    Hi mooo, tell me about the AdPoints if you don't mind?
    https://www.nectaradpoints.com - you watch videos and earn Nectar points for it. You need to pay attention as there are prompts to click every 30-45 seconds :)

    I've found if you click on the play button and nothing happens, leave it as is and do something on another tab - I've found it eventually starts playing and am alerted by the sound. It has taken 5-6 mins each time - seems it's not buffering as it should but does eventually.

    Had 2 ads doing that tonight and I've posted about it too on the Nectad thread in Up Your Income.

    Hope that helps :)

    Morning folk,

    Writing this on the train as I make my way to London for that day. Sounds like madness to do that on a train but as I have to be in central London it works out about the same in travel time and I get provided with coffee!

    Yesterday was a bit spendy thanks to having to send a parcel. Hermes worked out to be a lot cheaper than the post office though so I used them.

    All my accounts are looking ok this morning. I managed to surprise myself yesterday by going to the supermarket for milk and only coming out with...milk!!

    I'm going to try and keep the spends to a minimum today, but I imagine that tea will be essential throughout the journey!

    Cracking boost to my savings today as I got money through for tickets I sold. Savings account is now sitting just over £1200 :j

    I'm up to 110 Adpoints and did a Nectar survey for 40 points too. I also got accepted to do one of those scan your shopping survey things that a friend referred me to, so I get the scanner delivered next week and can earn vouchers and things (I think!)

    :T:T:T

    Excellent on all fronts.

    The shop and scan sounds good and a bit different to doing surveys. Hope it comes with a proper check-out 'beep' - I would find that strangely satisfying :rotfl:

    Here it is!

    It works very well without onions/peppers (rarely organised enough to remember to buy peppers!) and I use garlic powder instead of fresh and regular chopped tomatoes instead of plum :D They say you need 350ml of stock, but I find I need at least 500ml if not more. Top it up until the rice is cooked.

    Hope you like it - it's one of my favourites!
