    Cornish I'm the same if you can find me. ;)ETA: Found you hun. :D

    Legend - I have a vodaphone dongle and I wouldn't be without it. It cost about £29.99 to buy with £15.00 credit on - if you read the terms and conditions it says that £15.00 will last a month, but I've had mine two years and only just topped it up. It goes on holiday with me, or to the library when I'm doing research, or it's even been to the playcentre - DD goes off playing, and I sit there and do some surveys. Dedicated or what!!! LOL Well done on your £50

    Butterfly - sorry to hear you're still having internet troubles - I hope they get it sorted soon.

    Clairey - I got my first product test for months this morning, so I expect that in a couple of days. :) Ready rolled pastry - exciting.!!!

    Aspella - Well done on your ebay listings and I'm glad the none payer paid up.

    I've forgotten everything else so I'm sorry if I've not replied. Mums Op has been re-scheduled again, it is now tomorrow pm. What a palaver.

    Todays- £1.75 VO, 70p OP, 40p Crwdlgy, and ALL surveys and polls available on T. So I have done my £2.50. Will pop over to Viva now.

    I've got watchers on most of my 18 things on EBy, but no bids. I never have more than 10 items on at any one time, but I just kept listing yesterday, so they were spread out during the day. I can package them up before I leave on Friday, and will only have to put the addresses on when I get back then.

    good day here.

    £1.90 on OP, 50p YG, 40p c-ology, and i actually knew some answers on that one for a change so i didn't feel stupid, and reached payout on bingo. Cool.

    I make that £7.80.

    Then, the box of washing powder i got was a big brand, and a 20 wash box so if i had bought the equivalent box myself would have been £6.40, so i am a happy chap.

    I've also written 30p DY review, and i dare say ciao will be about 10p for the day too, so a good day. :rotfl:

    elysia I had the survey about pastry...but didn't fit their criteria:( hope all goes smoothly for your mum tomorrow

    I finally used my next vouchers and the orders went through smoothly although I missed out on the free delivery. I didn't see where to put the code and before I knew the order was being processed:( still I am impressed with their delivery - next day for no extra cost.

    Forgot - we got another freebie. DH came home with 16 boxes of toffee and pecan dorsets cereal (375g boxes) as they were left behind after his company did a gig the other day, so i guess that is breakfast for a few weeks for free too. Told you all it was a great day. :D

    Woohoo Michelle - free stuff is brilliant. :D

    How are you all getting surveys on Yougv? I've been on there 6 months and I'm still only on 250 points. I expected some when the election was on but nothing. :(

    Bunbun - sorry you didn't get the product test. I'm glad you had good service with Next though - it's great isn't it? I don't mind paying p+p if I'm ordering a lot, but when it's only one or two things it comes expensive.

    Only one survey on Viva when I checked but got screened. I'm a bit cross though - remember that 'job' I had for writing about the solar panels? They gave me three days to write it, but over two weeks later and it's not been approved. :mad:

    Xmas Saver!
    Have made £50 today which is turn around from nothing yesterday, will still add the change to the christmas pig though.

    I was wondering if anyone here has one of those internet dongles? Our connection has been a little dodgy this past week but as my course is online I need access without fail at certain times, I was thinking of getting a dongle to use in emergencies but I don't want to be tied into a contract. Do they do payg dongles?

    I use a payg dongle mainly for when I'm away, got tmobile, its really good as its unlimited useage, your minimum top up is £5,
    1 day £2.00
    1 week £10.00
    1 month £15.00

    As long as you use it once every 6 months your covered, - top ups can be done via swipe card (extra pennies for Boots card). I was originally on contract with tmobile when dongles 1st came out, that time they had to go into the computer, then one with long wires, now just like a memory stick.

    Price think its still on offer at £9.99 at Argos. xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
  • I've done all the surveys that have been emailed to me today - although not all successful. The kids have decided they want pack lunches not school dinners this term so that will save me - usually £2.10 for each child (I have 2) but just priced the pack lunch stuff up at 97p per child so I'm saving £2.26 per day. I've also been to shop at Ldil rather than Morrisons so I've saved alot today - and of the 33 items I posted on ebay I've got one selling already.
