    Well done Emz :T I signed up but using my home email address which I can't access from work so will have to wait till later :(

    What sort of sample did you have to submit?

    They give you a choice of 4 topics, can't remember all of them, but I wrote about sightseeing in my city. It has to be 120-250 words long (think mine was around 170).

    I'll have to pick a different subject - trust me, there is no sightseeing to be done in Aldershot :rotfl:

    Portsmouth was an easy one for me :). I think another topic was your favourite shop/brand.

    Hi everyone

    Beautiful day down south today :cool:.

    Received my washing detergent samples. 2 full-sized bottles :T - OH was chuffed as it's much better than the cheap stuff we usually buy :).

    I've got some more MS jobs lined up for next week. My total is now around £100. Also claimed another £5 credit for the bingo next week and am getting a $10 (just over £6) Paypal payment from Superpoints.

    I've also won a couple of quid on free bingo. I need £30 to withdraw, but I figure if I do it whilst I'm online anyway, then I'll get there eventually.

    Morning

    I've got such a sore neck. I must have slept in a funny position on Saturday night as it was killing me on Sunday morning - I couldn't even turn my head. Thankfully I can move it a bit more now, but it's still very painful. Even had to get my OH to wash my hair for me last night.

    Got 2 MS jobs lined up today and I am so not in the mood to do them. I can't do them until this afternoon due to the timings.

    My chair has broken again. I think it might be beyond repair this time :(. I can still sit on it at the moment though (it's 2 of the slats that have gone).

    Be back in a bit.

    I've done the MS jobs, but I've decided that I really don't like mystery shopping. So I've been trying to find ways to make my money up to £1,500 next month. I've come up with £1,200 so far. Need to get my thinking cap on.

    Hi Emz, I was thinking now you have an Iphone you can download the Quidco app for free and when you go into a shop or near a shop you can "check in" and get 5-50p per check in and once you get a £1 worth it can get transfered into your account.

    Hi Pap

    I did do Avon a couple of years back, but I found it difficult in terms of collecting the books and delivering orders when it was raining or cold. Got quite a few colds doing it.

    I will definitely look into the Shop and Scan things though :)

    Hi GRC :)

    Forgot to add Quidco to my list. I reckon I could get around £20 a month by doing free offers etc. Will definitely download that app too.
