    Morning all :D

    Surveys

    Ipsos - 745 points (1380 needed for redeem), still waiting for my £10 payout :mad:
    Mysurvey - 470 points (550 needed for £5 redeem)
    Onepoll - £11.70 (£40 needed for payout)
    Valued Opinions - £3.50 with £2.50 pending (£10 needed for payout)
    Swagbucks - 711 (849 needed for payout)
    Toluna - 67609 (80,000 needed for redeem) It's like creeping death trying to get enough points to redeem...!

    In better news though.....I ordered my Kindle :D:D I got a £5 voucher through last night from Mysurvey which meant I only needed another £13 in vouchers, but Mr Fresian paid it for me :D:D:D

    I've had a really nice weekend which has mainly been filled with cardmaking (I really need to blog some of them but that's less fun than playing with glitter!) Myself and Mr Fresian also took Fred for a wee drive, although with Mr Fresian in the driving seat it was more of a wheeeeee drive! We ended up in Roslin, setting of the Da Vinci Code, and walked around the glen for a bit. We had a lovely afternoon but walking back up the hill reminded us how unfit we are!

    Anyway, off to work with me. I do enjoy Monday's when I've had less than five hours sleep.....

    Ooft. Plans to have nice long kip were ruined when Mr Fresian started snoring in the manner of a building collapsing at around half past five this morning. Have so far resisted all urges to commit violent acts, but only because I can't be bothered washing the bedclothes. Feel horrible and am spending the morning in the Office Of Backstabbing Cows instead of my usual one, so my joy knows no bounds. Bah.

    In better news, my Kindle has been dispatched :D I mentioned that it was free thanks to surveys on FB yesterday and two friends asked for info. They both signed up to Mysurvey yesterday so that's 200 points to me which brought me to the level needed to redeem, so there's £5 coming my way. Woo!

    I'm also having a lot of fun thinking about spending my overtime money. I was going to go to a crafting masterclass in Leeds, but it was £100+train costs+other spends so would have ended up costing me £300+ by the time all the spending was done, even with Intergalactic Floozie letting me stay with her :( I spoke to Mr Fresian about it last night and think that I'm going to change the Handbag Fund to the Crafting Class fund, and aim to go to their next one in the new year. That will give me something to look forward to and a goal to save for.

    As it is, my overtime will pay for a week Up North in October and for the Massive Craft Fair Of Joy in Glasgow, also in October and with a little money leftover, so there is a benefit to all the hours I've been working. Honest. *yawn*

    Speaking of which, I really should go to work....
  • FF,

    How are you doing with Maximiles?

    I am attempting to get 2 x £30 Amazon vouchers before Xmas - I am already up to 6707 but it has taken years to get there although in August I did collect 1500 points which is the most I have had for a month so SEptember I need to get more and hopefully cash out so I can spend Oct and Nov collecting the full 8400!!!

    I am nowhere near with them to be honest, I find that I have more luck with the full survey sites and SB than Maximiles, I use that site when I remember but don't make a major effort.
