    Just to be different from GG :) I shall today use numbers to see how high up I can get:



    1 Washed 2 loads on a 30 wash and then pegged out
    2 Tol – I swear the survey I did this morning was an hour long!
    3 Did my 10p clicks on TCB
    4 Kept heating off even though it was freezing when I got in bed last night. Warmed up the MSE way and put my cold feet on DH. Managed to keep it off today too.
    5 Ate the crust of bread that everyone leaves!! Why is this one my job?!
    6 Kept checking this thread, tolooooona, one poll and Ebay!!
    7 Made my first HM birthday cake for Ds4’s birthday tomorrow, normally I buy so saved about £7 there...and it looks good for a first attempt. Applause please ! :T
    8 Used one of my funky chicken free cards for his birthday
    9 Claimed 80p from TCB which I added to ISA
    10 Got £17.25 from music magpie confirmed – put it in ISA
    11 NSD - apart from MOT being done but IME that doesn't count !
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore

    Its just above where you type in your reply under the text font/size options.

    It's not felt too hard today to earn, although i have to say i have not been at the computer as much as normal as i went in the garden with the kids and had a hanging over the fence session with my nextdoor neighbour.
    • 50p YG survey done
    • £1.50 survey network done
    • £1 - VO survey done
    • fat cake ordered from yorks water - basically bird seed and a cup, and i add the fat rather than put down the drain. We don't do that anyway, but i thought the freebie sounded good. :D
    • wrote two DY reviews, so need to earn about another 30p tonight from rates to be on target there
    • made a beef curry and my own naan bread really cheap. Sauce was an 8p job from Mr T, beef strips were cheap from frozen food place up the road, and the naan bread mix was from app food and provided a perfect topic to review this evening.
    • I've also updated the spending spreadsheet, and we are a shocking £73 over on the food budget this month with another week to go.:eek: So damage limitation needs doing. I will get to the weekend, and then new purchases will have to be Aprils budget.
    • Tol opinion poll done, and got 28 comments on it, so i have been awarded 500 points for that.
    And the night is still young. :rotfl:although, OP has been a nightmare, and i earned nothing and looks like my referral from yesterday has not been added. Boooooooo!

    LOL @ Curlygirl's MPG OCD:rotfl:I am becoming like this to the annoyance of many drivers who end up behind me!!!

    In the past couple of days.....

    - Claimed free mug from Mcvities VIP rewards - I'm addicted to Jaffa Cakes and I may as well get something back for my addiction!

    - Didn't fill up the car this morning - will do it tomorrow morning and save 1p a litre (but will probably find that the oil companies have put their prices up instead!).

    - Did a 100 point Myvoice survey

    - Went to work

    - Found 1p at work and 1p in the street and picked both up and popped in the mortgage pig (I am being inspired by you guys:)!)

    - Got some free Vitamin D on the way home as left work quite early whilst the sun was still shining!

    OMG you are such a hard-core MFW!!

    I actually put this down to being pregnant - under normally circumstances I don't think I would manage to eat mushy peas on toast for brekky lol.


    I don't want to speak too soon or too loudly...but I think ONEPOLL is back to its uber speedy self. :T
