Thanks for the heads up about OP, just off to have a look. Had my Quidco payment this morning and did a few surveys.

No problems. I only qualified for 45p, but better than nothing eh?

No luck with OP, only had 2 showing and screened out of both haha Think it will be a miracle if I make it to payout by christmas on OP but very penny counts! Going to head to viva and see if I can complete some surveys there. Want to get to my first payout by weekend!

Morning Ladies.

Internet a bit hit and miss here. I'm finally on here, but internet too slow to do any surveys. Received £5 Amazon from a survey today, and also confirmation that I earned £10 worth of T points for that panel thingy (I thought that was Amazon too ).

Giggles I'm glad you had a good time, but sorry to hear about your cat. They may only be pets, but they're still part of the family. Some of the others will remember I had a rescue dog this time last year, but she had to go back as she bit my daughter, I knew she had to go back as it wasn't safe, but I was still heartbroken.

I didnt do any good on OP either yesterday, two more on there today but no go with either.

Had two more surveys on SN this morning though so will take me over the £20 mark.

The little business I was doing with my Son, he has decided he doesnt want to carry on with it, says he is getting bored with it lol. Its just selling things on Ebay, asked if I want to carry on with it, not a big money maker but earns a tiny profit. Not sure what to do about it as never taken on anything like this before. He has been selling through his Ebay but I would have to do it all through mine instead. Not sure if Ebay will want me to make it into a business account as I dont think there is enough profit in it to pay the extra fees incurred, and don't want to open a new Ebay account. Have heard that once you change your account to business you cant change it back again if I decide not to carry on with it all. I have some stock left over what he is giving me, thought about just selling that off and done with but would be nice to carry on. Any opinions? Thats a thought lol, might go and post it on T and earn some points at same time lol, Rufus xx

thanks Elysia. My Dads always saying how my cat is just as much a part of the family as the rest of us. Hes got me and my Dad wrapped around his little finger (paw?!) haha Sorry to hear about your rescue dog, but you are right safety must come first. Sadly alot of dogs in rescue centres have unknown bad pasts which menas they can (not always obviously) but unpredictable so you had no choice really. I cried watching that TV show 'Me or the Dog' once because they had never properly addressed one of their dogs (they had 2) behaviour and although they clearly loved it immensley it kept biting their children and the dog did it whilst the trainer woman was with them and she said they had no chocie but to have the dog put down as it was dangerous. I always thought that if they had addressed the problem the first time it happened then the dog could have lived happily in a more suited environment.

How bad is life when you can not even have a catch up with on line buddies? I have missed you all so much. I will always come back though xx
Well kids are off. I have a messy kitchen as I am learning to sew. Found a fab site from here called fabricland.co.uk only problem is you have to give your card details over the phone. All went well with my order however. I am having fun at the moment.

I have 20 quid in Amazon , £30 on its way from looney and £40 paper vouchers in cupboard. Other stuff going in to paypal kept getting used, so I have set up a savings account with a standing order of £50 a month and said what ever goes in to paypal is for the bank account. That way I know I am saving.

Hope you are all well. xx

Hi Ddrag, havent seen you for ages, glad you have popped in, sounds like you are doing well with the vouchers, Rufus xx

Ddraig

Thank you Rufus. I am still around. I just seem to be going off in 100 directions all at once, as most of you do. I have inspiration from your blog for a while now. I have made one or two tote bags, and am trying to do a flowy top for my 4 year old. I have the stop bit stitched, now for the baby doll bit. Fingers crossed. I really should pop in. Maybe once a week while I am up to my eyes in it. If you guys don't mind xx

rufusdog52

Come whenever you can Ddraig, good to hear you are getting on with the sewing. Hope we can see some pics when you have finished xx
