    Just popping in to ask if anyone can tell me if Vistaprint cash back is per calendar month or a month since last order? Don't want to end up paying more than I have to!

    Hiya hun. Vista is per calendar month. ;) That reminds me, I haven't done an order for May yet. Thanks. :)

    Thanks Michelle for OP tip. Have been out all day, I bet I've missed them now. :(


    ETA: I just received my second payment from Shop.com and redeemed on Viva! Woohoo

    Thanks for the reminder, I need to do another Vista order soon.

    I've just been doing all the quick polls on T'Looney. I only need about 3000 points for a redeem but I'm getting no surveys at all. I haven't had a T'Looney email for AGES and every time a quick poll takes me to a survey it says the maximum number of people has been reached. Is this happenin to anyone else or is it just me they don't seem to like?!

    Saw the doctor and got officially booked in. He mentioned all the do and don'ts with regards to what I'm allowed to eat/drink/do, but I knew it all from having my son. The only thing that's changed is I can only have 2 cups of tea a day. When I read that last month I wasn't happy, I have (had) about 8 cups a day so I double checked with the doctor and he said that is the advice now. I've already cut back to 2 cups but was hoping he might say I could have more, but no. Oh well, it's not for that long and it's a small price to pay for a healthy baby :D. I'm seeing the midwife tomorrow and I've been given a MASSIVE booklet to fill in by then, I feel like I've been given homework!

    I'm back! :wave:

    Sorry I have been missin gfor two months. I just couldn't get myself sorted and couldn't find time to anything yet seemed to be doing nothing.

    My eldest son started nursery last Thursday, so I am getting myself into a routine. I am going for the whole hog trying to make/save money for christmas and im on a diet. I feel so much better in myself so hopefully I wont disappear again.

    Did my first review on Dy in about a month and I enjoyed it.

    Think I will give the challenge a miss this month just going to concertrate on trying to get some vouchers. Wish me look!

    Sorry I haven't managed to catch up properly. Had a quick read through some pages and I see congratulations are in order for babies on their way. A big hello to all the new members too. If any one has a quick update on things I have missed that would be great.

    Clairey - hiya hun. You've just reminded me, I was going to pm you last night, but DD called me away from comp and I forgot. Oops. I'm glad your're OK though hun. Congrats on the weight loss. I started in Jan, but I've given up already. :(

    There's a new site which is working out to be really good Claire. Vivatic.co.uk. Savvy is doing extremely well ( must be the right deomographic) but most of us have redeemed a couple of times in the time you've been gone. :D

    Did you see the message I posted yesterday? People who work at the Post Office can get a partner and up to 6 kids into English Heritage sites for free :)

    I just came on because I saw a good deal on Grabbit for a free photo mug. Just pay £2.49 p+p. They have some lovely designs, I've just made a lovely one off Elysia for OH for Fathers Day. All details here.

    Welcome back claireylulu :wave:

    Key word should be was doing extremely well lol, I found it really easy to get to payout within a few days but the surveys have dried up a little so I haven't been doing them. Having said that I just checked my account and I have had around £6 added from missing surveys so i have been able to redeem today so thanks for the reminder otherwise I wouldn't have checked.

    So close on the starry one now and have earnt enough to redeem on vo but they take aes to credit now :(

    Haven't had much motivation to do any money making, need a kick in the rear I think ;)
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff
