Hi Thistle, I'll be in touch

How's the pain now?

Tilly x

Getting better. Moving away from a dull aching throb towards a few stabs of pain every now and again - usually when I try to push myself too far. It's a fine line between activity that the physio says is helpful, and going too far. :cool:

Crikey, you lot have been busy rabbiting today

Hope everyone's has a good day.

NSD achieved.

Work has been mental - I only have one pair of hands, two ears and one mouth. No jokes you lot .....

Roast turkey was eaten as a roast dinner, not a pie and was just what we needed.

Mr T has been a busy bee all day - something to do with paintbrushes.

I'm off for an early night.

Morning, middle of the week already, the week certainly whizzes by.

Spending diary is up to date but we have slipped from doing it daily - only to every other day but still, we need to return to daily updates. Mr T reminded me this morning as I'm the one slipping

99p Tilly Tidy to MOS. Payday on Friday and there's money still in the bank and I moved Mr Ts penultimate DWP payment to MOS.

R@yal Mail training completed and moving into next phase. Hopefully this will enable me to stock pile stamps.

S&S have offered us another project and we've been accepted for it. This is the equivalent of another £10 every month (added to another one we do also). S&S and CP are definitely well worth doing.

Bargainous steak burgers, salad and potato wedges for dinner. Operation freezer use up is going well. By Friday I'll have a drawer free, allowing me to do another inventory and sort out/re-org. Operation bottle/jar use up from the fridge is taking forever though. Still loads to use up.

Greying recommended a cookery book, Jenny Chandler - Pulse - she also has a beautiful blog with good eye to detail. Thanks GP

We are at the point of car servicing to start and in a few months, insurances are due, MOT etc. It's at the back of my mind now, ready for opportunities to reduce cost, gain cash back etc.

Have a good day, soon be Friday :T

I've just been told they're over subscribed here and I'm being put on hold for a while, though I've been doing it for a few weeks . Hope you have better luck, I was planning on selling them on ebay :rotfl:.

I'm just coming to the end of my 6-month stint :T

I don't work in the same postal area as I live so it has been a bit inconvenient - not sure I'll bother again especially now they are introducing boxes...

I think their admin processes are pretty poor, we were trained, rested whilst training, then back on all within a two week period.

That sounds more difficult as the need to post within certain windows etc would be tricky. As I'm often WFH it's fairly straight forward and I can walk to the local post office with a hound

I agree. I posted form outside a PO as instructed and the box wasn't on their system :rotfl:. Took them ages to add.

Which ones are those? I have survey sites Valued 0pinion$, 1P0LL and Ip$0$ but I don't which ones are best...

Thanks,

Hi Cal, Shop and Scan and Consumer Pulse.

I think both are free to join. Pine Cone is another excellent one as they pay £3 per survey and have product trials occasionally too.

PC - you need to register interest - hopefully someone will be along to say where - or wait for PC to send invites to existing people, who can then forward.

Best wishes Tilly x
