Morning all

Have done the first of my reviews, thats 1/25 done. Doing some ratings now for a while as havent done any for a bit.

I am up to 500 points on SW, not sure how many you need to redeem, don't seem to be making lots of extra points apart from the daily ones from tv etc. The games are not bad if I am really bored but most of the time I cant be **sed to play them lol.

Managed a SN survey yesterday evening so bit more towards it.

Morning everyone, it's horrible here in Yorkshire it rained on and off all day yesterday and has been raining since I got up this morning!

Hope the rain doesn't spoil your trip today michelle.

Done review 2/20. Just taking it nice and steady. Done quite a bit of rating too.

Surveys are still rubbish for me at the mo.

What a shame Little lady is going to be poorly on her birthday. I hope you both get a good nights sleep and feel a bit better to enjoy the day tomorrow. I'd love to see some pics of the cake, if it's OK.

Quiet day here too! I've done about £1.50 worth of surveys, and posted two reviews across from DoU. The rest of the time, I've spent rating. I makes me so mad that not many people return the favour - I love doing it, in fact I'd rather rate than review, but I get so wound up, when no-one appreciates it. I need to chill a bit, I think. :cool:

Michelle - I hope you and the boys have had a lovely day. I've been thinking of you, it's been raining here off and on, but I hope it stayed dry where you are.

Oh, ETA: Everyone who signed up to the free postcode lottery, check the site, the prize has rolled over and is now at £60. Sadly it's not mine.

The OP winners have been announced. None of the names ring a bell - but I'm not sure of everyone's first and surnames. Hopefully there is a winner from here.

Hi guys.

It was not a bad day, I managed to do a bit of rating before we went, and though it rained most of the drive there and was raining as we arrived, it blew over while we were there.

I spent about £25 for the kids going on some rides and buying some of those spinny windmill things for the garden. I was trying not to spend a lot, but the kids couldn't go on the rides unless i did too, so i thought what the heck and just did it. After all, all the money saving is meant for making these days out more special, and my boys are well trained and never assume or ask for things. I think they are well trained.

Good day, but i'm quite tired.

I've not done a lot else for money making, but just checked that OP list and I am not a winner. Will check the postcode lottery too later, and I've pasted a review onto DY.

Got to bath the kids first though and get some of the sand off them. They really enjoyed the beach.

Well none of them are me! It would be good if one of us were lucky!

I've been getting screened out of things. Have rated a few reviews but was having bother with the DY site earlier.

I've managed to claim from Ipsos, VO and CP this month so its not all bad.

Have a good day

Evening all

I received my YG cheque today so that's going in the bank tomorrow. Haven't qualified for any surveys today though. Got a bit of rating done this morning, might do another bit now while OH is watching the apprentice, he has gone all day without finding out who won.

cha97michelle

Have only qualified for a 40p survey so far. Bit of a waste of time.

However, just noticed that I won the current issue competition again on chow, so that is another tenner. 2 this month. Wow. Definitely worth your while entering that one if you do it seriously.

It amazes me.

It's weird as I get quite a lot of people write PMs to me here after lurking on my diary for ages. One this week after 3 years. People seem to respond to what I write. I should maybe try and do something a bit more with this when the kids go to school and do more blogging, and perhaps even look at writing some short stories to see if I could earn something.

I'm also friends again now with DY, after they added the extra 60p for my weekend review, and I am sat at £39 so I might actually still get to payout again this month and meet my self imposed target.

Hi chaps,

been awol for a while with multiple chicken pox attacks etc. Good the twins got it at the same time (but not when twin boy managed to take the child lid off the calpol at 3am & we thought we would have to go to A&E but then saw he'd poured it all over twin girls duvet!).

Managed a shed load of redeems in last 2 weeks but now all at £0 again so need some oomph to get started again. Ebay best at mo - saw a boxed set of Vancouver 2010 Olympics badges for £2.99 in the Sally Army, bought on a hunch & a lady in Vancouver bought them for £49.99 BIN within 2 hours of listing :T. No other listing approaching that though.

I've also signed up to Graze & have been sent a link that gives anyone signing up 1 free & 1 half price box, but when hubby did it he got 1st & 5th boxes free. It also gives me a £1 off or £1 charity donation for all signees. http://www.graze.com/p/M2FP1PB. It is a bit of a treat thing but I have 1 box a week & so far mine have been YUMMY. I'm not sure of the etiquette of this, do you think this a Grabbit jobby? Of course all here are v welcome to use it.

Must go, hair dye is starting to tingle.
