Thanks PIB, was just coming to post that!
Signed up to Heart bingo this evening via the referrers board - you get £10 bonus if you use a referal, which you can withdraw making it risk free. So got my £10 stake back plus withdrew winnings of £27.90. Also went through Quidco which will be another £15 if it tracks! Have posted my referal on the referrers board if anyone is interested or PM me.
Bits & bobs done the last few days, redeemed on Ips, first ever so pleased with that! Got disheartened that my SB points were 8 after redeeming but now getting back to it! We've all taken it in turns to be poorly over the last two weeks but gotta get back into it as the tv blew up the other nite...... so money to be made!
Hope everyone else doing ok & making lots xxx

Sorry to hear you've all been unwell Bevally and a shame about the tv. Our washing machine has gone wrong so we have had to order a new one of them which is coming on Friday. Our tv is playing up too. The button that turns it on and off is not working so we have to just turn it off by the remote and unplug it if we are going out but cant afford a new one yet so will have to make do with it unless it goes completely.

I've put a couple of reviews on this morning. Had a few surveys last night which I managed to complete which made a change lately. I am on SB now doing the vids on supersonic. Cant get SP to load at the moment so will do that one later on.

Hello everyone, still alive, still trying to be a thrifty gifty girl, but finding it hard to find time for everything.

Lots of things going on at home, including a mice infestation in the garage and spotting a big rat just outside my back door. Also had parents evening, and I am trying to set up a folksy shop with my next door neighbour.

I am not getting chance to do much. A PC survey, a couple from ips0s and cr0wdology. Lots of rating reviews, not many written though. I just switched off the computer in the end last night as I wanted to have a nice soak in the bath with a book. I never have any me time so well deserved.

Today I've got as far as doing some housework, taking some photos and sorting prices of some things for the shop, and arranging for pest control to come out this afternoon. I'm not sure when I will be able to get the dog out for a walk today, or write anything. So much going on my head is full.

Anyway, back to it. Almost time to do nursery run again, and I have not done anywhere near enough of what I need to do.

Hi all - gosh its quiet on here!
I have had a pretty horrible month so far - work has gone really quiet and we had to go through redundancy at the beginning of the month which was pretty traumatic. I have kept my job, but no one seems to know what is round the corner and we are all on egg shells. Its not a very nice place to be at the moment.
I have sold a few bits on ebay, and need to get my !!! in gear and get them packaged and posted this afternoon. I have a nice little pot coming from Q at the end of the month, finally my car insurance tracked! I've got enough saved for holiday spending money, but not really making inroads on my overdraft so really need to get on it! I've just joined Ladbrokes bingo - deposit and play £10 and got a £50 bonus to play with (which can't be withdrawn) - I won £7.50 on my first game so only need £2.50 to be money neutral, and then can play through the £50 and hope I win a bit back, but it keeps crashing on me and I can't buy tickets at the moment which is really frustrating!
I've emailed the helpline and am waiting on them coming back to me.
I don't really know whats going on with me at the moment - I read what other people are going through and yet I just feel like I'm crumbling inside and want to cry.

It must be stressful for you Foxy not knowing about your job and things are hard for everyone at the moment without having to worry about that as well. Good luck on the bingo when you get it sorted out xx

I have had two new reviews on C and one on DY today. Managed to do quite a few surveys after all and had a load of T points added so well over half way again on there already.

Foxy, you sound really down. It must be really stressful so keep being kind to yourself. The rest can wait.

Sending (((hugs))) Foxy, it sounds like you've been through the mill. Hope things soon start to improve, good luck with the bingo!

Had my £5 cheque in the post today from the cereal survey a while back .

£10 redeem on VO today, really happy.

OH doesnt understand why I am trying to figure out Christmas already despite the fact I am made redundant in 15 days and that we have found out that we will have another mouth to feed by October MEN!!

My OH is coming round to it Pips Mum, after all these years of me doing it. He isnt as far ahead as Christmas yet but is now buying birthday presents etc at least a month in advance, sometimes more than that. Never known him to be so organised. Used to be a last minute job.

I have got a couple of reviews on today and done a few surveys. Off to to some SBTV now for a bit xx
