    Thanks ladies. Love you all xx just needed someone to talk to and know you are all so easy to talk to. Even though I don't know you and you haven't 'known' me for long it's just so much easier to talk to you.

    Now thts this Tesco thing? I went to Mr ts tonight! And apologies for the spelling but I'm on my phone and typing far too quickly for it!!

    Sorry I've not been around much recently. I knew it was a bad omen when I saw this months challenge - my washing machine went kaput last Tuesday. I ordered a new one on Saturday so I'm hoping it'll be here on Monday. Now for the good news.
    • Complained to Tesco about not accepting a Co-op conditional spend voucher. Received a £10 gift card as an apology plus was able to use the voucher i.e £5 off £30 when I next went shopping. I'm adding the £15 to my xmas fund as I wouldn't normally take the time to complain.
    • Claimed 2 x £5 vouchers from RewardTV (Homebase & Iceland). Keeping my fingers crossed that these turn out to be bonus bonds. Have to wait 10 to 12 weeks to find out.:)

    hope your ok TwinkleKat - sounds like OH is being a tad selfish.......... just my opinion. hope your ok with all the changes, and rant away........... :)

    Legend and Aspella - hope you get your washing machines soon........ its a nightmare not to have one.

    Tesco - There is a tesco pricecheck, and a lot of people are checking what IS cheaper in Asda and doing there shopping in Tesco based on those purchases and getting a pricecheck done at tesco and getting double the difference back. Im doing the price check but cant be bothered with finding what is cheaper, if I get a DTD back then brill.

    Which I have done on nearly every shop recently and im not even trying to get it cheaper........ I have about 4.00 so far, not much compared to a lot. :) goodluck if you have the time to do it.

    Tonight ladies I was making Lemon cupcakes...........

    Made these for my friends birthday.

    Hi, is anyone having problems with the quick sponsored polls on toluna? I usually go through them every day and there are loads which add up to at least a thousand points. The last couple of days there are only the ones on the front page and when I click on more it says there aren't any. Also the 15point quick polls say I can't do them as I need to update my profile but even after I did, it still said the same. Is anyone else having the same problem?

    Thanks Elysia, had a quick look through Rufus's blog, the photobook looks really good and it has given me another idea, I'm sure you could use digi scrapping to make some brilliant mugs with vistaprint. Just need the time to work out how to do it now...

    Well done everyone on your looney points. had some added and am now half way to next redeem but I still have loads open.

    Sorry to hear you are having a carp time of things twinkle hun, big hugs, and we are always around to listen if you need to chat :)

    Glad to hear your washing machine is on its way Legendmum, about time too I should think, glad it's finally sorted for you.

    Hey everyone :D

    Twinklekat : we are always here rant away. What kind of touring is it? You really dont seem happy with the changes, is this something that could possible happen or is it out of the blue?


    My ebaying is going well. I have 34 items on, 10 or which currently have bids worth £29.12 plus have approx £55 cleared after fees and postage in my savings account already :D. My aim is £200 so I reckon I will be well on my way to that target after tomorrow :D. A handful are ending sunday and there are a few BINs left. Also I messaged the person whos address on ebay was Germany, but UK on paypal and they responded quickly saying they had just forgot to change the ebay address. And when I clicked on paypal it said seller protection in eligible at the minute because the payment hasnt cleared yet (e-cheque) so I think it will be eligible when it clears so have decided to sell to her.

    I have also booked my pitch for this weekend for an indoor carboot. Its £17 for a 6ft pitch which is really expensive. Its £22 for a 12ft pitch and my cousin was supposed to be doing it with me (she messaged me begging to do one soon) but she dropped out last night! But as its my only free weekend for quite a while and I NEED the money I am just going to bite the bullet and pay the £17. It was busy when I went the weekend just gone and its on 6am-2pm so Im hoping I should get my money worth and make lots of pennies :D.

    Found some more cds in the car boot stash too so going to see if they are worth anything on musicmagpie. They are quite old ones so I doubt it but worth a try hey!
