  • Mum2one - I'm so jealous. I'd love to go to prague. My Grandfather was Czech. Well done on the redeem.

    Good luck everyone.

    Legend you're not lonely today. Yippee. LOL. I haven't heard of that download thingy, but it would be good for me too, I don't use my phone much at all, so I would be getting extra points for nothing really. ;)

    Morning everyone. :) I hope you all have a good day. I'm off out again today (OH weekend off) so I might be about later on. Have a good day. See you later.

  • No worries Elysia, they have chaged the system now, you used to be able to vut ad paste now it says technical error, it says it's there way around spyware accessing their surveys. Nevermind. I bet the few who did get on are chuffed to bits!

    Best catch up on surveys. don't forget s&s receipts today and tissue thingy legend and elysia xx

    Hi all, been awol as haven't really felt very sociable. Been suffering since our break in - not sleeping, panic and anxiety attacks etc. Have spent the last 2 nights with DD at my mums. Breakthrough is the police have found the car - apparently undamaged and still with kids car seats in the back! I dont want it back though - the thought of someone trying to take it again freaks me out.
    I haven't really been doing anything MSE, ebay has gone down the pan this month, and although I have done a few surveys I am really off track with it. Think will have to write this month off and try doubly hard in October.
    I cannot believe Christmas is only just over 100 days away, it seems to have come round really quickly. I ordered a couple of things out mum's Avon catalogue last night for DD, and have some bits put away, but that's it.
    DD started school this week too - she is loving it, on her 2nd day she didn't even want me to line up with her, I told her she didn't get a choice!
    Motto: You gotta be in it to win it!:j
    2015 Objective - Pay off credit cards/Overpay mortgage
    2015 Wins: Nothing yet, but keeping trying :T

    Hi everyone

    I am back from my weekend away, and have finished al I didnt get many surveys done while at Dad's as was busy plus of an evening his broadband was going really slow.l my Dad's wallpaper at last. Seems to have dragged on for months.

    I had my Ipsos vouchers while I was away so I have added them to my account. I clicked on that link Elysia but it said I have already done that survey? I dont remember doing one for cereals. I am sure I would have remembered a £60 one lol.

    I will try to catch up a bit more tomorrow when I am back to normal again xx
