    Oh, I am sure you can :D!!....next time try the "I'm sure I gave it to you yesterday...don't you remember?" routine!! :rotfl:

    Today I have:
    1. onepoll had about 6 surveys for me today bringing my total up to £20.20, just over the half way mark
    2. Toluna 2 x 2400 points surveys
    3. screened out of VO - just for a change :(
    4. popped into Mr Ts and just happened to pass by the reduced chilled area...getting to be a bit of an obsession of mine! Anyway, managed to pick up a couple of half price jalfrezis which I have stuck in the freezer for another day
    5. home made curry for us all tonight YUM
    6. the best bit of all....pay day today :T

    Hiya guys

    Had a long weekend here... Monday was expensive as we went clothes shopping for our holidays.. Sat & Sun we low spending days though as me and the kids went to the park and a birthday party.
    Off to work today
    So far I've sat and entered comps - 130 entered at the mo that are waiting to close!
    Packed OH off to work with HM Lasagne
    Checked on Surveys...none to do
    booked parking off site from the airport...$105 for 17 days, half price compared to airport parking.

    hmmm thats about it, going to see if OH has been paid but no extra OP's until after the holiday..its our first 'proper' holiday in about 5 years so I'm going to bloomin well enjoy myself and not worry about the cash side...too much!

  • I DIDN'T buy Burger King after leaving the cocktail bar tonight. It was a struggle and I'm still regretting it! It was the cost of the fries that stopped me...

    Not much from me today...dull life that I lead!

    - Went to work

    - Paid £30 for years car road tax (bought a new economical car last year - its not the burden that it used to be when it was £150+)

    - Used Tesco clubcard+ card to buy parents shopping = free points for me!:T

    - Texted through 2 snacks to Shopandscan (and gained points which equates to the cost of them!)

    Can't remember what i have posted where today. I think i said here i reached payout on Op. Can't wait for that £40 to hit my account.

    sent DH to work
    • op - 90p today, so at 65p now.
    • VO - a 75p survey, noticed that is at £9, can claim at £10 and i have a couple of quid to validate.
    • mysurvey - tried to do 2 x surveys, screened out but got 10 points.
    • ips0s - 175 points on the 2nd part of a survey, and i have been accepted to do the next part of the survey where i will get a £10 amazon voucher. :D So easy. Can't wait to get on with that.
    • won a hat trick on free bingo - should have enough there to payout tomorrow.
    • made bread buns and scones from app food bags of mix - very nice. DH thought i had made from scratch. ;)
    • dinner was from the stores.
    • got sausages out of freezer for tomorrow. Left them to defrost in fridge overnight to reduce energy costs in fridge. (Must only be a fraction of a pence, but in the spirit of it all helping.) :rotfl:
