    I have £65 in Amaz*n vouchers thanks to clicking away,often late at night, on survey sites. I am sure if I had been even more dedicated or indeed the 'demographic' they are looking for, I would have had even more - my job, salary, qualifications, reading habits, lack of electronic gadgets or children of a certain age who play with them, location,car ownership and non eater ( well not in the quantities that they would like) of fast/convenience food seems to exclude me from a lot of surveys.....................:mad: although I am now getting a good idea of what some surveys are looking for;) Anyway vouchers are coming in handy for Christmas order about to be placed. Also I am 2000 points off You G*v magic 5000....so that is something to look forward to next year I reckon:rotfl:

    All very very busy..........work and domestic front. Frogs are stacking up at the door way ready for January and home just a little frenetic but should all die down by Wednesday of next week ;)

    So far in the Christmas frenzy stakes I have attended....3 concerts,2 carol services,1 staff night out,1 meal out with friends,1 mince pie get together (with those who couldnt make meal out) and 1 panto............. Just 1 carol service ( lit with 1000 candles!) 1 more meal out with friends ( ladies only) 1 book club Christmas Literary quiz night ( more mince pies) 1 concert ( work related and followed by a take away!) yet another panto and a mince pie get together that involves a hot tub, to go:D I am looking out for that partridge in a pear tree...................

    Money wise its steady as she goes - not spending too much but not looking forward to an early pay day and 6 weeks to wait until the next:eek: going to add up what I have paid off the debt in the last month an get my crayons out;)

    Just reading that list is exhausting - Igamogam, hope you're enjoying being such a party animal! :D

    ps. Eagerly awaiting your report on the hot-tub/panto/mince-pie party! ;)

    I am really envious of the hot tub (especially with a plastic glass full of something alcoholic!). I used to go to a hotel in North Wales a couple of times a year with hot tubs & extremely nice food. Even went at the end of November one year (it wasn't actually snowing) and it was still great. I would love a house with a garden private and large enough for my own hot tub. I'll just wait for the lottery win then.

    Despite, for the last 25 years, my salary being paid early 'for Christmas'. I still cant get use to it........its just to make life easier for the payroll bods not an altruistic gesture on behalf of the LA. If it was, they would realise its now 6 weeks to pay day and those last 2 are a killer seeing me rob Peter to pay Paul even though I sloosh away into deposit account enough to cover the bills up to next pay day:eek:
