Right, don't all shout but I've decided I really should do more surveys etc for Christmas 2014 :eek:

So my questions are can anyone either a) point me in the best direction and b) does anyone want to "introduce" me to any so they too get a bonus

I'm another one who suggests Valued opinions, also I have made a grand sum of £50 with My Survey this year, however it could have been more because lost interest for about 5 months:eek:.

I'm also with another that your not supposed to talk about (a bit like Fight Club;)), occasionally get option to invite someone, next time one comes through I will PM you x

Just back from Morrisons cos I saw a post elsewhere about school uniform being reduced, it wasn't, they didn't even have any in! Cashier did tell me their clothes would be reduced for Mon if anyone is interested. I can't get though, working full-time and car off road so no going in lunch break! They didn't even have any seasonal chocs or toiletries or biscuit tins for me to gaze it and get my fix. Hmmmppph!

Thanks for the comment re Furby, you have confirmed my thoughts. Let's hope it takes her a long time to save £60.;)

Our Furby's have just started speaking English, only taken the little critters 9 months. Both by DD's have one and play with them regularly, ages are 8 & 5 (daughters, not the Furby's:rotfl:) x

Card factory has their christmas displays out and the gift bags, and my local 99p store has a small display out too. Picked up a cute santa shaped notepad and candy cane pen for notemaking.

Just come back from Mr T and can confirm that they have some of their Christmas meat joints in the freezer so have picked up a 3 bird roast with apple and bourbon glaze and hidden it in freezer for Christmas Day lunch in case we don't end up going anywhere (wanted to get one last year but left it too late and everywhere had sold out). The confectionery is gradually spreading and they have some selection boxes, mince pies and puddings out but doesn't seem like the whole range yet and no sign of the coal.

Also popped into The Range yesterday and they were about halfway through putting out their Christmas stock. Lady working there said it had started going out last Monday and some of the stuff they had put out then had already sold out so they were trying to keep the shelves looking full!

Seems as if Christmas is a bit like marmite - you either love thinking about it or you can't even stand to hear the word mentioned before December I call it the festive season when I am talking to people who don't like hearing the 'C' word yet!

Also went to Manchester primark yesterday. they had all the sweaters in but I bought 2 a couple of weeks ago and still have 2 from last year, so didn't get one.

did get the reindeer Nordic leggings though.

I got the leggings too (although I thought they were a bit expensive for Primark). But they're so comfy!

on the subject again of Christmas films has anyone seen this one? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110538/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_6
I've never heard of it before but came across it on imdb
Directed by the same person who directed you've got mail & when Harry met Sally so thought it might be good

I'm getting a bit worried about tomorrow's task, as everyone's needs are different.
I was wondering what everyone thought about posting their own weekly goals on a Sunday. You are more likely to do them if you know you have to post what you have achieved the following week.( no cheating)

Any thoughts on the idea ?
