Mum2 one - hope it goes ok for you, i`m as worried as you...xx

elysia - i went on o for my groceries as well and ended up buying pop, crisps squash £10 of dog food, was really stuck what to buy which was odd...lol, i didnt go through quid either as I read on crow you had to go through them only

Yippee i made a christmas card.... at last , i`ve put it here

I been arguing all day with a bank, I phoned upto ask a general question, as i couldnt find it in there help section. I also emailed them but they didnt answer the question, i thought right human being needed. Well what a performance. I got a human being, asked for all my details and told me i had given the wrong address, I was arguing like anything i know where i live and gave up as I asked can i ask a general question and they said not until i clear the security checks. So i got OH to phone up, he cleared the checks and then they asked him for a number, he told them he havent got one, he never ever gives anyone numbers or passwords as he can never remember what they were. So he failed the checks as well.
So he went off down the bank and after queuing 35 minutes, very irate they were stroppy and he left muttering he`s going to close all his accounts.

They just phoned us...:eek: and asked what the problem was he said what he wanted to know they told him and thats that....arrrgggg:mad::mad::mad: they wind me up

knit - i know what you mean about the rain - OH got caught in it to when he went to bank , he is not happy...

legend - i get screened out of surveys regular and i leave them alone for a while and when i go back get loads, mind you am not doing many at the moment.

Right new site for you all to join, i did tell elysia a while ago but i was waiting for them to payout. Well the cheque came this morning for £15.50 so I`m happy
look in the bottom rhs of this page

Hope it helps someone..

Knit and Susan - can you still edit your Ocad order?

Look at this post. You can get a free box of chocs. I just amended my order fine.

All quidco and TCB is being declined. Sorry knit.

Yes I have signed up, but not sure I will be accepted as I dont have a credit card. (Well only Homebase one!).
Cant harm anyway. Just the cost of a stamp after all.

My totals so far are very poor.
Valued opinions seems to be 75p still?
One poll is £2.80
Vivatic is £5
Haris poll I seem to have 360hipoints.
The rest dont know. Seem to be surveyed to the gills now.:o
Thing I must get back to the sewing machine as I reckon I can make more money that way in the end.

Elysia - thanks for the link....mmmm i love green and black hope they dont run out

Mooloo - do both if it suits you better. Honestly, it doesn't matter how you earn it, as long as you get a bit extra, that you can put away for Christmas or your other special occasion, that's all that matters.

Your sewing is wonderful - you're so talented. It would be a waste not to take advantage, so if you think you can earn more that way, do it. Perhaps, on an evening, when it's quiet you could do surveys then.

I've done my £2.50 today, but not all through surveys. I've been spending, but saving loads too.

Susan - Green & Blaks is my favourite too, but funnily enough, I'm not keen on the milky ones, so It may be a money neurtral present for someone.

I wonder how Michelle is, it's not like her not to come on during the day. I hope the kids are ok.

I have never shopped with ocado, where do I find the voucher off codes that seem to be mentioned above, seem to have escaped me, and cannot keep up with the pages. Was thinking I could maybe do my food order a little early and use money off vouchers for once? Never seem to have any vouchers for Asda where I get my online delivery from. I cannot get Tesco as they do not accept electron on the internet or at petrol pumps but will accept in store ? Crazy.
