    :D Well done Gally!


    My MFW thing today...just noticed my foundation is very low. Decided that my skin isn't looking too bad so not using it today and will continue that. Costs £28.50 per bottle, typically lasts 6 months so not too bad, but as it's my birthday quite soon....I know what I'll be asking for for a present :D Save me buying my own! tightfisted.com! :D

    few online surveys, swagbucks, packed lunches, mobile charging, £20 free dwell voucher, maximiles surveys done and videos watched, found new site called inboxpounds which is similar to swagbucks and maximiles (tasks, videos, points for reading emails, offers).

    If anyone isn't on maximiles (which is great because of low redemptions - i get £10 grocery vouchers for 3000 points - 5 points per email clicked through to, 5 points per video rated, 5 points per poll and the odd survey completed) and inbox pounds and interested in signing up - please PM me so I get referral bonus too :)

    free box of cereal from co-op for being on their taste panel too! :) that should last me a week! :)

    Oh let me know who tries it first.. i think we'll have it next week sometime..

    Had the gumbo for lunch today - OH was not that impressed! I liked it but would put twice as many spices in as the recipe said, it was not a punchy as I would have liked, and perhaps a bit more stock. Won't stop me eating the two portions that are now in the freezer though - must remember to add them to the freezer list.

    AG :p

    Oh what a shame.....presumably you can add more spice to it though when you come to reheat? I've just had another look at the recipe - don't know if this is completely bonkers but I kind of fancy it with chunks of fish in it........I have gone a bit fish mad lately though

    Nothing much MSE for me
    *Charged phone
    *going away for weekend so have made sure this week that my meals involved emptying the fridge - I've eaten a lot of limp celery this week!

    Limp celery sounds delicious (not!) :D Have a nice weekend curly.

    Going to charge my phone & iPad at work, save us some electricity!

    26440/50000 points needed on Dooyoo....seems so far off, I'm tempted to get amazon vouchers instead of waiting for the cash payout. But I can't pay the mortgage off with amazon vouchers!!!

    Total on Ciao is £10.99 (definitely prefer the 50p bonuses compared to the current 25p bonuses but every little helps).

    Going to go and force myself to write a review even though I'm not feeling all that motivated!

    dipashah - i find maximiles slow to collect points on - i don't get the surveys/emails at all even though it says i'm subscribed to them:mad: once i get to my 3000 (only earnt because i used to use it through mysupermarket) then i'm cancelling it...

    Thanks for the heads up on the Gumbo AG... i mentioned it to OH and he's quite excited to try it..
