Legendmum

Well here I am at the ripe age of 28!!! Although OH has told Connor that I am 60!!! Thanks for the singing and cake Elysia but OH surprised and not only got me a cake but help DS make a card got me some decent presents and money! Feel bad for slating him yesterday now! Although this is the first time in years he has made such an effort! Thumbs up from me!!!

Michelle I dont know how you do it! I f I go to bed later than 10.30 then it doesnt make for a happy Legend! lol

Right off to check the emails! See you all later¬! x

Happy birthday Legend, hope you have a good day and enjoy your cake!!

Still no luck on T for me, I just cant get put through for any surveys since I updated my profile! I cant think what I changed that would have made such a difference! Got a few on onepoll/yougov..I cant remember which it was now, none on viva for me today (still chuffed with my £1 yesterday that meant I could redeem) Going to make myself a hot chocolate (I'm refusing to put the heating on until at least october so might fill the hot water bottle at the same time and stick my feet on that for a bit...)
Hope everyone has a good survey day!

Elysia - lovely singing, i was humming along withyou , its a myth all welsh people can sing. Mind you everyone says i can sing, but hearing the xfactor rejects i worry that i sound like that and refuse to sing in case they`re being nice. I used to be in a band but i played guitar...;)

Happy Birthday Legend

Glad you were spoiled x

Elysia - I havent got time to go in hospital because OH has booked an 8 week holiday, not all at once, but 3 weeks, 2 weeks, 2 weeks and a week:eek:. He thought I could have the op and if everything ok it was the way I would rest. So he asked the consultant and arranged all the things/countries I would like to visit:o which is a nice thought but OMG i`m not that keen on holiday and with xmas coming as well, is he having a giraffe...

Hello to everyone thats new to the thread . Everyone on here is lovely and every penny earned is a penny more in the pot!

Well Im off work sick today Got sent home yesterday. Totally the worst time to be ill, Im behind on my work and its my 4 month probation meeting next week so I wanted to be up to date for that! Hopefully resting today and staying warm will mean I can at least function properly tomorrow and can get some things done at work.

Just tried to get some surveys completed on toluna as I want to trya nd redeem asap on that. I have not done very well on that site so after this redeem I am going to call it a day. Would like the vouchers to arrive for christmas so I know I need to get a move on if I am to stand a chance of getting them by then. However I have been screened out of every one

Thanks for the link Elysia, I joined McCains last night. Was doing the survey for 200 shillings and it crashed right near the end grrrr. So just to check I just need to go on once and week and play each game?

Did have something to cheer me up when I got home yesterday from work.... a message to say I had won a goodybag on fb! yay! They said they would post it yesterday so fingers crossed for it arriving today . I dont usually do comps, my friend has some great success but I dont have time. Might do a few today so I dont get too bored.

Whats everyone elses plans for today?

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEGEND

Morning all

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEGEND XX

Well done on the win Giggles, I won yesterday on a blog giveaway so I can imagine how you feel lol.

I had a couple of surveys that completed this morning, and I got a review done on DY. Just catching up on a bit of rating on there for half hour then I am going to go and cut out some bits for sewing so they are ready when I get my machine back.

Morning guys.

Happy Birthday Legend. I won't try singing either, but I am glad to hear your DH went to town and spoiled you.


Got to bed just after 11, read a couple of chapters. Head down by 11:30. DH woke me up about 6:30 though when he got up, but I am fresher than I've felt in a few days so obviously needed.

No idea what the plan is yet for today. See what is around for about an hour now before picking up DS2, then lunch and get DS1, then see what they fancy doing. No idea what time DH will be back tonight, and he will be exhausted travelling all that way in one day.

I don't know how I do it either guys. I do so much at times my head is spinning. I don't know if i would be more efficient too trying to do a bit less? Who really knows.

Hope you all have a fab day. Sunny but cold again today.

Hello all,
Can I join??!
Am currently working full time but due to go on maternity leave just before xmas, awaiting the arrival of our first one in Jan
Will be a big change to our incomings and DH is worried about his job at the mo so having to be really careful with money.
Already an avid ebayer but will be doing all I can to become money neutral next year.
Is there a spreadsheet for this year? I did try and click on the one in the very first post but it didn't seem to be working...
Thanks

Happy birthday Legend, hurray! Glad Mr Legend made the effort sounds like you had a lovely start to the day

i'm officially out of the money making game for September, have been getting iller and iller with all the late nights, have been to the doctors today as I am run down and have an infection. Have antibiotics which will hopefully help unless the infection has gone deeper, whatever that means. Couldn't have happened at a worse time

After docs I decided to go to Tesco, to pick up prescription of course and found the polly pocket party boats stocked up today, so picked one up for dd, after dtd it was free. Hurray! Also washed the car whilst getting tesco petrol, as you do.

I have already beaten my best months total, so I'm going to gracefully step down and have some well earnt r&r before my body completely packs in. Will do bits here and there but I'm not going to push it.

Hope everyone is having a good day

Hiya Pinkerton - there is a spreadsheet but like you have seen, it's faulty. I can email you a copy if you like. Welcome to the thread, you are most welcome to hop right in. Congrats on your pregnancy - all these babies due - there must be something in the air.

Michelle - you're going to get more done if you can concentrate better - remember school revision? You need to be fresh and alert. You should stick to your promise of going before 11, like you said on Bumbling.

Rufus - way hey - you're on target for the challenge. I think you might even beat it at this rate. I'm at 3/40 so I have a way to go. I have so much to write but can't seem to get motivated again. Well done on the surveys today.

Giggles well done on winning your prize, but sorry to hear you're poorly. I hope you feel better soon. Is it really 4 months already? That zoomed by.

Susan - 8 weeks holiday - wow that's a round the world trip by the sounds of it. Not very restful though. Isn't that lovely of OH to organised that? You're right to enjoy the holiday, it might take your mind off things.

Pablos - how are you doing honey? I'm sat here wrapped up like a christmas present in my slanket. I look like a mummy. Try re-doing your interest surveys again, to see what the problem is.

Legend - I'm really pleased OH made the effort for you. Did you manage to find a TP?

I've had my Dad here today (computer geek) trying to sort my comp out. It seems to be running faster now. There are a few casulties though. The software for S&S has become corrupted, and my clicker won't work at all. I can't transmit anything. Also, Ipsos have decided they don't like my computer settings and deleted me off the panel. I had £20 available to redeem on there as well. They say I can re-join but I've lost my money Not sure what else is going to go wrong. If it continues to play up, I'm going to have to take it back to factory settings so that should be fun.

On other news - I've sold some giftsets I'd got as spare presents, in a Boots glitch last christmas, to my mum. They were going on ebay next month, but it saves me listing them plus fees etc, so I've made £20 there. Plus I've had Viva payout. I've also qualified for another product test which pays something silly like £3.75 on VO, so not having a too bad Money making day considering. I just need to rejoin Ips

ETA: Savvy I do hope you feel better soon - it just proves the point I was trying to make to Michelle. You take it easy, and although not money making, please do keep popping in to see us. I hope DD doesn't catch it, that's all you need.:(
