    OK panic over:rotfl: I amended my order and added a gift voucher to my original order. hopefully it will be an amendment not an addition but won't be complaining if I do get 3:rotfl:

    giggles congratulations on getting the job that is fantastic news:j well done

    I finally managed to redeem on viva last night:j then lost £1 cos i used the back button and the whole survey froze:(

    savvy hope my using your link goes somewhere towards your three referrals. I am planning non using mine to buy pyjamas for the boys. not very exciting. I can't believe how expensive they are but they fit ds2 and he will wear them so they are worth it:D
    sorry to hear you have all been ill and hope you are feeling better. happy anniversary!

    elysia what have you ordered from boots...and argos!!

    claire hope your OH's interview goes well

    Not sure if mine is one of the ones already showing but I got through your referral too. Thanks hun.

    Happy anniversary savvy.

    Managed to make about £5 in surveys after going through my links and emails so pleased with that. Still waiting to see if guides get published.

    Take care all

    I bought some christmas presents from Boots, but I can't say what because I have family who lurk. ;)

    Savvy - so glad you got your referals hun - are you at three now? If so does someone else want to post their link? You might get one or two (or even three if you're lucky) and it's some towards the next offer. ;)

    I was fed up this afternoon - OH took DD and the dog to the park, and I was home alone - Bliss. I was looking at some blogs - I haven't done that for ages. I felt all inspired and made a card myself. :A. I b*ogged it if anyone wants a peep.

    Tan - how did your craft fair go? I hope you made lots. We need pics of your makes, if you have some please. :j

    Thanks for using my referal link, still need a third to get one voucher free. Although it would be lovely for a third, I'm not overly worried, it is still an amazing offer. I never manage to get a VIP slot in sales and I can't be doing with standing outside Next a 4am waiting for the shop to open on sale day, this means I can buy dd clothes at my leisure at sale price without the fuss - priceless :) Thank you everyone who used my link.

    Ooh I'm missing Boots so much, I miss the glitches and fantastic offers but I still have loads of soap and glory left from Christmas, and bags of toiletries stashes in bags dotted around the bedroom and tons tucked away from the 75% and 90% sale. Need to have a big big sort out and decide what I actually need and what can be sold or gifted.

    Well done bunbun, nicky and stepmum on your moneymaking today!! Well done on the card making, you are very talented, I'm pretty rubbish at making things, really fancy doing something creative but no idea what lol.

    Agreed, we need pics Tan :)

    Done absolutely nothing today, feeling a bit better and finally stopped sneezing. Hubby over at his parents house now so not sure what to do this evening. I don't want to study :p Are they still accepting guides? If so what do I do? I'm sure I could get them done tonight if so :)

    They were still accepting them yesterday Savvy. Here's the details - http://news.dealtime.co.uk/shopping-com-uk-news/guides-promotion-details-901004789

    Once your review is published, that means it's been accepted, all payments are expected to be made June 1st, so just missed May's totals. :( but what a start to June. :j (thanks for asking giggles ;))

    Morning everyone, had a bit of bad luck yesterday, had letter from the Royal Mail surveys I do saying it had come to their attention that Royal Mail had found out I was on their team and have had to sack me. Didnt get a lot out of it but the stamps were handy and used to get a voucher every now and then. Sent me a £5 voucher to pay me off and asked if I would keep doing it until it wore down, I thought well up yours lol and have put everything in one of their envelopes and will post it back anything else that comes will go in the bin. Cant be bothered with it.

    Sorry to hear that Rufus. If RM had found out, why were they happy for you to continue? - something fishy going on there. I understand how you feel about the stamps though. OH gets 50 as his Christmas bonus. With sending Christmas cards, DD's thankyou cards for Christmas and her birthday (Jan) they are all gone by Feb. :(

    Hello everyone. Thanks Rufus for telling me about here :)

    I'm just starting out and have been in 'The Sewing Room' eager to learn and then to make but until then I need to save for a sewing machine, just a basic one for now.

    I have my eye on a John Lewis mini for £59. So I join you with a sewing machine as a special occasion lol But I'd love to join you all next year to do this properly.

    I have joined Valued Opinions and have £1 on there by completing two initial surveys so a start and choose to be paid by John Lewis voucher.

    Off to join more sites.

    Hello everyone :)

    Hi Freudian

    I had to go earlier but glad you have come over, plenty of us on here doing different things, Elysia keeps us all in check and gives us a kick when we need it. She sets a challenge once a month as well with ideas we can follow if we feel like it to give our money a boost.
