    Whoops, forgot to post last night. Got caught up in watching Andy Murray win and then we went to the pub. Only cost us £10 and OH paid. He's off to Thruxton today to watch some racing. It's costing him £12 to get in, but I think the peace and quiet I'll have is worth it ;).

    Didn't get much done yesterday, felt really tired for some reason. Must do better today.

    Happy Easter everyone

    Got myself 4 eggs, including a big Cadburys one :EasterBun. The kids liked their presents and we're watching my niece's DVD as I type (Paddington).

    Haven't been up to much MSE wise, but I am just £8 away from getting a payout of £50 on New Vista.

    I've also ordered this from Amazon. Just need to get my Giff Gaff sim card activated, but will have to wait until Wednesday.

    Also picked up 5.75 hours overtime on tuesday, so I've got 8.25 hours lined up for next week (just under £60 extra).

    Sounds as if you are having a lovely day, Emz. Let's hope Andy finishes it off in style:beer:

    Great going being so close to a £50 payout from New Vista:T. I stopped doing theirs ages ago as I was always being screened out:(. Am fast approaching a £50 payout from one survey company myself (can't recall which at the moment:o) and £20 from another (their minimum redemption level) so am feeling reasonably cheerful despite finding some of them so mind-numbingly boring. Even YouGov seems to have perked up with the frequency of invites and at least they never screen me out. It's a long time between £50 payouts though:(

    Go Andy!

    Hi CBC :)

    This is the best I've seen Andy play against Djokovic for a while - fingers crossed he can turn it around after losing that tie-break. At least he's guaranteed to go back up to 3rd in the rankings tomorrow.
