    Mooloo - you've made some beautiful things on your blog, I read right back to the beginning, and saving money is what it's all about. I just wish I could make clothes and things.


    Sign back into Buzzagent - there's a promotion on at the mo for a leading margarine - you get a free one, and some money off samples. ;)

    When you have time, try and log back into the surveys - you might find you have some money unclaimed - you never know.

    Hi, thanks very much, its not much of a blog yet, I am learning as my life is usually here on MSE on my Mooloo's threads. Been about 3 1/2 years now.
    I am saving a fortune,..not... as I buy materials all the time, but I am getting better and able to sew more and more.
    I will go and take a look at Buzz.
    I did open an email in my other email thing, and did a survey but even though i had told them my change of circumstances the other surveys were all aimed at my son who has left home.! So I was not able to do them, that was £1 a survey lost. I got a 50p one.
    The good news was that on one I have £5.75 in the kitty, (since sometime last year) although need to be £25 before i can withdraw anything.:o

    So thanks for reminding me!:T
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Well done Mooloo. It's a good start, and you're £5.75 nearer payout. ;)

    Pink - me too! I got to do one on onepol, and viva just froze, so when I refreshed the page (sometimes it works) I just lost the whole survey. I can't face T tonight, so I'm off to have an early night. I'm shattered and can hardly keep my eyes open.

    Clairy and Legend - I hope you both manage to get a goodnights sleep with your little ones tonight.

    Take care all, see you tomorrow. xxx

    Thanks Elysia! He is now asleep but keeps saying his nose is broken, he means blocked, and asking me to get it out! Bless my little monkey!
    Just submitted my Rapunzel guide so done 4 but now I am stuck on what to do! May sleep on it but I am determined to do number 5 and that will also mean I can give one of you ladies my referral thingy!
    Oooh also did 2 surveys on Surveyhead earlier 1 was for £4.21! So once thats cleared I will have £10 to withdraw and I never normally bother with that 1 so may have to keep an eye!

    What is this shop and scan i hear you all talk of( sorry think the brandy has gone to my head - i only had the one)

    I keep being screened out so much made tonight, but have done quite a bit, alos had some sales on ebay ,a dn alot of question aon items as well, so hopefully the majoirty will sell.

    Have to get crafting again, i did have a good find today in home bargains they had small 5 inch round cake tins, for 89p perfect size for small xmas cakes, etc, so i picked a few up for home made cakes and gifts., they were with the kids baking bits they have in at the moment, but they were very good quality

    Knit - it's a company that wants to know what you buy. You have to scan your shopping. Maybe one of the other ladies can refer you if you're interested. It took me 18 months to get accepted though, so the sooner you can sign up, the better. They pay you gift vouchers I think.

    Got to hurry and take DD to school and get back asap - I might miss the delivery of mine else. :)

    Have a good day everyone.

    Can't wait till may is over had a bad month money wise, hoping June is going to be so much better.

    Hope everyone has a good day.
