    Thanks Michelle for the info on the DU promotion, and Viva. I know how hard it is with your DS's. I looked after my neice full time until Christmas, while her mum was at work, and while I could leave DD2 to play nicely, My niece was a handful to say the least (a nightmare child if I'm completely honest) so I hope things settle down for you soon.

    Sorry to hear you are still unwell Bunbun - you take care, and I hope you feel better soon.

    I just redeemed on SB. I've given up on W00-Hoo - it'll take too long to redeem, so I'll continue with this instead. :)

    Evening all

    The trip went ok after all. Good job I wasnt alone though, there is no way I would have got on and off the train on my own so glad OH was with me. I didnt relax until we got back to his Mum's after and even then I was worrying until I heard YD had met up with her friends parents. Got home and was sorting her Bday presents out and wrapping them all (Bday two days after she comes home), had the radio on and they gave out there had been a car accident in the exact place where they are staying. My stomach went over like no bodies business. Rang her mobile and couldnt get an answer so in a big panic I rang her friends mobile and YD answered. They had got to the caravan park ok, must have just missed the crash or they would have got stuck in the traffic queue. So now I can relax and enjoy the week.

    Just had a few surveys in my inbox. Managed to do two SN surveys, got screened out of the rest of them. Have two items selling on EB tonight.

    I am so tired after getting up at 4 lol so going to give the computer a rest tonight and watch tv.

    Typically the site is down - changing to a new server apparently.

    I had a quick squizz earlier and made a little list - might help some of you. Remember, to qualify, it has to be the 1ST review, and you need to let them know about it.

    Ok - I was going to check these category one items.

    household appliances such as WM, TD, DW, BM, DVD player, toaster, garen tools such as lawn mower and trimmer, cooker hoods, digital cameras, cameras, camcorders, digital photoframes, fitness items, childrens car seats, PC items like printers, internal parts,

    Hope that is some help. If all you do is find some model numbers so you can then get them checked when they are up. If anything, I am going to try and write some of these anyway, as it soon builds up your points adding 60p reviews, and also any in the household appliances will also qualify for the monthly competition so another chance to get points.

    Well done Pink - I got screened out of Viva ones. I've done a few surveys today - but either for pennies or prize draw entries. :(

    Rufus - Glad DD got there safely, and what a scare with the car crash - I hope all involved are ok though.

    Well what about the NOTW paper going to pot? I would say it was power to the people, but look at this - the Sun on Sunday (new name for NOTW) was registered two days ago.

    Michelle I noticed the paypal too - but Amazon is slightly better value ( ETA: or is it? £3.00 for 600SBs or £5 Amzn for 849).

    You just beat me with the code. LOL

    Off now, night all, and have a good day tomorrow.
