    Have to agree with you all I think we could all do with a little rest especially with the summer holidays coming. June was such a good month this month feels poor.

    Glad people are starting to feel a bit motivated to do the reviews. I have just done my first 1 of 20. Just another 19 to go! I am hoping my holiday coming up in a week will inspire me. I have to agree with you michelle reviews seem to work best for me.

    I need challenges too. :) Having one for me to do, is working, as I've done a second review now. :) Both are in level one, but the one I did first would qualify for the promotion if it gets added tomorrow, but I doubt it will. ;) Two down, Thirteen to go. :)

    Thanks ladies for spurring me on. You're all wonderful. :D

    The plan is more reviewing/rating tomorrow, and have a few bits for ebay too.

    I have done so much reading/rating today.

    Tomorrow I plan to go through the level one stuff properly. I want to make sure if there is anything else we own that is level one and has no reviews, though I get the feeling that if i own it and it is not reviewed then I might be out of luck.

    Elysia - I emailed them Friday with a product I wanted adding. I used the email addy they gave on FB. If I find anything I might send them a very nice email asking them very politely if they will consider adding it as I have already written the review and would add it first thing Monday if it were done. I'll use the site downtime as an excuse for not adding it earlier. Worth a try? All they can say is no, and in that case you still have a 60p review. ;) Shy bairns get nowt and all that.

    Hopefully someone is still around - sign up to see film first, and get four FREE tickets to see Mr Poppers Penguins on preview.

    (Something to review and a free trip to the cinema :))

    All details here, please be quick before they go. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=45331214&postcount=67

    I just realised I haven't been on here today, nearly 1pm, how bad is that?

    Glad you got some tickets Susan. I hoped everyone else got some too. It would make a lovely treat, to start the school hols.

    I've done another review on Chow (reworked an old one on dooU) and hopefully this one will fit in with their new promotion.

    I've been rating like a mad woman this morning, so I hope my efforts will be worth it. OH isn't too impressed, he's done the housework while I've been on the computer - still, it won't hurt him. ;)

    Have a good afternoone everyone. Oh and Susan, I'll check out your blog later, I need to catch up on everyone else's too. :)

    Good to see you both have your mojo's back elysia and michelle, well done :T

    Must update my blog, haven't updated it on a while even though I have quite a bit that could have gone on. Will definitely aim to get up to date with it next week.

    Thanks for the S&S reminder, I would have completely forgotten this week if you hadn't have posted! it's usually me reminding you all lol

    Still no headway on money making as my next tma is due in a week and I haven't started :eek:. Will plough on with it the next few days and hopefully I can concentrate on some serious money making (I'm itching to do lots of money spending and need to balance things up a bit lol)
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff
