    Lovely day all! Had an awful night as very warm and had DS and OH's niece in bed with me and she kept waking crying for her Mum! Then she was awake at 5.30 cos Connor was rolling around in his sleep! I seriously need a nap today! nyway got her off to school, popped into Tesco but sale is absolute rubbish! OH is gutted as they never had a 50% flash sale on Mens stuff so he feels he has lost out!
    DS has school at 12 so waiting until then to pop into town and do a few bits as its so much easier without him especially in this heat!
    No money making for me yet today and I have scoured the survey sites! Hopefully use some coupons later so wont be a total loss on the target if I dont get any surveys!

    Rains due later Nat. ;)

    I popped to Asda with DD1. They have a sale on ladies dresses. I bought one (shock horror) I haven't worn a dress in 15 years, and a skirt in 5, so I'd best get the self tan on my legs pronto. Saved £3 there, I've also done 10p OP. VO £1, MyS 80 pts, and YG 75p. Not doing too bad.

    Michelle - I've not redeemed on Chow yet - I'm almost at £20, I think I'll wait until premium fund pays up in a couple of weeks. I have £35ish on DY too, I really need to get writing some more reviews.

    DD1 bought a Dell netbook for doing uni work on the train on the way in, but since she passed her driving test, she only uses her main laptop. She could sell it, but I want it as my backup, because I'm wearing this one out. ;)

    Well wonders will next cease - I've been on YouGv six months, and I've had two surveys in 4 days - I'm up to £3.75 now :) I'll be cashing out at 2016 at this rate. :rotfl:

    Def agree with you on that one, I've been on yougov for 5 yrs and still only upto £38, yet dad, (he's very internet savvy!!!(not)), I got him joined up, in 2 yrs he has had one £50 payout and now is £40 towards next one.... sure its a case of if the face fits!! xx

    Morning all, lovely day again isn't it :)

    Thanks mum2one, I was quoting other peoples theories from the book ie maslows heirarchy but I just used secondary referencing as I hadn't read the original, only the work from the workbook, eg Maslows heirarchy (cited by Preston, 2011, pg.1) and just quoted the book at the end. It's probably wrong but the guidelines aren't very clear. As long as I'm not losing marks then I'm sure it will be fine.

    Glad to hear things are getting better for you kec, I hope it all works out with you and hubby.

    Well done on making the extra money doing the childrens party stepmum, such a shame the kids didn't know most of the games but I bet they had a great time.

    Well done on the ebay sales mum2one and on the ygov Elysia. I best find some surveys to complete

    Your doing brillianntly, I mean in the nicest of ways, I'm jealous, I can't reference properly for the life of me, I've got a crib sheet for referencing, but it could be wrote in French, yet I can explain to anyone else. It really sounds like your going great guns. xx

    Soz, hit send twice!!

    Blame it on the weather, I had Miss Hoodie in bed with me last ngt, she didn't feel well, but when I went to get into bed, she'd kicked all the quilt off, and was lay horizontal across the bed... and would she move, it was like trying to move a concentre block, so as they say can't beat them join them!! thou don't recommend it for the best ngts sleep!!

    Its fine here, but really stuffy, not far off going to chuck it down, wouldn't minded the sun yesterday, but dad decided to mow the grass, so i'm stuck indoors with eyes streaming and nose running!!

    YG has been alright for me. I joined just over a year ago and i am at £40.

    DY i am at over £13 again. Chow i got £24 last month, and then i just claimed the £25 today. I am hoping i get as much from the premium fund this month as last as i have about the same number of E ratings. We'll see.

    Not a lot about today, but i did have a £2 NV which takes me to £34 there.

    just a quick question about shop and scan, I have had the 500 points for my receipts added, but not he points for uploading my bar codes, are these added another day or should i have received them at the same TIME?
