    Have been accepted onto a panel which pays £20 amazon vouchers a month, quite excited as it's been a little slow on the money side of things recently. Has anyone else had an invite?

    Oooh Savvy - tell me more... No invite for me.

    Thanks Michelle - I did and do nominate. I don't always say as sometimes you know it's good and hope to get them, but sometimes it's just as good, but you're unsure - in these times I don't say, as I hope it will be a surprise.

    Riots getting worse - it's hit our little town. :( DD and OH were out bike riding - I phoned him and told him to get home NOW.

    Rufus - thinking of your son - I hope he stays safe. Hugs for you ((( )))

    More surveys on Viva - I qualified for 2 NV ones but IE threw a wobbly on the last one, and it locked me out.

    After no surveys yesterday - I've qualified for every single one today. :T

    Hope he goes on ok. Its just unbelievable, what is the country coming to, there saying that twitter and facebook are where people are arranging the trouble, its just unbelievable. There saying there the worst riots for a generation, surely were suppose to be a civilised country, (sorry that sounds me sound so posh far from it!!), hopefully someone will make a sensible decision and stop hiding behind the human rights act, the people doing the looting etc don't care.
    (off soap box).

    Just heard on the bbc newsflash that the rioting has moved up to West Bromwich, it just makes you wonder whether were safe anywhere.

    Quiet today today, unfortunately dicky tum, think it was the shock of paying £4 a pint!! so let Miss Hoodie have day in pool, she loved it, now watching Simpsons on dvd on computer.

    Very organised done some washing now drip drying (literally) swept the carpet, now about to open bottle wine! xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    I know mum2one - it's really kicking off here. :(

    Legend - I'm was all on my lonesome then. ;) I hope DS has a good day at Folly Farm - I've passed it loads of times, but never been in.

    I'm guilty of not being around much today - have an assignment due at uni next week so am a bit up to my neck.

    Since I got in though I've managed a couple of surveys and a chance at an online forum paying £10.

    Hope everyone is doing ok! :j

    I've been pottering. Done a few surveys, and a bit of rating, but not really as much as usual. I'm also going to call it a night in a minute and go and have a soak as I can feel a headache appearing again.

    I've been worrying too much about these riots. They are too close to my hubbie's family, and it is making us consider altering our plans a little for Saturday to not go anywhere near London. We'll be keeping a close eye on it, as there is no way I am taking the kids anywhere near it.

    Packing was going a bit better today. I think I am slowly getting there.
