Errrmmmm let me think. My guess would be NONE. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I'm glad you got back in the house safely.

Savvy - how are you feeling hun?

Michelle - was it busy at the shops? I need to pick up a few things in Birmingham in the next few weeks. I never go there during December.

Our tickets have come for the Festive Gift Fair at the N.E.C. next month. I go with my mum and sisters, now I know Christmas is around the corner.

Shops were not too bad, apart from poundland which was absolutely heaving. I did arrive at 10am when it opened though. I think I will get all shopping done the same way over the next few weeks, and get anything else ordered so i can be in waiting for deliveries during half term week.

Just got a £15 bonus for answering most questions on Cha on Saturday. Balance there is at £238, so my aim is £250 from them, which is paid on Thursday. I have really put the time in though for that, so it is likely to be my best ever month.:o

Hiya everyone

Sounds like everyone's been very busy making lots of money - well done!!

I was busy listing on e-bay all day yesterday, listed 49 items! Fingers crossed I make a few sales, already got 3 items being bid on and as I find that most people bid on the last day, I'm happy with that. Todays been ok, redeemed on s&s today, so got a £10 Argos voucher on it's way to me. Not been on the surveys yet as had a lay in this morning thanks to hubby and then had my mum round for the afternoon. Right, off to browse the other boards and have a go at some surveys.

Well done on your redeem DJ - while I'm on the subject of S&S, Did anyone else get an invitation to webview? It's £2.50 for signing up, £2.50 next month, and 50p pm after that. I don't like to have things like that on my comp - do you reckon it's safe?

I've had webview on for ages with no problems. It must have been on a year or more, and my computer runs fine and i never even know its there. The new vista one is the more intrusive one I find. It used to make my computer crash a lot.

Thanks so much Michelle. I've always been asked to join these things but I never have. I'll go download it now. Thanks again x

Thanks for the tips on chow Elysia, will format mine later once I have looked at the days surveys and copy one over. I'm feeling better today, my throat isn't sore anymore, just a chesty cough now which is much more bareable, the long lay in made the world of difference today.

I wouldn't download it personally, it's not information I want people to know about me and it would be worth alot more than £2.50 to me. The thing is in the wrong hands that information would be priceless to a criminal and with the amount of sites that have data leaks I wouldn't risk it personally. I probably would install it on my old netbook I never use though lol.

Off to do my hair and borrow Legends idea to search for ideas for Christmas decorations to make for the tree and a wreath for the door as we didn't stock up on thse during the sales. Home made ones are much nicer anyway aren't they lol

~True - but you get paid every month for it, and entered into a prize draw, and they already no so much about you. It's only looking at what sites you go on, so net useage rather than passwords and content.

Everyone has to do what they are comfy with, and it doesn't bother me that much them knowing what they are doing. It is no different to me than Mr T or boots.

elysia2003

Thanks for your opinion Savvy - not sure what to do now. :cool: I have downloaded it, but I can disable the add on.

I agree - homemade decorations are so much better than shop bought, and ones the kids have helped you make are absolutely priceless. I only tend to buy one or two new ones a year, and so every one has a special memory attached to it. :A

Cross posted with you Michelle - thanks for your input. I'll have another think about it. I see what you're saying though. These surveys we fill in, don't half ask some sensitive questions sometimes and we do that quite happily.
