I'm not sure that I haven't signed up for that before? Oh no, it was the mystery post if you know what I mean, where you test the postal service, but did not hear back from them as spaces are few and far btween. Will have a look at the forum later - thanks

I did the postal thing for a while, got fed up with having to go to the postbox at certain times of the days, etc. so gave it up.

I did join a Royal Mail consumer forum but had trouble logging in and they never replied to my emails so gave up on it. Just spotted this while looking for the new rates, think it is the same thing but the website is much better.

Glad you are prettying your house up - dreading decluttering our bungalow - there is sooooo much lying about, piled up in every room :eek:

I still have stuff to sell on ebay/netmums,etc stored upstairs in our spare room and hidden in our larder cupboard.

But I always remember the saying, you can't eat an elephant in one go, you have to eat it in bite size chunks.

That is what I am doing with the decluttering, bite size chunks. A little bit here and there. ie recycle all paper that is not needed, junk mail, envelopes, etc. Then put in a box everything else that needs to be sorted out, and I will go through the boxes bit by bit.

I've been catching up on my T0luna surveys and going on their site to do polls and extra surveys - on about 30,000 at the moment so going to check how long it takes to get to the 80,000 for my voucher - I used it reckon about 2-3 months previously, so about £60 to £90 in a year :j Good to do these while watching the cricket at the moment

I've also done a few clicks and other bits for cashback and checking on my totals on those sites - I know I have a £130 cashback due this month from an insurance application, so hope that pays out

Good planning Aureol - as with anything, the whole thing is too big to do, but is much easier in small bits

Right, I'm off for a browse around the forums - back later :beer:

3Dogs

Well I have spent the night browsing the forums and doing surveys, etc while watching day 2 of the cricket on Sky - so I am off to bed now and will be online later this afternoon

Hope everyone has a good day today - though it is back to work for some of you

Gosh the cricket must be fantastic!!! Up all night AGAIN! Crumbs. Hope we are winning. Glad Aureol was here to keep you company too. She is a wise owl.

Up at last after breakfast in bed - we have to go out now to pick up something from Tesco Direct at Peterborough which is our nearest pick up point :mad: It is Kettlenetics exerciser which is part of Mr 3Dogs Chirstmas pressie from my Mam

Doing some shopping when over here so will be on when we get back

Hope Kit got on OK with the planning Officers I haven't heard yet
