There is nothing else you should be doing on Sony. There are 3 people in Legendmum family with Sony a/cs (her, OH & Mum). Which means Legendmum gets 3 x £5 vouchers per month.

Aspella is right Nicola when there was a referral put on Grabbit last year I signed up myself, OH and mum! Mum gave up and said it wasnt her thing so I do it for her and OH did try but hes no good either so I do all 3 when I remmeber! We were quite lucky as alot of people had accounts closed due to not being asked to join by Sony themselves! Apologies for confusing you!

Weather here is clean off! Been terrible through the night an awful wind! I am babysitting a friends little girl today as she has work so that should be fun! Will not be leaving the house though incase I blow away!

Karonher I will pm you but could I also have the cereal survey too? Just waiting on s&s points to be credited today and can redeem on there! Also have to c ount my cash pot as OH gives me money towards all the CHristmas presents I "buy" I used £120 to pay car tax but managed to put some in my pot so have some cash to start the year!

I've gone over the page now so I can't see who asked about Superpoints. I'm on it too, I'd not long joined, and didn't like to add anything to the list I wasn't sure off. You're right, it is like SB's. Either me or Michelle can recommend you - I don't think many of us are on that one.

Granny welcome to the thread hun. If you'd like a spreadsheet so you can keep track of earnings and outgoings (presents) pm me your email address. Don't worry, I delete them straight away.

I didn't have much success with the cereal thingy - I downloaded the software and it froze, so I tried again but although the survey was working I couldn't see the pics. I gave up after an hour of trying to get it to work.

Jam Tart - sorry to hear about the washing machine. Ours is on it's last legs too. Have a good day at work hun.

Jedi - I remember going back to work after my daughter. I only did part time, and I cried all the way through it. I wouldn't mind, I was working in Woolies on the checkout, the customers must have thought I was really wierd. You've been through this once, you can do it again. Just keep remembering you are doing the best you can for your family. You're a wonderful Mum.

KayAndy - just sign up to everything, and work down your emails every night - what you don't have time for, leave. It's easy. Other than that reviews are a good earner - but you have to be prepared to put the time in rating.

What an awful day today - Rain Rain and more rain. OH is taking DD to the soft play to keep her occupied for a bit. I might get the tree down while they're gone, and do some jobs.

must be something about washing machines, ours is on it's last legs too. It's first on the list once the emergency savings are topped up.

(we'll all be reviewing washing machines in a couple of months lol)

hollieinbloom

haha, washing machines.......mine is driving me crazy! i have had to quit smoking so i can save up for a new one.
(was quitting anyway but I like to blame the silly washing machine). everything comes out smelling horrible because it used to be a washer dryer. it was in on our tenancy agreement but he said "if it breaks then just throw it away, but we won't be replacing it when it does". doh.... can't wait to get our own place!

so what is this thing about Sony? and someone can refer me to superpoints
xx

morning all!

sorry to hear about all the broken washing machines. I thought ours was broken new years eve. it stopped spinning which it has before and the motor brushes have been replaced. although this isn't expensive its still an expense I would rather do without. OH googled the fault and found instructions on how to do it himself:j he does have his uses:D

it is soooo windy here. I took the dog for a walk but didn't get very far!

I should be able to redeem on s&s when my points get added today:j

I used my birthday and Christmas money to buy a kenwood mixer yesterday so will be baking today :T

Hope everyone has had the survey if they asked for it. I have sent 2 pms and an e mail inthe last 15 minutes so think that is all I need to be up tp date. I am going out know for at least 5 hours, so wont be able to send any others til then. If anyone else could send them if anymore are wanted I would be gragteful.

Weather is awful here as well. My short stint as a postwoman failed miserably. Was told to get there for 7 am :eek: no one was expecting us so we sat around for 2 1/2 hours before getting sent out with an experienced postman. Told to get there for 9 the next day and sent home at ten past as there was no work. Phoned Friday and Saturday but not needed.

I was not planning to carry on this week - it was only a 9 day stint - and luckily got quite a bit of mystery shopping to replace it. So glad I am not out much in the wind and rain today!!

Ooh, good idea Bunbun, I think I might do some baking with DS today. He's back at school tomorrow (only afternoons) so I want to have a special day with him today.


Well, 7 days overdue now and feeling rather fed up. Everything hurts now, even my skin! My tummy is so big it feels like it might rip open :eek:. I'm at the hospital again tomorrow so maybe something will be decided then.


I don't think I'm getting the most out of SBucks at the moment. I do the daily poll, NOSO bit, watch videos, search and play the games until I get some bucks. Is there anything else I could do to speed things up a bit? I see people mentioning they have redeemed already but I'm only on 140 bucks and I started last year . I have only just started doing it every day though, it just seems to be adding up so slowly.
