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.
- 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.

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. :T0
