    Legend - I demand you come back and write those guides. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Don't worry about Michelle doing the same, they didn't say they couldn't be, just that they had to be on that list.

    For anyone who hasn't completed the whole five, if you have submitted at least one, you still have the chance to write the whole five. They are not accepting anymore guide writers now - but if you've started you're ok. Nicky, if you've time, you could do some more. ;)

    Freudian - you're not a failure. It's one of those things I'm afraid - you have to take the rough with the smooth. Sometimes you will get a survey shorter than that and it will pay really well. You just have to keep thinking every penny earned is a penny nearer to your sewing machine, and you can get on with creating beautiful things for your shop then, and make more money. :D

    Rufus - woohoo - well done hun.

    Bunbun - hope the boys have fun choosing what they want.

    Savvy - Hiya. Well done on the trial and the redeem. :)

    How is everyone else?

    Few polls on OP at the moment but it is being a bit slow again.

    legendmum - if you want to do Ben 10 do it, doesn't matter that i did one. Just try and think of a new angle. :D

    Hi Elysia, I had another gold this morning lol. then run out of points before I went out so cant play again till tomorrow now. Went out to see ExMil for lunch, she is getting on alright but was back in hospital last week with a scare, alright at the moment though. Gave me a box of Mr Kipling cakes to bring home for youngest daughter, somehow two are missing?!? (wiping crumbs off the computer desk).

    Most of my making is on hold until next week as OH on nights again. Am going out tomorrow afternoon to meet my friend for a natter. I get so bored on the days when he is asleep all day. He is working all weekend too, fri sat and sun night so will be asleep the whole weekend.

    Well done Rufus - you will get there, don't worry. I treated DD2 to the new Lady Gaga album with some of my Amazon voucher - funnily enough it's found it's way onto my ipod. :D Well, you have to teach the kids to share don't you. ;) I'd have had a cake too. :)

    Shame you live too far away - you could have come to mine, and we could have had a natter, and you could have showed me how to sew as well as you. :D Don't fancy moving to the Midlands do you?

    Just been on 1P and there was a ton of surveys. Managed to earn about £1 so that was good. Happy money making all!

    So sorry hun - you've missed this promotion. It was to write comparisons against other products, and we will get paid £10 for each one.

    Fingers crossed, there will be another promotion shortly. :D

    Hi Emmi - thanks for the heads up. I'll pop over there now.

    Thanks for saying about OP as i went back and got another 30p to add to the £1 earlier. I'm at £25 again.

    I'm going to force myself to go and do all the sponsored polls on tolly as i have over 300 of them. I keep putting it off but i am thinking i need to just do it. It's probably not as bad as i am thinking. :o

    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, I absolutely hate really really long surveys. Especially those ones that have really repetitive questions with lots of silly tick boxes set out in rows and rows down the page.

    I am like you and sometimes just bail out. My time is precious :D

    Most of the time they are reasonable though and every penny extra counts.
