No of course it didn't Bunbun. I'm worried about my reply now I didn't mean to sound like I was being funny about it.

I only meant I was trying to help you both, but could only find one.

ETA: It was this set http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.208-0515.aspx but only cost £1.40. I'll send it to whoever wants it.

Afternoon all

I have had the afternoon to myself. Oh has taken his Mum to pick up his Dad and take him home. She is staying with him for a while to help out (they dont live together) so we will have our front room back again, she has been sleeping on the sofa over night all week and all her clothes etc have been hanging around over the backs of chairs etc. I was going to go with them today but I had such a bad headache, I decided to stay home just in case it was something catching. Feel a bit better now, might just be where my eating etc has been all upside down, I am terrible if I don't eat at my normal meal times, plus I get tired easily too and this week has been pretty hectic.

I have added some new pages to my blog this afternoon including two tops I made myself and one about the aran cardigan I knitted for YD. She has a few presents now put away ready for Christmas. It is ED now I have to start looking out for. I have got her a basket which is quite big. She likes me doing her hampers but this basket is a lot bigger than the other ones I have done so will need more in it to fill it up. I have got a nice towel for the bottom and a few toiletries and a pack of fluffy slipper socks and that's about it at the moment until the make up bag comes from Artscow. I will have to keep a look out on the Grabbit board and see if there are any offers on there.

Hi everyone I am new to this thread

Have read first few posts but thats it, will try to catch up but will more than likely keep reading from here and hope I get the gist

I Just added up the money I have on my survey sites and I have almost £170 (includes vouchers and cash) woohoo :beer:

I am addicted to the grabbit board although my tesco never seems to have anything in (booo).

So yeah, hiya :wave:

Hiya Beki - you're doing fantastic. Woohoo indeed.

Yes, just jump straight in. You'll pick it up. Is there any new sites that we do and you haven't signed up to? Or any we don't and you do?

There is a new challenge starting tomorrow so you're just in time.

Rufus - sorry to hear you've not been feeling too well. It's funny how a change to your routine mucks up the whole week isn't it? I'm glad the dog didn't mind being put upstairs, that's a bit of a hassle as well isn't it? You must have been worrying over everything - no wonder you got a headache. I'll have a look at your blog in a mo - I can't wait to see what you've done. How did the reviews go this month? I managed five I think - still it's five more than none.

Forgot to say - well done Chick for beating your target. I think we'll have to have a race next month, who can get to fifteen first.

elysia don't be daft I didn't word my first reply very well:D what I meant was I will give legend first refusal. shall I just shut up now:rotfl:

I appreciate you looking and just wish I could find something - for me or anyone else!

Thanks for the welcome

The ones I use are:
Shopandscan panelbase.net :: UK Paid Surveys - Free Online Surveys ValuedOpinions .:: Ipsos Interactive Panels ::. KidzView.net - Home Lightspeed/mysurvey Savvy Circle - Home Though I think you guys probably already use them? I do food on the go as part of shop and scan as well. I have seen a few new ones on the first few posts that I am going to look into.
Looking forward to the challenge

So what should I be posting or not posting on here? thanks

Don't ebay it if neither of them want it hon. My Ds's still play with duplo and have some cars 1 duplo anyway, but only if those girls don't want it. We have the blue lightning mcqueen set with stage. I'd happily buy it off you. Great spot. No way they are worth full price. The prices nowadays shock me for a little toy.

I've been to Mr T today, and not found any bargains. My best buy was a little lotso bear from toy story driving in the yellow dumper truck. DS2 has been nagging me for ages he wants it, but I wasn't paying nearly £13 for it. Today it was a more reasonable £6.50. I got a set of lego mini figures for £2 for DS1 last time. It is a pain though as he is always with me, and he always spots what is in the trolley at some stage. I just hope he forgets.

I had to get a birthday pressie for my nephew next week, so I spotted some Dr Who lego, which he will absolutely love. I got extra to put some away for christmas for him. I'm glad I spotted something different for him, as he is a bit pampered and seems to have everything going.

Otherwise, not a lot diddling today.

Lots more dog stuff arrived - food, mat, chew toys food. We are pretty much good to go. We just want to build a little pen for outside for him to go do his business in rather than have free reign on the grass. I said to DH, although it will take time to build, it is less time than cleaning up after him wherever he fancies it, and miles better than it getting trodden in.

Only thing I have really done is a bit of WH bingo. I'm up to 339 gold. So close. Not bad to say I only joined in July, but it is on most of the day when I'm in. A lot of time for £10, but as i'd be on anyway, not that hard.

I have some surveys in the inbox, but i'll tackle in a bit. I'm being a lazy thing for tea too. I bought a pizza, and will do some oven chips and baked beans. It is far too hot for much else. I do feel like I have been melting today after 2 hours in T with DS2, and a walk to the bank.

Elysia it would be wonderful if I could buy that set off you as he has recently become more interested in things like Lego type due to school! I think Lego would be too small but the duplo sets are ideal. That's really great of you hun! I got some more moon dough today but nothing of use to you ladies!
Going on a Tesco mission tomorrow so will keep my eyes peeled!

Elysia, I am afraid the reviews went out the window this month, I think I did 7 altogether. I was hoping to do three times that lol. Looking forward to tomorrows challenge xx

elysia2003

Bunbun/Michelle - if I see any more, I'll be sure to pick them up for you.

Legend - can you pm me your address please? I need to go to the post office first thing tomorrow, so I can get it all packaged ready.

Rufus - 7 is good. Did you manage to redeem there, or are you not far off? It all mounts up in the end.

How did everyone do on Viva this evening? I managed one.
