebay and list them tomorrow eve. Looing forward to next thursday now for them to end :D. Got a few watchers which I do like to see.

    Back off to the docs tomorrow re: my skin. Its horrid today :(. Antibiotics end tomorrow so asking to be swapped to a different type as these have done nothing and I have been on them 6 months. Going to ask to be referred back to the dermatologist too as he when he signed me off last year he did say to go back if problems arise again, and also going to ask to be referred for allergy testing.... fingers crossed she doesnt fob me off!

    Kirsty - thanks for the heads up about Group on. I'll take a look at that survey. I was wary of using them. It'll be nice to hear someone else's point of view.

    Giggles - if you're having a go at the shopping reviews thingy - you'd best hurry. It's only 300 reviews, and not people, like I first thought. :(

    I had my panakes for lunch. DD2 and OH had Aunt Bessies last night, and DD1 and I didn't fancy them, so she made American style ones for lunch. Light and fluffy. Yum. I had lemon juice and sugar on one and Nutella on the other. :D She'd seen Saturday Kitchen on well, Saturday LOL. and they cooked some pancakes and filled them with banana and bacon - sounds gross to me, but she wanted to try it. :eek:

    Oh the hairy bikers them made the pancake mix, then blended in banana, looked lovely, then they served it with bacon and maple sauce..... put me off, but in Mcdonalds they have pancakes with syrup, which are lush, and also pancakes and sausage - haven't ventured to that one yet!!

    Banana and Bacon always remind me when I was expecting Miss Hoodie, the midwife had said I wasn't eating another fruit, - so the OH on one of his nice days - offered to do me breakfast in bed, - fancied a bacon roll, got you've got to eat fruit, ok, put the same plate and I'll eat it...... bless him;) - he was so proud of himself......

    He'd mashed the banana into both sides of the roll, sprinkled with sugar, then added bacon and brown sauce, he sat on the bed till I finished it, :p, glad I had morning sickness - didn't stay down long, I didn't have the heart to tell him I hated it! xx

    Digressing completely, if anyone get an invite from 2loony worth 2,400 points, - music based one, - normally being over 30 get kicked out, this survey liked me, - bit odd, but ok...... it was 223 extracts of classical music... rating each one on like/dislike and what time you think it should be on the radio........
    Good luck, it certainly takes the time!! xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Mum2one - that reminds me of when we were in the Algarve - DD only about 12 then, asked for a ham and pineapple pizza (the only one she eats) and it came with slices of banana on.

    I had that survey too Mum2one - I think It depends what station you listen to - I chose a local one which plays lots of dance music - so I got anything from Abba, to Rhianna - I was having a boogie along. :rotfl:

    Giggles - put your foot down, or ask to see another doctor - don't let them fob you off. ;)

    Good morning Susie - I hope you feel better soon. I know it's morning but are you tired? Sometimes if you've had a bad night's sleep, you wake up more tired than when you went to bed!

    I haven't had any points for the cream yet - have you received your voucher? I'm hoping they get applied soon too. I still haven't had my ipso link to fill out the survey from the dvd yet either.

    Good luck with ebaying your jewellery :)

    Thanks Elysia, no not had my voucher yet either!!

    It started last night, I went really funny and got that feeling where you feel sick when you are too drunk, the room was spinning and everything lol

    Feeling a bit better now, a few people at school have said they have felt this way too in the last few weeks, probably some sort of virus, great!!!

    Just spent over and hour getting screened out of everything lol going to try looney again in a minute
