Well I think I have done enough for today, getting quite close on a couple sb - 503, maxi 2266, ips 1090 with a 250 second part coming tomorrow and £9.25 on vo. Not getting very far on T on 56000 with 5 to credit but I never do the really long ones so always lower points values.

We have now decided we are not going to haven anymore we are gonna go a fortnight later and go to Butlins I am now really excited and we won't be able to back out as I am booking my hols tomorrow and then booking the holiday as there is extra off it until the 17th.

Aarons mummy - thanks for the info! Do u do any particular ones or are they all a bit tedious??!!
Elysia - Glad to hear the Kindle is easy! I read some reviews on Amazon where people said it didn't work with their wi-fi?? So trying to check this out before I buy... trouble is I have no idea what I'm on about really!
Gonna have an early one, 4hrs sleep after my night shift has left me shattered, so no money making for me

Elysia I cashed out 73.07! Woohoo! Had my eye test today and last night broke my glasses so can now get a new pair seeing as I am going blinder!

hi all just checkin in.
thanks for all the motivation - i feel part of a group on a mission. Think i've done my clicks - i stick to reviews at weekend otherwise it might cause me to go over the edge.
hawaii 5 has just finished, and i've found some csi i must have recorded. so will be able to do my normal tidy up rountine when adverts one. LOL
i've not decided about my gym membership yet, i'll try and keep this short. Sis bought me a 12 day gym pass at xmas which runs out on sat. I made my new year resolution to lose weight, get more postive and get my finance in order and as it's my fortieth this year thought it quite apt as a gift to myself. Anyway, the gym is on way home and i've been doing twenty lengths and a few minutes in spa. The place is lovely. However it will be £25 ish a month. If i go to local pool its 4 a time but i could not just swing by after work for half an hour like this one. It also does not eat into time with girls including their clubs and as a single mum i don't like them missing out. Decisions decisions.

Hi, all ive just signed up to toluna and is there a better way of getting points than doing the 15point polls, Ive had to restart my laptop 3 times too as it keeps freezing on there.

they do send you surveys to do as well. I also think someone said that if you write an opinion of a certain amount of words you get some points as well.

I don't have a sewing machine so my mum said she'd buy me a cheapish one
Can anyone recommend one? Or tell me which one I should go for out of these few?

Brother LS2125 - £79
Toyota Super Jeans - £149
John Lewis JL110SE - £99

hi Hayley, I have 5 sewing machines (don't ask why lol) and the best one that has done really well at lasting a busy sewing life is my Janome.

I would suggest a Janome as they are easily fitted with new parts and all the universal feet and attachments will fit on them.

I found the Janome 2050 is a decent price of about £90.
If you still can't decide, look up "Sewing Machine retailers" in your area and go and test some out.

hope that helps you xx

Hi All,

Bevally - I used party delights for ordering party stuff. It hasn't yet arrived but should in the next day or so, I'll let you know. I also ordered some part cake toppers from ebay, just the rice cake ones for on top of cupcakes. Not expensive to do and great if you are going for a theme.

Have cashed out on NV - yeah! Managed to do £5.50 on there tonight.

Have a VO to do in a mo too so fingers crossed as that will take me over teh threshold too.

Anyone want to refer me to superpoints?

Managed to get all party bag things today in town. My son is having a sonic themed party! And loe and behold I found sonic collectors sticker books each with ten packs of stickers in poundland, what a stroke of luck! I have bought two packs and each child can have a couple of sonic stickers. Also going to make sonic bookmarks, my sister has a laminatr and ssaid she would laminate for me. My little girl is having pepa pig theme and managed to get a set of 3 bracelets and a ring, reduced to 1.50 but also on 3 for 2, so £3 for 9 bracelets and 3 rings. Got a few bits that I had collected way back in sales for party bags, some little books and pencils with rubbers and also have some freddo frogs, maoams and flumps. Just got to put them all together now! Birthday cakes we are decorating a bought plain choc cake with peppa pig and icing as grass and using my daughters characters, as peppa and friends like to jump in muddy puddles. My sons is going to be a bit more difficult as we are going to attempt from scratch a two tier sonic/mario cake! We'll see how that one goes! I might just be caling on one of my dear cake making friends to help me out a big hole! LOL!

Oh nearly forgot - Nicky - Oliver looks grogeous, I hope he is allowing you to get plenty of rest. xx

have a good evening everyone (or night)
