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

They are checking everything, paperwork is high up on their list and what a day is like for a child in your care. She was there for nearly 3 hours. I got a grading of good though which I am over the moon with.

Your course sounds the same as how mine was run. Good luck with it all. Best desision I could have made. I love it.

Morning everyone.

I thought having 3 YG in 3 days was a record, but that is impressive.

Not sure what the plan is yet for today. It looks quite nice out, not raining at least. I've not been up long, as DH is away the kids just played upstairs for a bit while I woke up. I've got the school uniform in the wash, don't feel like doing loads. I want to try and have some nice craft time or do some cooking with the kids I think.

Morning Michelle and everyone else

I am having a day off from the computer today I think. Just been on and did the vids etc on SB (special offers) and the button on SP. Might get some more sewing done or something, depends if OH ropes me into doing something else.

I will probs log in now and then to see whats happening though lol

I have got quite a quiet weekend as there is no football for me. It will be a good chance to catch up ont he housework today and then sort things out.

I think eb*y is having a free weekend again and I have lots of books to sort out. *m*zon seems to be taking 50% and the charity shops dont seem too keen on taking any more so I may as well get rid of them all in one go. Can someone let me know what the companies are again please?

I need a little help please.

I signed up to the OnePoll testing product and it has arrived and we have tested it. On the letter it says that the survey is in the members area and says its number.
My problem is that there is no such survey in my account and I have no idea whether there is a seperate members area? We only got the product today and it does say on the letter that when they get enough responses then the survey will no longer be available. However, we only got the product today and surely it cannot have vanished that quickly?

Jedi, if you only got the product today the survey may appear in a few days once they feel you have had enough time to test. They don't put any new surveys on at the weekend so I assume no one else can submit it either. Out of interest what was the test?

All ok here, have been baking ths morning for a friends baby shower tomorrow.

Have a few surveys in the inbox which wll do soon and managed another sb redeem, that's my 7th this year! V pleased, I actually joined in Sept and manged 1 redeem in 2011 so a bit of a jump. Finding the videos has really helped.

Hi ladies :j

I was just doing a survey through OP Out and came across a new site that we can register with. It's called Buzz Back. I am getting to test the new Vera W*ng L*ve st*uck perfume through them. they have a panel and you get paid anything from £1-£3 per survey and get to test things with them and the payout threshhold is UK £9.45 (it's $15) they have paypal and vouchers just like all the other sites :j

I signed up today but if anyone wants to take a peek at them their link is http://panel.buzzback.com/registration_step1.php?P=472

It was to test some wheat snacks for baby. My son ate them straight away!

System

Woohooing before heading out to work in an hour's time. Done my sb and sp today and attempted surveys but got screened out of 90% of them :mad: Remember the days when it was rare to get screened out??

Thanks for the heads up about buzzback ginger I've joined up. So fingers crossed.

Was having a think - does anyone know of anywhere where you can recycle your tin cans for cash? Thought it might be another way of adding a few pennies to the pot.
