  • Hi all, sorry I have't been around for a while. I have still been trying to read some of the thread but have't been on the computer as much for the last couple of weeks.

    Welcome to all the newbies :wave: hope you have fun and make lots of money in the process too!

    A big thank you to Elysia for posting the shopping challenge previously. Received my money yesterday, quicker than I thought actually.

    Hope 1polly have sorted themselves today, tried to do a couple of polls yesterday and it kept hanging for ages between each question. However did notice there were a few on there so that is good anyway.

    Seem to have been stuck on 72000 on loony for what seems like forever, hopefully will be able to claim soon though.

    I hope everyone else is ok today, I have ds off with a sickness bug again today so wont get much done today. Still at least the sun is shining!

    Well I came down well and truly with the lurgy so ended up having to take yesterday off so its a good job I have made some money this month, why is it you never feel like you can get ahead :( on the mend now but still got a bad chest and feel yuk and sound like a man ha ha!!

    I am getting screened out of looney at the moment and need 20 points for ips, SN have all been 25 min surveys and I have not been well enough to be bothered with them, done a few on looney this after, I have 2 opinions at 30 and 40 and no one else has been on for about a week lol none have tracked either for ages, 1pl had 4 surveys this morning done one and got screened out and the rest went!!!

    Got a few things on ebay plus started a FB shop, after yesterday and how poorly I was yet still had stroppy parents even though I can count on one hand how many times I have been off work on one hand in 7 years, I have decided I am going to push my jewellery more and see if I can reduce my cm hours :(, going to speak to a friend of mine who helps businesses start up :)

    Accounts weekend for me, end of year to do get ready for so wont get much money making done!!

    Will catch up soon as I can :)

    Good morning everyone :)

    How's things going then? All this sunshine is lovely isn't it? :D

    I made a redeem on Mysurvy yesterday for £10 love2shop. I'm at £9.20 cleared on VO with 7 or £8 pending. This month is going to be not so bad after all, but I really need to get into it again. I've been really slacking. :(

    Right then, it's Friday.:beer: Yippee. Let's all make that final push, it'll be April next Friday.:eek: Come on girls, we can do it. :j:j:j

    Susie gl with the fair tomorrow. :D (in case I forget). ;)

    I've just been on quidco - I knew they were changing it, but now you can't see at a glance what's due. You have to scroll through the whole thing.

    I also thought that some money had been declined, as my balance has gone down, but apparently that's just what's confirmed now, and doesn't include what's tracking. Phew.

    I was just checking the car insurance tracked ok, and it has thankfully. Plus go compare (or whatever) at £1.50, plus my Radley tracked at full price even though I paid with the groupon voucher ;) I've probably got about £70 on there this month (only tracking) whereas last month it was only £1.20 or so. :eek: I'm a happy girl again. :rotfl:

    Right I'm off to do surveys - catch you later.

    Just a quick tip to save money when doing a carboot is theres 2 of you sharing, and you have 2 tables, instead of parking the standard boot up position, park the car lengthways, that way when you have the 2 tables up, kept within 1 car and you can get some room for an extra balnket on the ground at the side. xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    The car boot I go to won't let us do that mum2one :( they are so strict! It's a great idea I'd you can get away with it though! We just build the stall forwards instead of sidewards to try and get more stuff out without paying for another table haha
