knithappens

morning all, lots of great news on here which has brightened my morning, mumtoone hope you manage to keep it all secret, cant wait to find out how it all goes.

Ipsos have been good to me, got my £15 Amvoucher yesterday for downloading the software and another survey if done gives me £35 in high street vouchers, which i can really do with for xmas. I have £25 in my Am account, did have £40 but spent £15 on some food bargains on there.

Will hopefully get wuite abit done today as i have my eldests year 11 parents evening and my sons year 4 halloween disco tonight, going to be lots of rushing around to get it all done, then i have to clear my bed room as havign my boiler boxed inon friday, only took me 6 years lol It woudl nto be so bad but i have the xmas pressies hidden in all sorts of nooks and crannies and now have to find new places to hide them until the work is done - wish me luck

Rufus - it only has to be helpful but you could edit it to make it sound a bit better if you wanted. I'll be over later to rate your newest ones. You will get to £10, I'm sure.

Mum2three - You'll get there. You joined later than most, just imagine how organised you're going to be next year.

I just checked my spreadsheet Elysia and C has gone up by about 40p, so I did get paid for it after all lol. I am busy today so might get one done today but not sure I will find time. Only things that are near to redeem on there are the two review sites. I am waiting for a £10 payment from PB still, its a BACS payment but dont know how quick they are on there paying.

I have £65 in my Amazon account. I have already bought all OH's dvds he wants although still waiting for three of them to come. I have to put £45 towards YD's phone for Christmas and that leaves me £20 for Dad's present so that's all sorted. I will still get Am vouchers though as they will start me off for next year for birthdays.

ETA I lied about not being near redeem lol, just realised I had enough on Max to get a £10 Sainsbury voucher. I will be able to buy the rest of the food for Son's Thai hamper with this when it comes. Says should be here within 14 days so fingers crossed.

Well done Rufus - that's great news. PB have come quickly for me. When did you redeem?

In fairness - I can redeem on a few sites, but I'm waiting for them to mount up a bit. It's risky when what happened on Ips and I lost over £20, but I need to do it otherwise I would dip into it and it would be gone anyway. I was saving my Chow money for my passport, but OH is buying me that for Christmas (oh how romantic - not!)

I really only need to get Mum's Christmas now. I had a trial of that Chocolate tasting club, with the £7 cashback (so free) last month, but I forgot to cancel it in time before the next box got sent (£19 each) - so they can be SD's birthday present.

The living Soc voucher redeem is easy - You type the code in the box before you put in what shop you want to go to. I bought some little butterfly cake toppers from ebay £1.25.

I redeemed on the 14th for PB so hopefully wont be long now. I just redeemed on TCB as well, I have been waiting for the money to be payable since end of last month. Nearly £40 on there. Decided to have the cash as I would like to be able to give OH the money for YD's phone instead of using my vouchers then he can buy it where he likes and might get a better deal.

Afternoon everyone.

Busy morning helping out in school today, and since I got home I got an email with £30 am voucher from DY, so I just got a present ordered for my niece and one for DS2. Slowly getting there.

Just noticed an email from WH bingo. You can now only get a £20 am voucher from them, when it was a £10 one. It is starting to get quite hard there, not that it wasn't before.

I am so glad the school breaks up for half term today. I am ready for it definitely.

afternoon everyone

everyone seems to be doing really well

i need just a few here and there to take me to redeem level
but don't seem to be finding many this week

off into town tomorrow to get ds birthday presents
i have reserved a scooter and 2 boxes of lego from argos
but he has tons and tons of lego ,but there's nothing else i can think off
arrghhh, i'm sure he will be pleased but i think it will just end up in a box mixed with loads of other lego or all over the floor for me to stand on !!

and hopefully pick up a few christmas presents too
i want that lovely biscuit tin in m+s
have just over £40 of vouchers so a little help

Hi all, been very unproductive day today. I have been to the post office, to town to pick up a Boots order and to M&S to buy the musical cookie jar (Chel it's lovely but the offer is only for one week so don't leave it too late) I used a refund voucher which initially was going towards our M&S christmas meal but I'm going to be ordering online in bits and pieces to get five pound vouchers back so my refund voucher is for all the other snack and drink bits

I need to order the pics from our photoshoot, do car tax, send out more parcels, clear a space in the cupboard for Christmas food and catch up with paperwork. I need to sort out everyones Christmas presents as it's all over the place and getting in the way in the bedroom.

Haven't done any money making today yet, will try to find some surveys but dd hasn't left me alon so this is the first time I have been allowed near the computer lol.

Hope your all doing well xx

Afternoon all

I got to the post office and picked up a parcel, went with ED and then popped to see her Nan for a bit, only just got home. I had some surveys in my inbox but didn't qualify for any of them.

OH texted me earlier to see how much it cost, it cost him 50p to send it, I sent one back and mine was free.
