    Well I am going to start adjusting some of the little ones trousers so that's it for my money making today, I have managed, ips 0.07, T 0.08, OP 0.45, VO 0.75, Chow 0.87, DY 1.16 so total is 3.38 total to date £26.93. Getting fed up with SN as it lets me get ten mins into a survey and then decides I don't qualify I am only up to £4.66 on there so I am tempted to just leave it as it takes too much time for nothing.

    Not been on here for ages.

    Bad day to a lorry scrapped all the side of my car and ripped off my wing mirror - my insurance company are saying that I could be found 50% liable and might have to pay excess and lose no claims - full details here - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3528153

    So upset as that is money I really cannot afford to lose :(

    On another note got my first Dooyoo crown recently so it's not all bad.

    Well done on the crown Kirsty. Did you do a dance around the room? I did when I got my first one. :)

    Sorry to hear about your car. Without have read about the details, why would they say it's your fault? :(

    Giggles - resurrect your blog and post them on there. I can't wait to look. Did you see the GB bake off? I think the winner did an amazing job today.

    Emma I'm with you on SN - I haven't qualified for a survey for months. I have over £8 there though. I keep trying in the hope I can reach redeem some point this year. I might give it up as a bad job. We need to prioritise. :)

    Savvy - £150 for an outfit for DD. I've never spent that much on an outfit for myself. To tell the truth, I probably get that much spent on my clothes per year. Everyone else comes first, and I'm bottom of the list. :(

    Michelle - you're quiet - I hope puppy and kids are behaving themselves. :)

    There was something I came on to post about, and I've forgotten now. Ooh I know, Legend, Tissue have paid. I hope you got your money this month.

    Thanks I was pretty chuffed tbh

    They say it is unlikely that it will go 50/50 but there is a chance. With the lorry being owned by a business I am sure they are used to dealing with claims and will do all they can to get out of accepting liability :(

    Evening.

    Just busy today Elysia.

    I went to the gym this morning with a friend on a guest pass. Got back about midday, dealt with DS2 who is really full of cold and being a pain, been trying to do some Cha and some reviewing, and the question speed has picked up which is good, but means I am not managing much time elsewhere.

    Got a crown today on DY, so now have 18. I also got paid for my panel ($15 which converted to £9.49) and had about £9 in bonuses on Cha, so my balance is heading to £135. That will be a great payout when it arrives. Most other stuff is not getting done, but I think that might be ok as this is better pay overall, and I'll add other stuff as I can.

    I'm seriously considering a gym membership out of my earnings, as I had such a good time this morning and I have had more energy to get stuff done this afternoon/evening. I know exercise is something sadly lacking in life at the moment, and I am suffering for it.

    Puppy is doing ok. We managed toiletting outside just now, which I have been aiming for all day, and he is slowly coming round to the idea. It's like having a baby again.

    Morning All

    Thanks Elysia

    I had a good day at work but I was shattered last night and went to bed not long after the kids!

    I've done the quick polls on T this morning but that's it. I'll hopefully have more time tonight to do some surveys and stuff.

    Catch you all later

    Had five surveys in my inbox this morning, only managed one YG one, think it was for 50 points which I think is 50p? Nothing else to do so far so I might try a review later on. I was going to spend the morning sewing but OH got called into work last night instead of this morning so means he will be home soon for bed so I wont be able to have the machine on.

    I am meeting my friend later on for a natter, not going up the town with her so will save some money as I usually buy something while up there.

    Morning Legend

    I have some money outstanding on TCB too that I was hoping would be ready to cash out by now. It said the expected date was 30/9 but gone past that now.

    I just did a review on DY, was a 300 point one so think thats about 30p earned today. I will get some rating done and see if that can build it up a bit more.
