    You could try downloading Open Office which is a free office suite. It says it will open Microsoft Office docs etc. I always use this but I dont have the new spreadsheet, I have the old one that Jammy did years ago and I have adapted it for my own benefit.

    Morning everyone - just.

    Horrible horrible day here. Got soaked on the school run, as did both kids. Not nice at all.

    I'm not doing well with surveys. Screened out the cereal one, so when it asks how many surveys you have done in the last month, then don't say 5+.

    Managed a 40p crowdology one which made me feel a bit stupid. I could barely answer any of the general knowledge questions. Oh well.

    Glad you said that about Crowdology - I got 9 for one, 3 for 1, 4 for 2 and nothing for the other one.

    I thought it was just me :)

    Afternoon all

    We have put all the Christmas bits and pieces away and have a much bigger open living room again, funny how things always look more tidier and bigger when the decs all go away.

    I had a survey/diary thing to do this afternoon which said it pays £10 Amazon voucher, will have to wait now and see if it arrives.

    I had a few more surveys in my inbox today but didnt qualify for any of the others.

    Karoner - did your ms's go ok?

    Claros - I think Hollie was asking that too, so you're not on your own. Rufus is right Open Office will open it. I checked after Hollie asked.

    Emma - sorry to hear you're feeling poorly. I hope you get better soon.

    Nicky - are you still here? Go and have a bounce on the bed or something. :)

    My brain is going to explode today - I still haven't done any of the tidying up - but I've done and submitted three new reviews on brand new items. Hopefully they won't all go on in one batch, but I suspect they might. I need to get to Dooyoo and do some rating now. Busy, busy, busy. See you later.

  • hi all

    no nsd for 5 days now, have just taken £10 out of my shop and scan account fo amazon, have ordered 3 litres of comfort blue for £3.30, set of 6 glitter shakers mixed colours for £3.20 plus p + p,and a set of mixed coloured card A4, for £2.35, plus p+p. i probably could have got the glitter and the card cheaper in wilkinsons, but i figured as this was the cheapest on amazon and im not really paying for it then i ordered them. had 24 cans of kitekate cat food last off amazon for £10.80, think i had to add about 80p out of my own money but the rest was paid with shop and scan ecode.

    Luv P

    Woo Hoo it worked!!!!!!!!!:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Now i just need to write an assignment tonight then i can play :-)

    Did go to Sainsburys yesterday and they had big sale on the women's gifts but i didn't need much so only bought for the pre school staff (which i've got the money for) and a soap and lotion set for my mum for mothers day :-)

    Am trying on the S**gb**ks but getting annoyed, never know what to search, is it just anything just random things? Have been using the tv thing and having videos on whilst i'm doing other things and then going back and changing them over. Did have 2 surveys on there, could only do one but thats better than nothing :-)

    Right must go work!!!!!

    Yay - just managed to claim $10 paypal from superpoints. Thanks for all who let me refer them, as I have lower cashout because of that, and all the pennies count at the minute to clear my 0% card.

    Just had an email too to say my new laptop is out for delivery, so hopefully that means I will have it with me tomorrow. :j

    Well done Michelle. I've way behind you on superpoints - I never seem to win any on the spin thing. :(

    Charlie - I search sites where I'm going next - so usually it's chow or dooU. ;) Mum2three's suggestion is good though - I think I'll try that.

    Got another site to add to the list. I've just signed up to Gratis points. :) It looks to be like Survey [EMAIL="He@d"]He@d[/EMAIL]. Pays at £16.11 for paypal.

    Off to do some more rating - It's been none stop today.
