Sorry to hog the thread, Emz, but just had to say I've this minute completed a 50 point survey for YouGov (which took me to 5040 points) and have clicked the 'Redeem' button:j:j:j:j:j:j.

I know you had a payout recently but I recall it took a while to come:(. Can you remember how long it took, please? Seriously strapped for cash after paying my Car Tax (£180:() and Car Insurance renewal. Being on a DMP I have no credit cards nowadays:o:mad:. The YouGov £50 will be a lifesaver.

Well done on finally getting there!!

I redeemed on the 21st May and received on the 13th June, so it took just over 3 weeks.

Thanks for the info, Emz:T. YouGov says it is within 28 days and your experience means it's true. I've learned not to believe everything some of these survey sites promise.

To cheer you up a bit (re: Andy), just thought I'd post a remark made by Judy Murray to Radio5Live:

"I'm sure he'll be back. As they say, form is temporary, class is permanent."

Never a truer word IMO

Thanks CBC. Still a bit miffed about yesterday. I guess it stands to reason that I get elated when he wins and deflated when he loses. I think I'll be able to enjoy tennis more when he retires!!

My OH told me not to come home the next time he loses!! :rotfl:

I know exactly what you mean, Emz:T

I'm quite a football fan and I mentioned to OH before the World Cup even started that I always enjoy it more once England have been knocked out. Not being a sports fan he hadn't a clue what I meant:rotfl:. These last few days I've been royally entertained by some wonderful matches with teams I previously had no interest in.

I agree CBC. My DH is however supporting belgium. This is because he has them in the work sweep!

I've enjoyed watching Belgium. For a small country that does'nt seem to hit the sporting headlines much they are a revelation. They've put England's overrated players to shame:(.

Morning

Sorry I haven't posted for a few days.

OH took me to London on Saturday (he gets free tickets). I spent some of my birthday money on a coat (was £65, got it for £30) and a top (£14 - both from Jane Norman). We then had lunch at Hard Rock (bit overrated if you ask me). I also ordered a couple of tops from the Jane Norman website (£20 each), so I think that's my birthday money pretty much spent now.

Yesterday was quiet - watched the tennis. So glad Djokovic won. Anyone but Federer.

The bed fund has bitten the dust. My OH got a bonus this month, so went ahead and ordered it as he said I was taking too long (he's right - I was!!). So I've spent the Amazon money I had on my nephew's birthday present (a see-saw).

I'm not doing that well with my questions this month, mainly because I've earned money elsewhere. It has been really quiet on there anyway. Might try and earn another £10 today on there.

I'm off to the beach with my sister and the kids in a bit. My niece has an inset day, so it will be good to get down there before the school holidays start. We're going to have a Wimpy meal too

Hi everyone - hectic week here.

My uncle got rushed into hospital with pneumonia. Looked very serious there for a while (he has other health problems too). He is basically the closest thing I have to a dad now (he's my godfather and I was bridesmaid for him and my aunt) so I was very scared for a bit, especially given that my dad died of pneumonia. He is on the mend now thankfully.

Anyway, we're going to see OH's parents today, so I'm just doing my nebuliser and then we're off. I'll post more later.
