Not been doing alot of money making but was accepted on a second week of the s&s foodie thing which will be another £10. Will be able to redeem £40 on there this time next week which will be welcomed with open arms, not finding many surbveys at the moment but I have already made £35 this month so I think I am on track, will be better if I can get payout again too this month although I am still awaiting Decembers payment.

How is everyone today? Hope the New year is getting off to a good start?

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

Could you possibly invite me to super points please?




Having a really bad day for reviews today. I was rating for about and hour today and received about 5 from that.... rubbish!. Think i'm in that "quick we need to earn money NOW" mode! so that i have lots for christmas time.

Used my £5 amazon voucher last night to buy some seeds for my vegetable garden. Got some radish, lettuces and some pretty forget me nots for the front garden. They weren't too badly priced either, would have paid more in Homebase i reckon!.
I thought that I would treat myself and ended up treating the garden instead!.

anyone who has Chow or DooU and wants me to add you to my friends lists, drop me a PM and i can add!

Hope everyone is well and happy today! xxx

Yeah first review of the year written and posted on dy, I feel so much better getting that done.

OH back to work tomorrow going to have a go at tidying the house out and hopefully a bit of money making.

You are all doing so well.

Thanks Hollie - if you pm me your email addy again, I'll do it straight away. Hun, as you rate people and recongnise their names, just add them. Hopefully they'll return the favour. You get more points if it's mutual.

Savvy - well done on the redeems - you're doing fabulously. Did you get any more OU coursework done?

Clairey - well done hun. I'll be over there in a bit. I haven't stopped today.

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

Good nes about the laptop.

Can you refer me please if it is not too late

Thanks

Elysia, no further with the coursework really, due dat was the 5th by midday so glad I have an extension. I have hit a writer's block. tried so hard to gte on with it but I can't kick my brain into action. Going to do the forum questions then at least I can do the last part of the assignment before I tackle the rest of it. I really want to pass my degree but just feel that maybe I was never destined to pass a degree. I will give it a good shot but it's hurting my brain at the moment. Saying that, when I first started, the first week i broke down in tears telling hubby this is far beyond me but I passed the first module so maybe I just need to regain some self belief and motivation.

Well doen for posting some more reviews, I will get around to rating everyone's reviews once this assignment is submitted. I'm sure I will have a fair few E's to hand out and maybe get back into it. I'm stuck on £4.70 lol. How's the computer hun, is it working properly today or is it a replace jobby?

Well don on the MS's karonher, desperate to get one on the link you gave me so I can do that jewellery one we discussed, with my sisters (18th) coming up I could do with a MS for that one. Don't overdo it though hun, but well done for having so much booked.

hope your new laptop arrives tomorrow michelle, mine was from dell and arrived 2-3 weeks after I ordered! i was really put out as I missed weeks on an assignmen but then I love my laptop so I guess it's swings and roundabouts.

Being so good and curbing my spending, trying to set goals of thing we 'need' to buy rather than seeing a bargain and buying because it's a bargain, soooo hard.

Ive managed to make the most of my day off work today, popped into town but its been raining all day and soo windy so didnt stay long!

Ive got 2 reviews done today, did one for a dymo machine at it was over 900 words :eek: definatley my best so far, it just seemed to flow really well and i knew what to write! Also done about 100 rates on dooyoo and probably not far off the same on chow by the end of the night. Just started writing a third review although not going to list that today as at work tomorrow 9-6pm so might not get time to write one tomorrow so can stick that up

Also took my decorations now, cant how bare the whole house and my bedroom especially look now, i love christmas so much and it just feels like back to normality now!

Just doing a listing too as we speak to ebay so this will be my first listing of 2012 and hopefully will be a few £££ towards the £50 challenge for this money :j
