They have an epic competition every week, where there is a pot which is divided between all the people who answered over 1500 Questions with a certain percentage accuracy. So you have all week, but their week starts on a Sunday. So I am starting afresh today, and no way of making it up I'm afraid.

But, they also seem to do these promos every weekend where you answer so many Qs and get a bonus. So, this weekend, 150 gets you an extra £2, then every 80 after that another £1. Sounds easy, but its still quite slow, but I got about 260 Qs yesterday and got the £3.

Morning all, excuse my ignorance but what is this exactly? Does it pay very well

michelle I need inspiration for lunchboxes too:D

elysia I have sent OH to T - not sure if that was a good idea or not! I have told him he needs to get things scanned as not everything is reduced on the SEL. bet he comes back with nothing!

Keep meaning to say I put 11 of my craft stamps on ebay last week and 8 have got bids on so pleased with that. am hoping for a bidding war later. but then I start thinking they are not in perfect condition hope people don't think they have been ripped off!

pablo good luck for today

elysia the boys are fine - thanks for asking! they took blood from me and will send it off to be analysed to see if there is a gene mutation. if there is the rest of the family will be tested, and I have a big family!!

rufus my OH hates Ikea and we very rarely go. If we do it's for something specific!

Ooh I like being called an expert. It is a text based answering service, so people text in, I sit at the computer, logged into their database and either answer myself, or pass on to someone who is paid more than me.

I get paid 3p per Q, so I am not going to be a millionairre any time soon, but I am hoping that if I keep running it in the background while doing all my surveys and stuff like that, then I might actually get a good payout for my time investment. I started on the 3rd of this month, and have a balance of £63.

packed lunches
I am dealing with a little boy who likes lots of food. I was sending him in last week with a sandwich (2 slices of bread with filling, either cheese spread, cheese or some meat, with tomato or cucumber) then I tried to have a bit of something different every day last week, without spending a fortune.

I made up some jelly so he had that one day, one of those carrot and pineapple muffins I posted last week one day, I sent him with quiche one day, mince pie and grapes another day, and some carrot sticks and mini tomatoes that we had picked in the garden another day.

It is so hard to know what to send isn't it as they are supposed to be healthy. I was thinking of some banana bran muffins today to use up some bananas. It is hard to stay under the £1.90 a school meal costs yet fill them up. He comes home every day saying he is starving, so god help me this week as he is finally there till 3 every day. I'll not be feeling quite as ragged this week hopefully.

Any help? I might make some cheese straws or some twinks hobnobs too.

What do you guys put in? Might try pasta salad too this week to see if it fills him better. I wish I had his hollow legs as he is so skinny.

Hiya my almost 6 year old is very much the same.. eats and eats and eats and is never full but is so skinny. His usual pack lunch is

Sandwich two slices of granry/seeded bread filled with tuna mayo/egg mayo/ham and cheese

a small clipsafe tub of grapes
1 banana/apple/plum/satsuma
chunks of cheese and celery.
1 small biscuit
and a small pot of chicken and bacon pasta
plus juice

he is still starving after this!

OK Cornish - it's a deal. I'll do a review, if you do too.

Actually I should really do it anyway. OH (grump) decided T's three days in a row was too much, and has taken DD out (in the car and it's 15 miles there and 15 back so I'm not walking). I have time to do a review now, as eby stuff doesn't end for another few hours.

Stop waffling woman and get on with it!!!!

OK I will, see you later.

p.s. Hiya Skier - get that stuff found and listed. That's an order.!

emma hope your OH is OK

no bargains in T:(
