Morning all

You all seem to be doing really well. That offer sounds good with the bingo Elysia, wondering whether I have enough money to join it too. I will have to check my bank later on.

No surveys this morning so not a lot to do. I cant be bothered with the reviewing at the moment. I am waiting for them to add one on DY and I dont have many points on there yet so I am going to wait until that is added before I do any for there.

My OH is another one who has money to waste. He bought YD's new phone, had to buy her a leather case to put it in and then bought her a stylus to use on it. Thing is what teenagers want their phones in cases and use styluses they can type fast enough with their thumbs or whatever. So that was a waste, then he bought me a stylus for my new one, I wont use it either. Then he had to buy new wallpaper for the dining room, we only decorated in there end of October. Bought new lamp for living room, we have four in there now, plus vases galore that he has swapped with ones he bought November, they are just put in the cupboard now as have no where to put them. Must have wasted well over £100 in the last week while he has been off work. Its all coming out of his Christmas bonus but he cant see thats not the point.

Mrs Bunny, my OH is the same, he scoffs at me when I am doing a survey. I did three Viva ones yesterday and OH was moaning as he was waiting for me to get ready to go out, I said to him I had just earned £3 and he was saying "wow" in a sarcastic voice. I said to him its alright for him as he earns a lot and always has money to go and buy whatever he wants, where as I dont even have enough money to get myself a pair of socks. All my money I have for myself either goes on buying the presents for the year and the rest goes on YD to buy her clothes and give her some pocket money. He cant see it though.

Glad to hear i am not the only one with OH's that dont get it!

Hearing these stories make me think there is 1 good point of being single :rotfl:

Just checked viva on the off chance there would be a new survey... the weekly surveys that are normally available to do again on a saturday were there again this morning so I've done the same two surveys 3 times this weekend :j

Wrote a new review aswell, not posting over to chow though, it can wait till next decembers toy promo!

DONT FORGET S&S!!!!

Morning everyone - My OH started moaning that I was on the comp all day long - he soon shut up when he saw how much I made. Stick with it, It's worth all the moaning. Rufus - I know what you mean too. OH pays bills and food, and I pay for all the 'nice' stuff, holiday money, presents, and days out.

I think It was Foxy who asked about the bingo. If I refer you, I'd get some money but it's best if you sign up yourself, and that way you get it. Go through TCB to Paddy Power, and scroll down to the bottom I think where it says Bingo. Deposit £10, get another £20 to play, you play though it all (and hope you win), and then it tracks at £25.75. Not bad for a £10 outlay.

Cornish - thanks hun. I'll be over to check some of yours today. I 'think' I've done them all, but there might be one or two I've missed.


Morning everyone - the sun is shining beautifully today - so we're just off to Coventry to take DD to the park on her flicker. So I'll see you later.

I am another getting frustrated with my other half. We do not have 2 pennies to rub together at the moment yet he went to the shop for toilet roll last night came back with a take away beers chocolate and some razors ( I brought him a 16 pack at xmas ) but apparently they were on offer for £1 cheaper :mad:

I have tried everything to get him on board he talks the talk abiut saving and not wasting money but he is too daft with his money I tried showing him my list from last year and how DD had a money neautral birthday he just nods and says oh thats great feel like I am banging my head of a wall lol

C is up to £4 today and DY around £5 which is good only redeemed both on the 30th December. Going to concentrate on rating today if anyone wants to pm me there username that would be great theres only around 5 from here that I recognise so know I am missing alot of you.

Lindsay - you need to register your interest at www.volunteer4panels.com to join S&S. No-one can refer you sadly.

Savvy - No new reviews today - I couldn't find the motivation like Cornish. Headache is still lingering - I have them for days sometime. The bingo was Paddy Power (and scroll down to where it says Bingo) on TCB and it was £25.75 cashback

Cornish - sorry I missed you post earlier hun. Well done on the ebay listings. No-one rating on Chow or Dooyoo except us I think. I did a few hours this morning and got one rate back (on Chow) and I've had to struggle most of the day to get 32 on DooU.

Hi Elysia

It says on Topcashback that the payout will not be via paypal so how do they pay it? I'm probably being a bit thick.

Also this offer ends today.

Thanks. I clearly was being a bit thick as it's obvious now from the site. Doh!!!:o

I have made another redeem on SB so that's another £5 amazon voucher.

I just cannot get motivated with the reviews. I think it's because I also mystery shop and have to write reports so I find it quite tedious. I'll sit on that one for now.

Made another £4 this weekend on Vivantic.

Need to list the rest of my bits on ebay. Already have two items selling and can list another 8 so will do that this weekend as it's free.
