knit did you get shop and scan sorted?

kind of, had to get them to remote to my PC, alot of messing then it worked. tried again yesterday evening, so i just played around with it, kept pressing transmit, then it did it again. I think i may have problems with it again, but will wait and see, it worked once in Chrome, then would not work once i tried again, so i tried in IE, kept pressing transmit then it worked.

Will let you know how i get on over the weekend when i do my next shop

Brilliant results everyone. I got carried away reading the posts since this morning, and had to run out to school. My friend had got DD luckily as I was five minutes late. Why is it, when you run late, and you get stuck behind a bus, or a learner driver? I've forgotten what I read now, so sorry if I miss you.

Knit - I hope the s&s sorts itself out. I've got two scanners, and it took two of us, over an hour to do the scanning and put it away.

Savvy/Susan/Michelle - thanks for the info about piney and the product tests. I won't expect anything then, so when I get something it will be a bonus.

I've done over my challenge today - have done all T, I got 50p for joining one of the new sites yesterday, which I only noticed when I just checked my survey I'd done for £3.00 was credited. I've done one somewhere else, but I've forgot where and how much.

I need to send my photo of my receipt while I remember, so I'll see you all later.

yay at last S&S is working and I have received my points:j quickly redeemed them so another £10 to add to my amazon account:j

elysia when you redeemed your S&S points did you get a voucher or paypal?

sparkleychel hope you get your voucher code from ip**s. I emailed them last week about a survey that froze and they replied very quickly. Unfortunately by the time they replied the survey was closed:(

savvy I am not a member of clix research - can anyone join? (I seem to think it is invitation only)

rufus well done on your home insurance - fingers crossed for the higher TCB payment

well OH has been back to the gp and is now signed off for 4 weeks. he really needs to some serious thinking and he says he is not going back to his school. I don't think it is the school I think it is the fact that he really doesn't enjoy and hasn't for years. he just kept going but now has had enough. I am worried about what he will do as at the end of the day the mortgage and bills have to be paid:(

but...we got some fab news today - ds1 will be getting an award at the year 7 awards evening. it doesn't say what it is for though! we are very proud of him

also...last night both boys did a variety show type performance with their drama school. ds2 sang a solo, his first one ever! we are very proud of him too!!

Thanks for the info on Viva ladies! I qualified for 2 and did 1 this morning so £2.85 on there today! Will try again later!
Just had dinner, the product test from Old El Paso and it was rather nice! Gotta love free food! I have made 2 trips to Tesco today and have got loadsa clothes for DS bought stuff in next size up and the next size up again! I find jeans and trousers so expensive but got loads of pairs from £1.40 - £3 today! And a pair of wellies for 50p which he hasnt taken off much and was out in the garden earlier, in the rain, in a t shirt, pants and wellies! So funny! He can now turn the key when we leave it in the back door so had escaped when I wasnt looking!
