    What a thriftylicious day :j

    LOONY £15 voucher processed!!! Only asked for in January but what's 3.5 months between friends. And £50 cheque from NCT sale. Did a Tesco dtd today so hopefully that will be the 3rd thing.

    sorry for being AWOL but like legend I know where home is:D

    thanks sambamamba I just checked looney and my voucher has been processed:j not sure why i am jumping for joy as it has only taken 3 months. I miss the NCT sales as I used to make loads from them - my boys are too old now and they changed the selling criteria and made things too complicated. well done on your sales

    nickybo congratulations:j

    legend sorry to hear your ds has had tonsilitis again:( hope you are both feeing better now. sorry to hear you have had to cancel your holiday

    mumtoone your holiday sounds fantastic - looking forward to seeing the photos

    esmer glad to hear the move went well and pleased that dd has settled in well. the house sounds fab and it will be great having a garden

    stepmum/twinkle I applied to join the tesco panel but had an e mail to say the clubcard details I gave didn't match the records or something like that.

    savvy good luck with your OU course

    rufus well done on TCB. my vista orders haven't been paid yet:(

    :T Hurray - all the girls are back. :j

    Legend / Bunbun - we'll let you off. I've been lurking on there too. OOps.

    Sorry to hear about DS too. Can you ask for a referal to the specialist? It's best to get these things sorted sooner than later, and four times in 10 weeks is more then enough.

    Bunbun - how's your DS too and OH. I hope things are getting better.

    Esmer - I'm so pleased the move went OK. I look forward to you getting the internet sorted and being one of the family again.

    Savvy - I didn't realise your course started so soon. I had September in my mind, like the kids, for some reason. You do what you can manage - no one can ask for more than that. You've done so well already.

    Sambamamba - wey hey. Well done hun. Buy a lottery ticket, you never know ;)

    Twinkle - thanks for the link - I've just signed up. I meant to before, but I lost my purse with my clubcard in. :( Although have done the odd DTD, I've been sticking to the rules, and not gone over my limit. Hopefully I'll be ok.

    Rufus - well done on TCB - the last two vista haven't tracked for me, so I put in claims. Hopefully, they'll pay out.

    If I've missed anyone :wave: Hiya. I hope you are doing well.

    I didn't have a processed looney voucher, so i guess another 2 months wait for me there. I did apply for the Mr T panel though, so thanks for that link.

    Not a lot else going on today, as OP is playing up again, and we have had a new settee delivered so i was watching for it, then putting my living room back together. I'm so pleased with it because it was ordered back in January, and it has felt a long wait, but it is worth it.

    I just checked T as I received an email to an enquiry I made in January - it basically said, they hope my problem was sorted and sorry for the delay - no help whatsoever. Grrr.

    I noticed I had two more vouchers processed, so I'm due three in the post. Two from March still processing. Not far off the next one, I've been neglecting looney because of this delay. Hopefully, it'll give me the push to get back into it again.

    Afternoon everyone

    The Amazon vouchers still havent been processed on T, mind you its a Feb one not Jan so may be next month?

    Havent done much more today, had one survey on SN and only one of the ones on OP, the rest I got screened out of. Were about 8 on there too. I am hoping YGov will pick up a bit with the election thingy coming up as they have been a bit scarce lately. I am in the last £10 on there now so would be nice to redeem again.

    Rufus - I was hoping that about ygov this morning :) I've been on there 6 months and done two surveys. :(

    Amazon vouchers usually come before the paper vouchers get processed usually Rufus, and both of my Feb ones have been done, I should keep an eye out, they might be there any day now. :)

    Good news everyone - I have got a job interview!!! Its on Tuesday. Aparently they were really impressed with my CV. So off to buy some smart clothing this weekend and swot up on the company! The interview seems quite difficult (competancy based and a verbal reasoning test???) so want to make sure Im prepared :D.

    giggles good luck for Tuesday - will keep fingers crossed for you

    elysia thanks for asking about ds and OH. ds2 is fine and luckily doesn't seem to have any side effects. the 3 of us (me , ds1 and ds2) have an appointment with the genetics centre next week to see if the condition is in the family or a one off.
    OH is much better but has been on holiday for a couple of weeks so no stress or pressure. he is seeing a psycho therapist once a week. it is expensive but he says it is helping so that is all that matters. hopefully all will be OK when he goes back to work. he keeps making comments like "I'll see what I am like when I go back to work" anticipating the worst. I try to encourage him and tell him he only has 4 weeks before the next holiday.
