    Morning all

    Didnt do any surveys this morning, screened out of them all.

    Glad the party went well Legend and good the weather stayed fine. My daughter is 16 this month and asked if she can have a party but we really wasnt keen on having houseful of teenagers, her sister said she could have it round hers instead but think at the moment she has changed her mind and wants to go to Thorpe Park with her friends.

    Looks like ds had a lovely pirate party Legend, looks like everyone had a brilliant time! dd's hair is the same, with very tight ringlets, luckily the tangle teazer brush makes light work of getting those tangles out but wish it was much easier too lol

    Bless miss hoodie that was very thoughtful of her, well done on your stalls thats not a bad profit. We don't usually have internet problems, perhaps once in a blue moon? When I went to argos they only had the 3 mobile one in as I probably would have gone for t-mobile but its also a USB stick so I can back up my files :)

    Well done on your ebay sales nicky :T

    Off money making, will catch up properly in a bit, sorry if I missed anyone :)

    Morning everyone.

    Happy birthday Connor. 3 today. What a big grown-up boy you are!

    Well done Nicky, on your ebay sales.

    Good luck this week mum2one. I'll be thinking of you.

    Only a 50p survey so far for me today. I checked earlier and DoU is still down, and checked Chow and no PF applied yet. :(

    DD is off school, temperature has lowered but still high.

    FB said DY might not be till tomorrow. And for Chow the prem fund went on on the 14th last month so I wasn't expecting it yet. This week though hopefully. I can't wait to see how we do.

    As it was around the 20th in May the PF was paid, so I assumed it was paid roughly four weekly rather than monthly. It's not a problem. I just can't wait to see how we did either, that's all. :D

    Gosh it's like New Street Train Station here today. I've had one visitor after another.

    Just got screened out of a £3 survey off NV Grrr. I'm nearly at payout so I could have done with that. I got 100 bonus pts off Syn though for my birthday this month, so not all bad.

    Right, I'm off to see if there's anymore surveys before someone else turns up. ;)

    I worked out that is worth about 9p on syn when I got that for my birthday. How generous.

    Is it your birthday today? If so, Happy birthday hon. You deserve a lovely day.

    Hey guys, hope you are all well :)
    Again I haven't been keeping up with the thread or doing surveys, I am terrible I started off so well with it all I shall hang my head in shame :o
    I have however been slowly making my way through my wardrobe and have done over half of it so have lots to list on ebay. I also managed to get some extra paid work this weekend worth £45 - every little helps!
    I have been keeping up with my baking, I am getting more confident with it and starting to make up and change recipes along the way, yesterday I picked fresh raspberries and made some raspberry and white choc biscuits which were lovely.
    I have managed to get a next vip sale slot, not very MSE I know but I have had a £0 bill from them for the last few months so will allow myself a little treat, did anyone else get a slot?
    Aiming to completely pay off the credit card in 2012!

    I got one Kec. I'm a bit disappointed as I forgot to go on at 12, so my slot is 7.30.

    I've got my HUGE list ready (of four items). LOL. I'm a bit fed up with Next though - I ordered DD a coat for school yesterday 9-10 and it was massive, yet I ordered some school trousers aged 12 and they don't fit. Grrr

    You're doing well just keeping the money making in mind Kec, and the extra overtime earns you more than surveys could. You try and get those clothes on ebay and your new clothes will be money neutral. :)

    Those biscuits sound yummy. I'll have to try them. I was going to make flapjacks today, but didn't get the chance in the end. I might do them tomorrow now.

    Not managed much on surveys today :( Managed a survey on iPs0s for 150 points.

    On a plus side I spent the afternoon gardening at my fiances grandmas and earnt £50, going in holiday spending money though. My legs are aching tonight we managed to get a lot done. It hadnt been done in about a year so was quite bad.
