    Morning all :wave:

    Big congratulations Nicky, awwwww love little babies! You must be so excited! I wholeheartedly agree if you can take advantage of the tesco dtd offer it is worth stocking up on some of the essentials now whilst you can get them cheap, especially nappies, wipes, a steriliser, teethers, toiletries etc.

    I have been a little absent recently due to the dtd thread, but I promise I have been keeping up with the surveys and money making. My totals wont be anywhere near as good as previous months but every little will help come Christmas.

    Just catching up on surveys whilst I have a chance to now before I go to tesco, then into town to the Disne storey - hoping their easter toys hav gone down in price, they have lovely plush toy eggs with ribbons around them that reverse into a disney character. Hoping to pick them up cheap now to use as easter egg hunt presents next year. Then back to Tesco :rotfl:

    Hope everyone is ok and doing well :)

    Morning everyone

    Just been on TCB to see if my latest Vista order tracked (doesnt say yet) and found I had nearly £19 ready to withdraw. Most of this is from other Vista orders I did so made them all free in the end.

    Congratulations Nicky. That is great news and i wish you a healthy pregnancy.

    Just popped in as there is over £1 of surveys on onepoll again. I'm screening out of most of them as i don't work, but there should be some for everyone.

    Congratulations NickyBo :D:j
    I got back late last night from a long weekend at the in-laws so no money making from me I'm afraid :o

    HELLO EVERYONE!!!

    I still have to catchup on the thread, but wanted to say that the move went really smoothly, and its looking like a home already. I have even been in the garden and done some planting. It has a long way to go before its a nice space to be in, but its my space :) DD is sleeping better and LOVES it, says im the Best Mummy ever!!

    I do hope you are all well, and when I get my own internet in I will catch up and say a proper hello................... I am stealing my best mates just now as there is a fault on my line. :(

    So off to get some sleep, first day back tomorrow :(

    Congratulations nickybo!:j That's terrific news.

    Just back from weekend in Scotland for a wedding and visiting relatives which was great - and expensive so back to the surveys ...

    Looking forward to next weekend - could get used to these short working weeks!
  • Morning everyone. just popping on quickly to tell you that Tesco are opening up applications for their home panel again (dont know how long it will last) if anyone is interested in joining. Dont think you get paid however you do get products to test/try at home so sounds quite interesting. The link is here
    https://tescohomepanels.com/site1/(S(h5jcow45kn42jeemxcfqjinv))/login.aspx

    Then click on the red button at the top that says "would you like to be a pannelist?"

    Many of you may already be on this but I hadn't managed to join before so thought I would give it a try.

    I will pop back later to catch up properly.

    Take care x

    Thanks twinkle. I have been a panelist for a while, but after we stopped using our clubcard as we don't often shop there these days, the product trials dried up. Great if you shop there regularly as it's largely based on how much you shop there.

    Glad the house move went smoothly Esmer, sounds like a lovely house, you will be so much happier there. Look forward to catching up soon.

    Clix Research is another good one that I mentioned a while back. We got to trial Deep Heat rub within the first week of signing up and there are a few good ones coming up too.

    I may not be around much as of next week as my OU course starts on Monday, I am very nervous but excited. I may have to give up going to Tesco until I get my head around it all but I will try to keep up with the money making and check in when I can :)

    Glad the move went ok Esmer and that DD is settled so quickly.

    I tried to do the tesco panel last time it was mentioned but they said that I was not what they were looking for. Apparently they use your clubcard to see your buying habits and that was what they said no by.

    No luck with viva since hitting enough to do my first redeem, everytime I try to go on a survey, it says there are no live ones. I have tried morning, afts and eve so it's not like they have finished. Grrr
    Managed a £5 redeem on mysurvey and £10 on syno this week so that's good. I also did the shop reviews last week so that's another £10 hopefully on the way.
    Also after buying myself a car I sorted out insurance and that is through Quidco with £80 cashback so that is more to come.
    Dh said that makes the insurance cheaper, what's he talking about??? That money is for Christmas!!! Shhhh

    Managed to completely foget woo bibgo for the last week or so, need to get back on that although I think it is going to take me as long as 1poll to get to redeem!!!

    Take care all

    I'm only a novice - we've lost a few of the members of this board to that thread :( but it is still money making (or rather saving), so it's all fine.

    I am not lost Elysia and I know where my true home is I am on just on vacation! :cool: Normality will be resumed when DTD ends!:rotfl:

    DS has had tonsilitis this last week AGAIN! 4th time in 10 weeks! RIDICULOUS!
    I have had prickly heat all over my shoulders too so couldnt enjoy all of the sun! :(

    The 3 days I booked in Travelodge for 8th May we have had to decide we cant afford to go! Slightly gutted but the washing machine ate the funds I had saved for that and with the price of petrol and the way my car eats it we cant really afford it at the mo! Lucky the 3 nights only cost £27 so not much of a loss I suppose! Last year we went in August so had longer to save next year I will be booking later in the year to allow more time to save!

    CONGRATULATIONS NickyBo! Great news a Thrifty baby!!!
    Mum2One your holiday sounds fab! Get that link sorted would love to see the pics!

    Hope you all enjoyed your Easter!
    Right off to see if vouchers are in on DTD!
