It is hard and I do understand.

However, teachers do work very hard during the week and to be honest the last thing they want to do is then work at the weekend in school. It is not a 9.00am - 3.30pm job as many believe - it is blumin exhausting and a lot of hard work. I myself am a teacher and a mum - my weekends are for my children and not everyone elses. We do do some events at the weekend to balance things out but whatever we do someone will always be unhappy.

I'm sorry I do not mean offence but I do feel that people loose sight that of the fact that we as teachers are not there 24/7.

I do really understand as I myself loose out on seeing my daughter's assemblies and any in-school events as I myself am teaching at the same time!

Anyway, I'll probably be shot down for saying this and I really do not mean any offence.:o

Anyway, nearly at a redeem at both SB and SP. Just really hoping Toluna get their finger out and give us our points.

Three of my children are Teachers - agree with you.

Hi, what do you have to do for your garding inspection?? Are they checking you, the house, your activities??

I am enrolling onto a childcare course through the council but the next one is not til June/July time and apparently the courses I need to do will run alongside it, the course lasts for 15 weeks so it's going to be the end of the year before I can actually mind children

Oops. Sorry, I seem to have hit a nerve with a few of you there about the school event thing. I wasn't meaning to. At our school there is a lot of people I know do not work and are just going home so could have gone to the event and supported it. I just felt it a shame that it is the same people all the time go to this stuff when the PTA are trying hard to do fun events for the kids. It's hard. I've been a working mum, and you can't fit it all in. I just meant I feel if you are able to, you should try and go.

Anyway, enough of that.

Slightly expensive day, as DH's car had its MOT though it only needed something doing with a headlight bulb so it could have been lots worse.

I've counteracted that by getting a redeem again on superp0ints. I noticed on the complete offers section, there are some additional videos on matomy. There are also some different tasks you can do. I did a short one for 3points last night. I tried a longer one, and didn't get picked but I was finding it too hard to concentrate. So there are some other bits other than wheel spinning for those of you who are struggling. You also get more spins if you make sure your account is properly validated.

I managed 2 reviews written last night, so 21 in total for the month to today.

I've not managed many surveys really, but I will try and do some tonight.

Afternoon all, I've just joined Fabulous bingo, deposited £10 and got £20 bonus. I take it I have to play through all of this and can't withdraw any?
I have left my username (same as on here) on the referrals board and if anyone else fancies their chances, please go through there!

I have done a market research group this morning, £50 and a handful of biscuit samples later thank you very much!
Got parents evening later today, and fancy a roast dinner tonight!
Ebay has been really successful this month, I've still got loads to list, and 4 parcels to post. Got one non payer as well tho grrr!!
Am planning on a good ebay day on Friday and need to do some cleaning, but really can't be bothered to start now!
How is everyone else doing?

Did u use someone's referral when you signed up? If you did, once you've played through your £10 that you've deposited you'll get £10 that you can withdraw (making it risk free). You can't withdraw the bonus £20 but once you've played all that you can withdraw the winnings! I've done it! Make sure you withdraw you £10 as soon ad it is credited x

Thanks Bevally, just had the £10 credited already - haven't won anything yet tho :-(
