    I missed the £7 one too :( I have had two £1.25 ones this morning though which is something at least. I'm up at £25 on Onepoll...just another £15 to go until cash out! I should achieve that by Christmas :)

    3 weeks until payday :(!!! awww hurry up.

    Nothing to add getting back into our routine again. Kids are back to school next Thursday (finally!)

    Bit of a boring post. Over halfway for next voucher for VO. When I get £10 can cash out for a boots voucher for my mum :) xx

    Nice to see you're making progress with your survey sites. I was screened out of at least 5 on VO yesterday! The thing that annoys me about them is that you'll answer a good 5-10 questions, spending quite a bit of time then it'll STILL screen out! It drives me mad! I feel like saying, you've just got half of my data and wasted my time!

    I can't believe how quickly the summer has gone this year - my little guy starts school next Thursday so i'm not willing it to go as quickly as most returners! :)

    I'm also three weeks away from pay day...humph.

    Wow Monz that looks lovely! Kitchen is amazing!
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭
