    It's going around Esmer - there's too many virus's about. I hope you feel better soon.

    I've just had an email off Shopping.com - they've already had 150 reviews, so they need to be done today if you're going for it!

    Hey all,

    Haven't been around for a while, have been laid up with a horrid bug. You know it's bad when you can't be bothered putting the lappy on!

    Cakes look fab Savvy. Like Esmer, I too am giving up all treats for lent. fingers crossed :p

    In the meantime I got a tesco voucher from VO.

    I've been on TL this am catching up on opinions and polls. If I haven't got to you yet, I will do soon. If anyone hasn't yet done my topic on procrastination could you take the time to do it (i'm on 18 replies!). Same username as on here, and I'll return the favour!

    Sorry to hear that others have been poorly. Hope you get better soon, there is nothing worse.

    For everyone who had to watch youtube and the DVD for the second half of the Survey...

    'You have recently agreed to take part in an online survey that implied watching a TV program on your TV set. You have, therefore, been sent a set of DVDs and, also, online links of the show that are available on YouTube.

    Due to several technical issues, the survey may no longer be run. Should you have any personal feedback on the media you have already viewed, please let us know and we will forward it further. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

    We are, however, very grateful for your interest and support on this particular project and, as a token of our appreciation, your account will be credited with 175 points, as already promised.'

    Afternoon, well I have done five reviews on shopping, dont know if I was in time or not but couldnt get to do them until this afternoon. Also got another one done on DY this morning and have one saved ready for tomorrow. Still on track to redeem in a few days if no hiccups occur. I need to do four more so one in the bag means need to find another three.

    Havent got any surveys done today, still getting screened out a lot these days. Seem to have got stuck.

    Elysia I got that email too but I think it is for something else? Because it says 150 guides, but for this promotion you do a review not a guide. Do I read it as it was saying thank you to everyone that has written a guide and to show off how many they have, and then to inform you of the new promotion to get £10 for writing 5 reviews.

    Rufusdog, I think you are in time because they have said they will announce on the blog and on the facebook fanpage as soon as the 300 reviews have been written and there is no announcement yet. :D.

    Hopefully going to do mine tonight if not then tomorrow. Fingers crossed! Need to get my CV up to scratch so I can apply for jobs so thats my priority tonight (as well as listing 10 ebay haha). I have decided to look for payroll/account administration roles. Rang one this morning and she was so uninterested (the woman I needed wasnt available) and was Like 'Well have you any experience?!' which I havent haha But got an email address to send my CV over so going to say how although I have no experience my indepth knowledge of mathematics and my extensive study of it means I am adaptable to many situations and I believe that I could learn all aspects of the role quickly and perform them to a high standard. Hopefully that will at least mean they dont write me off!

    Doctors went well this morning and I have been referred for allergy testing, just got to go in on tuesday to pick up my referral letter. So Im very happy about this :D. And been changed to a different antibiotic so fingers crossed for that... although I cant drink alcohol with these ones boooooooooooo!

    Tried out MusicMagpie for the first time last night. Does anyone have any experience with these?

    Was sorting some boxes left over for the last car boot and it had some dvds and cd in that hadnt sold so thought I would see what they were worth on that. It got to just above £10 which is easier and quickly than trying to flog them at a car boot! So going to have a route around and see what others I can find to add to it before I commit to sending them off. I know most dvds you can get more money for on ebay or such, but these are bottom of the barrel type ones! And we were only asking pennies for them at the car boot last time and they didnt sell so I would rather get rid in all one go if I can :D

    Giggles - I'm trying to do ten things at once here and only quickly scanned my email - It does day guides, but I have never written a guide - also when I checked the site, my reviews are already published, so I took it as a thankyou and that I would be paid. *shrugs shoulders* As long as we all get paid - I don't mind what it says.

    Congrats - re the allergy testing - that should help you out. I had intollerance testing and it cut my headaches dramatically - until I started carrying on eating the things I was intollerant to. :eek:

    Twinkle - thanks for the message - I didn't get the email yet, but that's good news, as I still haven't watched the DVD. Haha.

    Rufus - well done on all the reviews - I'm getting there slowly. I'm up to £22 now, so I have a fair bit to go. ;)

    Stressed - I haven't the survey number either, mine tracked as a prize draw too, I may have to message them.

    Pink - I think I've done that one, as you were one of the people I've got to - I'll have a look though. I just received 3,000 points as one of mine got to 60. :j
