Aw Nicky cant you find out and not tell OH? I had to know and a few friends since have decided not to find out! I was like ARE YOU NUTS!!!??? lol!

Elysia challenge is going ok some day I hit it others I dont! Best day was the 1st when I did £7 odd! Hopefully when it comes to 31st and I add them all up it should average out!

Just been to B and M and did a bit of a sneaky thing! They are selling Teal Multi Photo frames for 4.99 I had been watching the same one on ebay recently and it ended on 10.01 and 4.95 postage! So I bought 2 today 1 for me and 1 for ebay so if I can sell it at a profit hopefully the 1 for me will be free! Its so cheeky mind as alot of people are selling photo frames or canvases that I saw in there today for extortionate BIN prices! I started mine at 99p and hope it gets bidded all the way up! I am on a teal mission so if anyone sees any bargains in teal let me know!

Legend - I don't blame you at all.

I wanted to buy my mum a rose canvas for her bedroom, when they were new. They're every where now. The cheapest in the shops was £60. I was chuffed to bits when I bought one BIN for £38. About a month later we went somewhere new I hadn't been before and they were only £1.99 (for the same one). I thought I'd got a bargain at the time and was happy - but I bet the ebay seller was even happier.

Wilkos had some nice teal bits, when I was in last week.

Haha, sorry Elysia it's one of those questions that will pop in my head and ask hubby and then I would get that odd look like I was mad, I had forgotten that the whole point of answering was to make it 80 words to get points... ooops

Legend, I would do the same, I figure if it only takes a little more effort to end up paying less for the one item why not? After all someone else will be pleased with their purchase too.

Thanks for the advice about the toys, hubby looked at them and said isn't she being spoilt, so I guess I shouldn't worry about it, after all your right it's the memories not the amount of toys.

Been out food shopping and getting oil and air for the car, why is it whenever you want to fill the tyres up all the local ones are broken or have a long queue. Anyway back now and will try to catch up with a few more of you on looney, only need a few more thousand for a redeem so best put in some effort.

Im close to redeeming on all of them it's so frustrating, hope you are all getting on leaps and bounds

Savvy - I did make it over 80 words in the end. It's a bit crude - but I did it.

I hope you get to redeem soon. I know that feeling - I'm £1.50 off NV, 15p on YP, 15p on VO, plus there's others. :cool:

I'm off to scout on Grabbit again - My head feels like it's going to explode trying to think of all these 80 word answers. :eek:

Welcome to the gang

I think you might have to be invited - there are often surveys on sites that offer you an invite. If you check out some of the sites on the front page they are a good place to start. Good luck!

You can register an interest on volunteer4panels website. Just fill in the form, and there is a bit that asks you to say what panel you want to join, and write shop and scan.



So tired tonight. I can't see me doing much more, but I am going to try a bit more reading/rating.

The film was really good and kept the kids entertained. Good recommendation Elysia. First time we have been in over 2 years, so it was a lovely treat.

I'm starting to get a bit freaked by how much I need to try and do before going away, so that i still have some money to come home to and also just getting stuff done like tidying and packing. I guess I will just have to do what I can, but if I am around less, you will all know why.

Best do shop and scan now while I remember and my panel so I get paid for that. And get some bingo playing.

Michelle - sit and take your time to write a list, so you don't panic and forget stuff. While you do s&s do you need to tell them you're away or is it too early?

We know you're busy, just join in as and when you can - you have to put yourself first.

Hello Karoner - welcome to the thread hun. You should have joined in earlier - we'd have loved it.

Try and take some time to familiarise (sp) yourself with things in the first post. It may seem daunting but you'll be fine, and we'll look after you. Have you joined any of the sites yet? Any questions you need answering, just ask, there's usually someone around to help. Ok?

Thankyou for the reminder for s&s just done mine now.

All this talk about T and doing opinions has spured me on to have a go on there again. I have been ignoring it for a few months so I am going to challenge myself to get going with it again even if I only visit the site twice a week. Thanks everyone.

Right i'm off for tonight had a lot of late nights so really tired.

I'll write in my diary Elysia to do it on Friday. I think I just need to put certain jobs on certain days. Thanks for the reminder there. It's going to be silly things like library books, pick up my prescription, find the cat stuff out for the cattery. I'm sure I will get there, but I always seem to flap.
