    I have failed :( Just spent 30 minutes on a survey, the most boring repetitive survey about super stores. I noticed I was only 50% of the way through and have just quit. 150 points is 150 points but not worth an hour spent doing that. It felt a bit like slave labour to be honest!

    Anyone else felt like that?

    Yes freudian some of them are like that, but then you get a nice one which is quite interesting and easy to fill out.

    hello :D
    feel like i've been away for ever and have so much to catch up on
    1st daughter was poorly took her over a week to recover
    then i had a few days not feeling to good
    so have been rubbish on the surveys and money saving
    so need a kick up the bum to get back into it all

    my lovely mum offered to give me her car , but insurance is absolutly crazy , ive tried 100's of places but because my no claims has expired , and im only a named driver on my husbands its nearly £500 for the year
    [and thats with a £450 excess!!]
    despite the fact i've been driving nearly 20 years with no accidents or claims :mad: so looks like im going to have to say no thanks
    thing is its only a v reg corsa :rotfl:
    just not worth the costs as a 2nd car , so feel a bit deflated about it all

    freudian yes you get some like that , or even worse you spend ages and get to 90% and its screens you out !!!!!! but then you will get a really easy quick one that pays well , swings and roundabouts as they say !

    giggles well done hun on the job :D

    rufus you have put me to shame ive done nothing towards my folksy shop i will get my butt in gear !
    i'd love to see yours :D

    Have fun Legendmum, goodbye wales hello bristol lol. Surprised your hubby is spending all the money on himself and not on you two, that's why I never spend anything on myself, when I bought my car I was made to feel so guilty by hubby and his family.

    Had a good day so far, was accepted onto a trial and managed to redeem on viva. Not much else really, just looking forward to a relaxing evening later x

    Hope everyone is ok x
