    Deep breaths - 1....2.....3.....

    We have gone out for a meal that cost £62 after a 25% discount was taken - I'll give you all one guess as to who paid.

  • Great result for the bag sale, Emz:j
    I get annoyed with eBay for forever tinkering with their postage and other rules. Sorry you ended up out of pocket on the postage. I tend to sell on there less and less these days for just such reasons. It isn't the fun it used to be is it?

    Great news about finally getting your YouGov money. I'm just 60 points short of my £50 payout but at 50 points for most surveys I'll need to do 2 more to be able to make a claim.

    I've been doing surveys with MyVoice for what seems like forever and have just reached the 2000 points needed for the minimum £20 payout. They only pay in paper vouchers but have loads of different ones to choose from. I think I might stop doing surveys for some of these companies where it takes years to get a payout. It's just too time-consuming for so little immediate gain!

    Hi CBC :)

    Hope you get to payout on You Gov soon. I know what you mean about those survey sites. I'm just 25p off finally claiming £25 from Springboard.

    It is a long hard slog, but it's great when that payment finally arrives.

  • don't use Royal Mail is my advice - Hermes is cheaper plus free tracking and they collect.

    Sorry, got a bit excited there. Hardly got anything done yesterday as they were hanging around most of the day whilst OH went to work.

    They went out last night (the real reason they visited) so OH and I went to the gym. I did around 30 minutes in total. I just kept looking around thinking the people there didn't know how lucky they were that their bodies allowed them to work out the way they were. Appreciate your lungs people!!

    OH and his parents had a Chinese last night (that they paid for - last of the big spenders), but I just had a pasta meal.

    Saved a little hedgehog from getting run over last night too. Took him down to the woods at the end of our road and set him free. Such a cute little thing.

    Better get some actual work done today I guess. Got to chase up that flaming iNeb too as I still haven't heard anything from a rep and the message I left on Monday has gone unreturned. What a bad company to be dealing with something so important :naughty:
