    For people who are members already, the "new week" begins at midnight tonight :) I'll be watching videos tomorrow no doubt!


    Having a take-away tonight, very un-MSE but we've had "one of those" weekends and it is much needed!!!
  • Ammonite I think a little of what you fancy now and again is always a good thing, so enjoy you're takeaway and don't feel guilty about having it, you've saved on other things and earned extra money through your surveys and reviews so I think you've earned it :D

    It will be particularly handy for Christmas if you know what people want.

    Hope it helps someone.

    Thanks ammonite - I'd read about that ages ago but forgot to write down the details :T

    Did you take part in the trial of this back in Feb time? I think that's why we have the invite, or that's how I read it on my email anyway!

    I think it's a fab way to get more points and the ads are only really short which is even better! Although i've so far added a few bits to my shopping list (crunchy nut cornflakes *ahem*) because of the ads tempting me :rotfl:

    choc_chick - Our takeaway was YUM and very well deserved. We don't go out much so I figured if we went out for a meal it would have cost us more :D

    Shala - Didn't take part in the trial no, I wonder if they just invited X amount of people? LOL @ the adverts getting you :D They obviously work :)

    Edinburgher - You are welcome, I am finding it very useful, but if you see the price drop, buy it immediately, I dithered for a day and it went back up by £10...its dropped by £5...just hanging in there now for it to drop futher! It's like a game!

    Today I will mostly be:

    -watching adverts

    - writing more reviews (£62 now - I'm going for £75 cash, I solved my own first world dilemma - see earlier posts :))

    - sorting out my office :o

    - sorting out the back bedroom which has become a dumping ground for baby things!

    - continue browsing for Christmas gifts (including some Camel tracking :D)

    Only 71 sleeps until Christmas :D
  • Thank you for the camel link and the ad points link too!
    Slow progress is better than no progress.
  • Hi Ammonite,

    Glad you sorted your 3W dilemma!!! What a decision!

    Also thank you for useful discussion on nectar adpoints - I'd previously dismissed it thinking it wouldn't amount to much. Glad I kept the link though!

  • Yes ad watching tonight or tomoz!

    Having a few problems with adpoints today, the adverts keep repeating and the points don't add on. I go back a couple of hours later and the points add on - very strange. Might leave it until tomorrow to make sure it works properly.

    I wouldn't say it is particularly lucrative but for 15mins per week while Im doing something else it's worth the 250 points
