Samm - You looked stunning, and so happy. It looked like a fantastic day was had by all. I love your colour theme too.

Sorry to be so nosy, I can't resist a wedding.

Just had a message off Esmer. She's doing well, but due to work, and home commitments, doesn't get much time to post anymore.

Managed to lst 9 items on ebay, 3 of these were clothes bundles which i have been putting off, because I am a lazy mare sometimes. Still got lots to list, just have to find the time, maybe doa few tomorrow and save the rest for the next no fee weekend.

This board has really got me motivated - thank you.

Hopefully i can keep the momentum gogin for when i finish work in July, as i wont be going back to teaching, and wont be working then until i am fully registered as a childminder, so the extra pennies are going to be very useful

Going to go wake lil lady from her afternoon nap, play in the garden, then exercise and surveys tonight if all goes to plan

Reporting for duty Legendmum and Elysia2003.:rotfl:
:oSorry I've been awol, May was a month of 1 step forward, 3 steps back and I decided to follow the saying "if you've got nothing good to say, then say nothing". I had internet connection problems which meant I was cut off half way through surveys and you can't refresh or press the back button on surveys.:mad: I had a NPB on eBay, another buyer gave me bad ratings which means my DSRs have taken a hammering as I've not been selling much recently and I have no idea why they marked me down on all the ratings as they left a positive comment. I missed out on claiming a voucher on Woohoo by a few gold stars before the increases, it feels like an uphill struggle now to get to 350 golds especially when I've not got back into a routine of playing on there since the downtime. I wish I could say things have improved for June but alas I can't, I've got 2 more NPB on eBay and it's only day 4. I'm going to try and stay positive and keep my fingers crossed that things start running smoothly for the rest of June. So here goes the June challenges:

Challenge No 6 – June 2011

1. Take the oath – Promise you will complete every survey on so and so site. Whatever site it is, is up to you. If you’re struggling with any one imparticular, make it that one, OR if one is sending you quite a lot lately, make it that. It’s your choice.
I, aspella do solemnly declare to partake in every survey sent to me by all the survey sites, especially 2Luna , until the end of the month. I aslo declare to do the sponsored polls on 2Luna on a daily basis not just once a week/month.

2. Pay the forfeit – Earn £2.50 a day by any means possible – using vouchers while shopping, surveys, writing reviews, eBay sales spread out over the week, etc. However you'd like to do it is ok. If by the end of the evening, you haven’t earned at least £2.50, you put 50p in your savings account.
If I spread the eBay sales I had on the 1st June over the week and include amounts earned from surveys, plus a £1 off moc on my shopping then I've achieved this for the first few days of June. I'll have to take a look at the no purchasing offers on the cashback sites to make sure I hit the target on a daily basis especially on the weekends when surveys are scarce. I, aspella do solemnly declare to post on the thread whether or not I've achieved this challenge on a regular basis to make me participate in the forum more often, so I don't have members worrying.


3. Remember Quidco! I don’t know about you, but I seem to have got out of the habit of using Quidco/TCB when I’m making a small purchase, thinking, oh it’s only pennies. That could be why my payments have gone drastically down. Make sure you use cash back sites for EVERY online payment, and don’t forget your reward cards in store. You’ll soon see the benefit.
I don't purchase much online but always go through cashback sites and look for discount codes when I do purchase things. I'm going to try and get back in the habit of doing clicks worth 3p+ (few and far between nowadays) and no purchasing offers across various cashback sites. Remember the motto "Every penny counts".

Hope things improve for you aspella, april was like that for me and the beginning of May. Things have improved a little now.

This week we decided to put my youngest (who is 21 months) into a bed as we go camping next month and can't take the travel cot with us so he needs to get used to it. He has been poorly the last few night so has gone off fine. But tonight I have spent the last half hour going up and down putting him back in bed and leaving him to cry. The OH has not been any use he has fallen asleep on in the chair, ahhhh :mad: Hope he gets a bad neck!

Sorry had to tell someone I'm going mad here.

elysia2003

Thanks so much for popping in Aspella. I'm really sorry to hear about the troubles you've had and I really, really hope that things start looking up for you.

Well done on all those pledges. I hope it helps you to focus you a little. Just don't get putting yourself under too much pressure to acheive everything. It's only a guide to help us keep motivated.

I feel for you, I really do! Hopefully he'll get used to the bed soon. I'm dreading this with my daughter, think I'm gonna have to empty her bedroom so she's got nothing to play with then try it. I think I'd be pretty peeved if I had an OH and he did that, but no it's just me so I'm gonna have to lump it :rotfl:

Just did a 40 minute 350 points survey on Op world and I got to the questions at the end 'are you employed' blah de blah de, then it errored me emailed them so hopefully they can sort it out, that would of been the challenge for today done!

Claire - I remember that feeling well. OH sat there being useless, when I was trying to deal with DD. You moan away all you like.
