    Clearly the laser eye surgery was not worth the money as I was reading it as a max of 150 words not 250 :o

    Have submitted now - fingers crossed! :)

    :rotfl: I did wonder as I didn't have any problems fitting mine into the word limit.

    Good luck :)

    Just done a survey and am receiving a tube of toothpaste to trial (but have to send it back after 2 weeks :think:).

    I've also been allocated a couple of online MS jobs, totaling £7. I've already got £5 on there (can't request payment until you get to £15), so I'm well on my way to my £30 target for that site next month.

    It is so you cannot pass it on to anyone else or a rival toothpaste manufacturer as a lot of trials are secret.;)

    I work for a research company and we often ask for packaging and any remaining product back.

    Ah, thanks for letting me know. Makes sense now. I just thought 'what are they going to do with a load of used toothpaste tubes!!' :rotfl:

    Just finished my questions for the day. Might have a go at writing that article.

    Had the fright of my life earlier. My iPhone just wouldn't turn on, wouldn't charge - nothing!! Looked up on the internet and got it back on, but then there was no WiFi. Found out how to sort that out and it's all okay again now. I would seriously be lost without the internet.

    Did a few more surveys tonight and am receiving some crisps to trial :).

    Morning

    I didn't write that article. I have no idea why I'm putting it off. I will get my questions done today and then make sure I write it.

    I did do one of my online MS jobs last night. I forgot to mention that I've actually been allocated 12 now, so that's £47 I will have on that site by the time I'm finished.

    Better get to work.

    Okay, I've written the article :eek:. Not sure if it was any good. Only time will tell. The worst thing that can happen is they don't like it and I can cross that off my list of money making things for next month (only allocated it £20).

    Back to the questions.

    Well done on getting 3* Beccie :). You have to literally keep on refreshing as often as you can and 3 star articles will appear eventually. They go very quickly though.
