Cornish, when I am searching on there I find that obscure things seem to get points so every now and then I put in something rubbish and I seem to get more points that way than searching normal things. The other day I had searched something or other, cant remember what it was, then I went to search again 10 mins later, and typed the new word in the search box and it didnt delete what was in there already so the new word came up inside the old word if you get me, was complete gobbledy gook and I got 10 points for it lol. Sometimes I just type in something someone has said on the tele or something OH says, it seems to be completely random.

I can relate to you not getting your sleep, I have had a week of it with OH and his snoring keeping me awake. He went to the doctors before Christmas and had an appointment at the hospital last week but cancelled it on the day, said it was a waste of time and he had better things to do.

I'm at about 820 on SB so should redeem today. Does anyone have any tips on the searching on there? I know its random but I haven't got any bucks for days yet I'm searching loads!

Sometimes when I search on SB, I do backspace after the search to get to my SB page and get points for my search that way! Does not work every time, but seems as random as doing the search itself . Don't forget to do the Daily Poll and NOSO every day, it all adds up.

Tghis may be a daft question but why does he bring you food items?? chocs or flowers I could understand lol!!

I have done loads of rating this morning, had a vista survey for £2 so up to £7.50 on there long way off I know but only started at the end of november. Have had sb tv running most the day and have nearly done all my sp spins, up to 801 on there now.

Have finally written 2 reviews, I have enough surveys for the week to copy over but most are only 100 point ones, my Mam is going to a bead show on her borthday at the beginning of March so would like to be able to give her some cash to spend whilst there as i know that is what she will want so will have to really push at reviewing.

Question for you all - last night i put a suggestion in on dy for a 6 pack of peppa pig jigsaws, I gave them the link to the correct product but they have emailed today saying my suggestion is on and it is the 9 pack of jigsaws not the 6, should I email them or just post my review and hope noone realises??

Hope everyone is having a good day, off to do school run and take little ones to the library xx

hi emma

i guess it does sound strange my fella bringing me food lol. but he does it because he knows that i am living frugal and only buy what is necessary. i cant really afford to buy meat so thats why he bought me beef last week and sausages and a chicken today. but he also bought the other things to go with them as he knows i bulk cook. so last week he bought me potatoes and mixed veg lol and so he knew that i would still have enough potatoes left to make a chicken casserole and enough to freeze, and a few dinners and probably a curry as well lol. i will also boil the carcass for stock. the sausages have now been wrapped per meal and frozen. so out of what he brought me this week and last week i have got at least 16 meals. not bad for 2 dates bless him.

i've never known this thread to be soooooooo quiet, where's everyone hiding??? lol

19 survey emails, and i've gone thro them all today, didnt qualify for any, screened out of all of them.
hit the 400 mark on sb today, got 10b for a search, first time ever.
loving the rtv, just about up to redeem already, not sure how to tho.
only 256 on sp, long way to go yet.
not happy with viva, my points have expired.

my back is alot better now, had lots of rest, hoping i'll be ok to go and get some shopping in, i've not been in town at all this year so far. could do with an iceland shop, then i dont have to carry it home, and its cheaper than asda lol.

hoping everyone is ok out there, welcome any newbies,
