    Massive fail on NSDs - only one so far :o I couldn't help myself from stocking up on chocolate biscuits and shortbread tins (£2 each) which were reduced at MrT. Not good for my waistline. They have BBE dates until Oct 2014, though.

    Did you get any edig surveys before Xmas US? I had a load, and some leftovers in the last few days, plus another few different ones - just under £200 :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks GG for popping into this page :-) Well done on your edig surveys - hope the money went into your OP pot.

    I had a number of edig invites, but did not take up any due to the pressures of work and commuting - will be doing them in the coming days.

    I am looking into opening a S&S ISA this year, any recommendations from my fellow MFWs? Have looked at HL website. TIA.

    edigital. Paid to critique websites. You need to do a free review first which takes a while but I've picked up over £400 in 6 months. Trouble is they tend to come in quite big waves a few times a year. If you're interested, drop me a PM ;).

    Sorry to hijack US :D.
