Morning all :wave:

Oh no Nicky I remember that well, I was so fed up of ginger biscuits after a few days, 6am is not a good time to be eating those I can tell you. What I found helped me was fruit. I had little bags of sliced apple and grapes to take with me to work, it took the edge off the morning sickness and didn't make me put on the pounds. Also mint seemed to settle mine, rennies are good or mints.

Logged into loony to find 20k of points added Half way to a redeem now so will have to keep up with the surveys.

I got to redeem on the starry one yesterday, a total of £15 made yesterday so not doing as bad as I thought.

My most expensive quote was £82,000 :eek: Absolutely ridiculous isn't it! Luckily my insurance is much much lower than that but it is definately worth shopping around. I was a little worried when I heard that the law has now changed bringing womens car insurance in line with mens but after doing a comparison my car insurance will be around £150 cheaper elsewhere.

I was told a great way to bring insurance down for new drivers is to have a male over 40 with over 8 years or more no claims discount as a second driver, it should take the quote down considerabl

I used to drink a lot of ginger and lime tea when i was pregnant with DS2. I had awful sickness till about 21 weeks. I was sick every day. At first i was only sick in the evenings, and then as i progressed i was being sick at school too. One class i had to run out and leave to be sick. Not ideal as i was a science teacher at the time.

Certain things really set me off, like the smell of cigarette smoke even if it was on someone's clothes. Yuck. I used to stand near the window a lot and try and have big gulps of fresh air when it got too bad.

I did quite well yesterday and managed to claim £25 worth of amazon vouchers, mostly from my shop and scan account. All comes in handy. Getting there, some days quicker than others. I'm at about £3.50 again on ciao, so slow there too, but i have faith i might make a fair bit this month.

DH also got a letter saying he overpaid his student loan, so that should be a nice rebate. I hope he remembers to ring them today.

Michelle what fabs news about the loan. And you're doing fab on Ciao - I'm at £2.13. OK it's only a matter of pasting them over, and rating a few, but I won't be keeping it up. I prefer dooU.

I've been waiting for my scanner so I can get earning - I had an email last week saying I'd been accepted to the site, and what day would I like my scanner to be delivered? I said Monday but nothing's arrived yet.

Still halfway on T - keep getting screened out of surveys. I've just been and made half a dozen polls, will try and get around a few people today.

Susan - I hardly look on Grabbit or else I spend too much too, but I do try to check for any freebies.

Thanks for all the ms recommendations ladies.

Right, toluna, if you go on to your points page, if you have any points expiringit says on the bottom right, if theres nothing there ten you're ok, i have been away from toluna for about a year which id probs why they've expired.

Forecast is for rain this weekend so party might have to be indoors, but that will be fine. Got a lot of stuff to make over the next couple of days but that's fine as i already have all the supplies so it's not costing anything. I'll try and upload some piccies.

The points will soon rack up once you get going. I worked out i had £100 from them over the last tax year which is fairly good, and i am not even doing all i could. I never do the receipt scan for 50p a week as it just seems to much hard work.

elysia2003

Thanks for the info Michelle. I can't wait to get going with the scanning. ETA: Just rang Neilson - my scanner is being sent out 26th.:(

Scatty - yes, please post some photos. I bet it will be brilliant. Are the kids going to be in fancy dress?
