    I was lucky yesterday bunbun as I know a woman on the tills, well technically DS does as she has always loved chatting to him, so any way when I saw her I went back and got the roses! Mixed them in with my shop and chatted away as DS wasnt with me so were talking about him and she was so busy chatting she didnt even notice 15 roses at 1p each! Wish she worked more often and also wish the roses were restocked more often! lol

    Well done on the crowns michelle! Shall we start calling you your majesty?>!

    Susan - there are lots of vouchers on the voucher thread (on the same board as the grabbit, but scroll down a bit). Some you apply for via email, and some you print out yourself.

    The roses are among dozens of things at Tesco which are priced at 1p so the staff take them off sale, but if you get a friendly SA or can distract them, they'll put them through the till. If you look at Grabbit, someone has made a website with the full list of penny items. There's never any at my store though :(

    I've had loads of surveys today but got screened from most. but I must have made my £2.50, I've not kept track though. I've done some surveys on SB too. Two (or it may be three) didn't track but one 150 did. I think they are a bit hit and miss. I was looking at SB too. I don't know why - I thought it was a penny per SB but it's not. :(

    I managed to get another PC survey today which was my 3rd this month so i am really happy there. The most i have ever had from them in one month.

    I also had two global test market totalling 75, which takes me to 615 points there and some hope i will cash out at some stage there.

    I haven't really checked anywhere else yet.

    I have been totalling up what i had made, and up to the end of yesterday it was £250. That was money earned.

    Money received is over £300. Wow. If only all months were like this. I am definitely going to look at writing it down this way in future in my diary as i have really pushed myself. July is longer too. :D

    Well done on the crowns michelle. Some luck must have rubbed off as I got a crown for my last review on dy today, really pleased as I had put more effort into it.

    Not sure my month total will be good as all yours but I guess it reflects the amount I put into it. I am really pleased though it will be my best this year so far.

    claire- well done on your crown. That is great news. It is not luck, it is definitely hard work i think, and don't forget there are another couple of days left to have a big push at it, and i am sure some of us will carry this on into July. I certainly am as i want to hit cashout on DY again.

    I also know August might be a bit quieter as we will have our holiday.

    well a big fat fail on the survey front for me today!

    However I did get 6 boxes of Thorntons Moments for 1p each in Tesco so I have definately saved over £2.50 there haha

    OOh giggles - don't forget to share. :)

    I can do better than that though - I've just eaten a FREE Gu chocolate souffle pud, and have a FREE box of Green and Blacks chocs for later. Yum. LOL

    Had a lovely evening. We watched DD in her school play. Robin Hood. I was dreading it actually, two hours of torture, but it was really good and the time went quickly.

    She's doing really well at school at the moment - she's been picked to represent the school in athletics again tomorrow. 2016/2020 olympics here we come. :D
