    I shall indeed subscribe to your diary!

    The shop and scan is a website where you scan in the barcodes and shopping criteria of everything that you buy, you also can send pictures of your reciepts. This is all for market research purposes and you earn a £10 voucher every 6-7 weeks (if you do the reciept as well).

    You have to register for it and then wait for an invite, worth registering I think they must have periods of invites as I knwo 3 people at least off these boards recieved there invitation last week.

    I also do Valued Opinions which is a survey website, they pay per survey and again pay out in vouchers!

    Good luck in your jouney...i shall be following:D:D

    You should try Dooyoo Laura - from recollection it was easier to make money than some of the other routes you're exploring :)

    will have a look that that thank you!
    Busy day today, only in office for half day then meant to be going to uni, however...drum roll please......I have an interview!!!

    Applied for a job on Monday evening and they have asked me interview. Could not do tomorrow or Friday so seemed like this afternoon was best option. Not a lot of time to perpare but really really like the sound of it!

    then will be back home as loads of work to do for a presentation I have to give tomorrow.

    busy busy busy....already looking forward to the weekend!

    Good luck :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks all, the interview went ok, then the funny thing was I have really enjoyed work the last two days and feel massively motivated. Whilst my workload is ridiculose I'm now not so sure I do want to leave here....and not sure about the other job yet....dunno, think maybe leave it till after xmas and see how I feel then!

    Anyway, it has been a hectic week and a 15 hour day yesterday and presenting for 4 hours today has made me think I am in need of a few glasses of wine tonight!!

    Food shopping tonight before I go to the pub but just done the list and there is barely anything we need. Have offered to do a roast on sunday for all the family so that will push the cost up a bit but should be well inside the £30 budget I had set.

    Looking forward to the weekend so much, got some work to do but nothing too taxing thankfully!

    hope all are well and enjoy the weekend xx
