Emma - i am pretty sure you found me
and i hope i didn't offend by saying that. Just don't want anyone to miss out on money making.
I'm showing myself up as a true slob this morning. I stayed in bed while DH got up with the kids, and he is tidying the very cluttered kitchen which has been annoying me. He has so much more get up and go than me. I'm sat eating toast and drinking tea, but i guess i best do some housework before money earning today.

Morning all
Had £40 off my son again yesterday for helping him out with his Ebay, means along with the £20 SN and £10 shopping I had £70 paypal this week alond and £20 DY came too. Been a good month this one xx0 -
So sorry I have rubbish at posting for a bit. I don't know where the days go at the moment. I seem to get up run around like a loony, look at the clock and it's time for bed. Where did March go??!!
Welcome to all newbies your gonna love it here everyone is so friendly and supportive.
I've been rubbish on this months challenge. Nothing broken to list, couldn't afford to put the shopping savings by, carboots don't start round here until Easter Sunday and next to nothing went into the change pot. *Hangs head in shame*
I have managed to get to £20 redeem on IPSO though which is more in the pot for Amazon. I had a shop there this week as before this £20 I was up to nearly £70. I treated myself to a new standing mixer as the hand held one I have has 8 speeds and all are the same and very fast!!! I gave in to peer pressure and got the hummingbird receipe book. Went to make cupcakes and it's a nightmare with bits flying everywhere. I did manage to make the Brooklyn blackout cake for toddlers club yesterday and it was sooooo good. People said it was better than a shop bought cake and I was asked for the receipe, only thing if anyone else is going to make it I am left with a huge amount of choc custard so you could half the amount.
I also got 3 more birthday presents all with free delivery so a bit more saved there.
Hope all are well and enjoying the sunshine we have been having. Have a great weekend.
Take care

Morning all
Feel exhausted so not done much this morning, was woken up in the night by some randoms playing around with cars down my road, they don't live down here and never seen them before I think they were drunk and left 2 of their cars here, they were making so much noise and being idiots I was then on edge all night barely sleeping.
They came back for their cars this morning and I hope they don't ever return, its normally so queit down here, the road leads to nowhere so you only come down here if you live here.
Done one survey on 1poll for 10p :rotfl:
working my way through sponsored polls on T, then will go through my emails for surveys.
I have 4 items with bids on ebay now.
I am that tired I didn't get up and go to the next sale :eek: not like me at all lol. I did get 3 parcels from my vip order this morning though, got a couple of lovely romper suits for the girl at work who will be leaving to have her baby soon, I got 2 tunics, 2 cardigans and one top so I have done well from the online stuff as usully end up with nothing!
Was hoping to do some gardening today but its raining and very dull outside.
Hope you are all having a good Saturday

Do you create opinion topics on tolly? If you do, let us know what your user name is on there and we will come and answer your questions. When you get over a certain number of different answers to a topic (think it's 21), you get bonus points. Then for every ten extra you get more points.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your welcomes! I have been hard at work trying to find lots of things to review on DY to reach the £50 for a cheque. Have been searching in my handbag and house to see what I can find so have done another 5 reviews this week. Up to £32 now so just another £18 to go

Hope you''re all having good money-making weekends!

Really p'd off at T today, I have just spent 10 minutes each on 3 seperate surveys only to be screened out at that point after answering most of the questions.
I think its really unfair this doesn't usually happen, I guess they are making it harder in every way to earn points, think I might give it up as a bad job as I nearly just launched the laptop it upset me that much :mad:

Hi everyone, how are we all today?
Seems we have a few people absent latey, where is everyone
Hope all absentees are well and ok. Welcome to all newcomers, pull up a chair, grab a cuppa and please join in, we are a friendly bunch here, I'm the one who tends to excessively ver use smileys. 
Well done everyone on the money making, sounds like we are all doing really well, it certainly will all add up at the end of the year
Sorry to hear about the surveys kec, what a pain, hopefully a new wave of surveys next week will be luckier for you x
Been very busy catching up with money making after feeling so unmotivated recently, spent more time spending rather than money making, all of which have been AMAZING bargains. and all have been money neutral too.
All up to date with surveys, haven't done opinions and polls I'm afraid as they seem to all be deleted shortly after posting. Have chased pending payments which should have been refunded on paypal, should have £25 coming back from that. Have items on ebay so not really sure what to do now... I'm usually so behind!
Have had a good old read of the hummingbird bakery cookbook, will be making a keylime pie next week and either cookies or cupcakes to whilst things are quiet.
Keen to know how everyone else is doing, might need to fish some of us back out of Tesco xxComping wishlist for 2017

:wave: Hello all! I am alive and popping on here but still distracted with Tesco thread! I am well and truly hooked!
Very happy today as an out of date SEL in Tesco said Turners Road was 4.99 so used a voucher and some cash and got free wine and £30.00 back onto my card!!! No I can afford to pay Sky as they returned a direct debit Thursday!
Very slow this month but am trying! Been on T and still on 75,000 been on this for agessssssssssss!
