  • Morning Brizzle, I don't do anywhere near the amount that some people do, so not sure I can recommend :o - however, I do One Poll, YouGov, often have Shop and Scan surveys. I find Consumer Pulse, weekly S&S for receipts and scans of items, reliable and consistent earners for the little effort required. Mr T used to do mystery dining as he was often out and about so could pick up a breakfast at an airport, or lunch after or before visiting a client.

    If you're having a night in front of the TV, you can plough through quite a few - may as well make TV viewing pay :)

    It's a glorious morning up here :T

  • Morning, soup base is cooked, just need to whizz it up and add milk :)

    Cake is almost ready to come out of the oven - can be iced later today :)

    Beef cheeks are in the slow cooker :)

    Fat removed from the stock in readiness for late lunch- early dinner :)

    My diary is becoming a food diary, not an MFW one - I promise the moment Mr T is working normal service will resume :)

    Just waiting for Mr T to leave the bathroom and then I can get ready :)

    I definitely prefer days when the sky is blue :)

    Don't apologise - it's lovely :T:T:T.

    And just to get you smiling again:

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Christmas movie channel starts next week. DD and I will be in heaven, not sure about the men folk. I'm sure it must be a reaction to all the spreadsheets and planning at work :rotfl:

  • Seven weeks until school breaks up for Christmas so it is definitely very close... Enjoy the build up!:j
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D
  • Evening SSS, I'm not sure where this year has gone, it's just flown by.

    Really looking forward to the Xmas break, although I'm planning on another couple of long weekends before then.

    Last Christmas with DD living at home so need to make it special.

    Best wishes, Tilly x

  • Morning, 21p TT to MOS.

    I can't remember whether I posted that next year's summer vacation is booked :).

    Dinner this evening is beef cheeks, mashed potatoes, carrots/peas. We had another guest for dinner (unexpectedly) yesterday so the greenery for today was used then - will have to manage with whatever greenery I can find for this evening :o

    A couple of events on the cards this week, plus evening calls on the same nights, so a little juggling will be required.

    That's all for now.

    Almost at payout on CP.

    Thanks for the ideas for surveys...and I love the food diary..I hadn't noticed there was less about MSE (-and think it is really) as it's all about frugality and enjoying what you have..

    Where is the summer vacation for tilly?
    I've booked us on a short family holiday next year. I like having something to look forward to and it's cheaper to book in advance!
