Morning everyone. Just woke up to my emails to give British Gas my meter readings. Thats another 200 nectar points.
noticed one of the survey sites gives you nectar points! i've been saving mine since last october (i dont shop there just been going through them when buying things for the nectar points rather than cashback) and got £9.83 in points already.

I wish i could get more tesco points too, been asking friends and family to keep their used ink cartridges for me as you get 100 points for each you send in! excellent! xx

I haven't heard about this - where do I get the address to post to - or is it take into store please?

Luv P

Thanks Elysia, felt awful she went in all happy and smiling and came out screaming, picked some calpol up as well as the nurse said she could get a fever tonight. She has calmed down now and is having a little nap.

See what you mean about surveys being thin off the ground in January, when do they start to pick up again?

Afternoon all, well i'm feeling better than yesterday but now I have to stay off work for 2 days luckily I have some holiday I can use. Haven't managed to write another review this week yet and did promise myself I would write 4 per week so much try and get number 2 written today, have been copying reviews over from c so still getting some on. Have done a couple of surveys but just seem to keep getting screened out and managed some ratings too and best of all the xmas toys all now have a home and i have my front room back!!

Gonna start goning down the survey list today hopefully so watch this space for referral requests!!

Aargh quickly scrolling through and a message came up thanking me for reporting spam! Turned phone off and on again but this message had an unspam option. So sorry boatgirl, i hate these carp touchscreens grrrr.

Also a health vusitor advised me to give calpol an hour bwfore injections so it has time to kick in. Did seem to help the twins. Hope tabi is ok.

Just wanted to say Thanks so much Elysia for the superb spreadsheet, have been having a play with it this morning. It is going to be so useful in the coming months.

Thanks also to hollieinbloom for the Flora link, couldn't get it printed off but left my address so fingers crossed!

Thanks to purpleorchid for the roasters coffee and dove oil tip, off to try those now!

Am aiming to go through surveys list later today so might be back with some pleas for links!

Oh, forgot to ask, is anyone a member of max* m*les and if so, how do you get on with them. I've just found log in details from an old folder for them, Can not remember the site being like that, is it worth taking it up again?

Boat Girl - I hope Tabi is okay now. She should forget it all very quickly. I cried more than my son when he had his first injection!

Thanks for the links to freebies, I'll be off to check those next.

Baby news - now 8 days overdue but I've been at the hospital all morning and I am booked for a c-section on Friday. I had hoped that it would all happen naturally but that clearly isn't going to be and a c-section takes away the need for an induction and the risk of another tear. I'm feeling happier now it's all arranged and I get to meet my baby on Friday .

Off to do my daily things on SB etc.

I quite like them. I find the points add up quite quickly on there, especially if you agree to being sent the emails as most emails give you 5 points just for clicking a button. If you do a survey the points are being added instantly now which is better than before as you had to wait sometimes weeks.

I redeemed just before Christmas and I'm at nearly 2000 points again . I seem to remember my voucher came quite quickly as well.

Granny - it's good.:) If you get to 3,000 mm you get a £10 reward, but if you hang on for 3,500 you get a £15 Marks voucher. I used mine online and it was so easy. Much better value too.

Like Nicky said - allow surveys (quick to do) and you'll get extra points quickly, and watch and rate the videos (3 time each) and you'll be there before you know it.

Boat Girl - she might be a bit irritable for a couple of days yet. I hope she feels better soon. Well done on going out alone too.

Nicky - ooooh it won't be long now. I'm so excited for you.
