Reality Check...

Aww that's a shame, HSCB have a £150 for switching and a further £50 if you stay (not sure of the length of time) that's also a great deal!

Logged into Prolific Accademic, done one survey, found out I have a balance on the account so currently at £33.24/£239.99 for the suitcase! xxx

The HSBC one is the one I'm trying to persuade DH to switch to! It could work very well for us (I don't earn enough to qualify on wages alone: I'd have to take money out and pay it back in which means I'd have to be organised... ).

I think you might need to do another survey or two... so far you have a corner of a suitcase.

I don’t seem to be getting any surveys on prolific academic whatsoever it’s driving me crazy as I was doing so well. Also reality if you download the app shoppix and you take pictures of receipts it awards you coins which you can exchange for vouchers. Takes a while to build up but you’re literally uploading a receipt. The suitcase is gorgeous!

Glad to hear Baby Reality is back to her peaceful self! Also well done on the bank switch.

Suitcase is great and I will definitely know it’s you next time I’m at Manchester Airport!:rotfl:

Re surveys - I’m currently stuck at £6.35 on PA and the others are taking ages to build up........:(

I am glad too! She stayed with OH mum and dad last night, first time she's been away!! It was wonderful to have a hot bath, eat a hot dinner and a full nights interupted sleep!! Going to clean the house and get organised for the weekend/pack for going away. We are off to Glasgow this weekend for a wedding and then off to Tennerife next week.

My surveys aren't going well, not because I don't get them (well I wouldn't know!) because I don't log in! Must try harder....£40.73/£239.99

I have also made a tiny bit of money from my Instagram account, I am wanting to put a lot more effort into this and try make some money....basically for the last year I have been uploading pictures of my house/cleaning/pregnancy/outfit posts and I have quite a good amount of people following me...it is all down to my friend who is quite a famous WAG :rotfl: she hates me calling her that, but it's what she is lol and she tagged me in one of her posts earlier in the year and suddenly a lot of people who follow her started to follow me and it has grown since! When I say I have made money, it is a teeny tiny amount, through affliliated links on a product I love and the company got in touch with me, but I think my earning potential online could grow...I'd love it to anyway! I don't know much about it, but I am going to make an effort to look into it...if anyone knows anything about this please feel free to let me know! xxx

Aww thanks Monz, how kind of you! We don't really have a plan, which is either better or worse sometimes, just going with the flow. Looking forward to the wedding and the spa treatment, had a look online and we have booked a restaurant The Anchor Line, been looking at the menu and food and cocktails all sound so good! Really looking forward to the weekend away. Off to get my eyebrows threaded and tinted to look presentable again! Been trying to hold off so long, so they are looking good for the weekend but they are in desperate need now! Going to dye my hair tonight, slap on some fake tan - back to good old trusty Xen tan and lasts about 5 days looking good so much easier to maintain and going to use the gel lamp on my nails.

Having a roast dinner tonight, can't wait been craving it since I never made one on Sunday, and prosecco is chilling in the fridge for a night on the couch eating all the Halloween chocolate I bought and only 4 kids turned up! We are going to start watching the new Netflix program Mindhunter. Hope you all have good weekends whatever you do xxx

Enjoy your weekend away. Sounds fab!

Well done on the Instagram as well! I’m not even on Facebook - I’m that un-social media!:D

Are you not SSG, you're not missing out on fb but get yourself on Instagram, it is great for home decor inspiration, beauty, food, travel....everything!

I am still in Glasgow, and in the dog house! I am so so hungover!! Mr Reality said last night "You drink, I'll have a few, I'm not that bothered....' I quote him, so....that's what I did! Someone had to be responsible for a baby, and he offered! He left the wedding about half 11, I stayed to the end and then went out with my new found Glaswegian wedding friends, great at the time, not so great now! This isn't what he's annoyed at....he said (I slightly remember) came bursting into the room singing and being annoying, woke the baby up, woke him up and then just passed out on the bed and fell asleep whilst him and the was sleeping now wide awake :eek::rotfl: Woke up this morning, eye make up smeared all my face etc...not the best look, haven't been sick, but every movement makes me think I want to throw up!! I also had to delete some instastories where I clearly thought it was funny at the time to upload videos of myself speaking in theeee worst attempt of a Scottish accent!! (maybe don't get Instagram after all SSG).

Anyway, he is smugly away making use of the gym in the hotel, I feel a lot more human after having a bath, just need to slap on some make up and man up! We are here another day and night so going to make the most of it.

Hope you've all had great weekends and feel a lot fresher this morning than I do! On the MSE things it has been a frugal weekend for me as I have just been using OH's bank card! xxx
