You should still get the £1 hun, it comes up with the prize draw every time for me but I still get the £1.

Shattered this morning, been up countless times with Erin being sick. It was Jack Friday and now her so a couple of days off school.

Morning all,

Electric is about to go off as havent charged the key up, and gas is so low I daren't put the fire on until that's topped up as well. It will all have to wait until OH gets himself up as he has the money for it.

I suggested another product on C this morning, so when its accepted that makes it 7/20 done for Feb's challenge. I have two of them to go on DY but the products are not on there yet and can't suggest them this month which is a pain so made a folder on the laptop to keep them in until they do that category again. Might see if I can find anything else to review while I am in the mood and save them for another day. Will have to go out later on to top up the gas and electric and to get some shopping.

morning all

i have been up all night again, on my 3rd week of bad sleep pattern.

hope everyone is ok today and get the heating problems sorted.

as my sleep pattern is backwards at the moment, your breakfast is my dinner lol. if you can get that.

so i have just had dinner (breakfast). didnt know what to have but was well impressed with what i concocted. had a rummage in the freezer and cupboards and found...

beef (cooked a few wks ago and frozen, it was bought for me so free)
stir fry mix (again frozen from fresh)
blue dragon hot shots, sweet chilli and garlic (free)
naan bread

so to go with that i made a simple egg fried rice and omg it was yummy lol. made enough for another meal as well, so thats dinner done for tomorrow. now sitting here and im thinking i want something sweet, so have just remembered i have an aunt bessies custard (free) in cupboard, and half a banana left from sat that my dd didnt want. so there is my desert lol. what a frugal meal.

Do any of you still do the McCains thing? The last two weeks my points for the games havent been added on so wondering whether its worth the bother doing it.

Thank you Karonher for the Shop&Scan reminder last night. Had trouble transmitting, so took 15 mins to sort out, but would have forgotten completely without your reminder .

Just to remind folks doing SuperPoints to complete your Profile upto 100%, this all helps with the points earning. Part of that is adding a picture, I found a JPG format works well - and it does not have to be you . If anyone wants to join please ask for a referral, it all adds to our points .

I managed not to verify my latest SwagBucks redeem as the email had ended up in my Spam folder! But the points just get refunded, so nothing lost and I have redeemed again and this time made sure I verified straight away. Just keep clicking on those vids!

Lots of slush here in Bucks today left from the snow, what a mess. School closure website managed to crash this morning, I guess it could not cope with all the traffic

Hope you all manage to stay warm today where ever you are and make some more money, good luck!!

mum2three and stepmum, ahhhthankyou for that, i didnt know, i'll keep an eye out on that then lol

i dont know whats up with me lately, just losing my mojo i think, whenever something seams to be going right, it goes wrong, i've just got a black cloud following me :cool: lol

i've had an appointment booked at the doctors for my bad back for two weeks, (takes that long to see the doc) and i was late! (could hardly walk, buses and traffic) and they wouldnt let me see doc, so they booked another appointment, thats another two weeks wait now, 13th feb my new appointment, i know it was my own fault but i got soo upset.

one of the sites we're on (sp), i've messed up big time. i didnt read the rules properly, so i may loose the points and have my account closed down, (brings back memories of bp), i am so close to my first redeem on there too. bascially the rules are that you cant add another account of the same address to gain the points. so me adding my OH is breaking the rules and i dont know how to get him off now. i didnt add him to break the rules i added him so he could earn his own amazon instead of knicking mine. oh yes he is very ecouraging for me to earn the amazon vouchers, he's already got a wishlist waiting! :eek:

ok ok thats Milla's Monday Morning Moan over with now

£10 amazon voucher came through this morning from mysurvey.
Actually winning a few stars on woohoo today after several days of not winning anything. Got a few points on sp now need to do sb.
Was meant to be in London today but didn't want to risk getting stranded in the ice and snow, so that's been put back. At least I can keep the money in my account a bit longer. Had a small job come through too, so that will earn me about £8!

This morning I am mainly rating and doing sb and sp, got to go into work early today got 3 hours training before my shift so I am there 1-10 today and then back at 8 in the morning not looking forward to that!! Have a review ready to post for today so will be 7/30 once i have put that on and I think I might try and write one ready for tomorrow.

Hoping to get my little ladies photos done on saturday so must keep making the money lol!!

Hope the weather isn't too bad for you all, we had ice this morning and the sun is blazing now so guessing it is gonna be an icy drive home tonight by the time the slush all freezes!

Milla, what a nuisance with the doctors, it makes my blood boil when they do that. Its ok for them to keep us waiting for hours but if we are a few minutes late they don't want to know. Sorry to hear about SP too, it certainly does remind me of the other site we do not mention, hope you can sort it out xx

I have got another review done and uploaded it to DY so I can have one on there today. I will copy it over to C tomorrow so that's 8/20 done already. I have some more perfumes I can do that I got for Christmas that I havent done before and they are all 300 points so will be good if they are all on DY. I am up to 10455 points on there so over half way to an Amazon voucher. I was up to £13.50 on C this morning too. Really liking this review challenge this month Elysia, it has got me back into it again so thanks for coming up with it xx
