    Morning and happy Saturday, one of my favourite days of the week.

    Thanks HI for the survey suggestions, I'll have a look at the ones I'm not already connected to.

    Hairy, YouGov doesn't work for me any more but I never really got on with it in the first place.

    PA is slowly creeping up, but it's painfully slow, I'm usually on at least £12 by now but that's ok, it'll just take a bit longer.

    VO is definitely strange, clicked on a £1 survey and it came up with a message thanking me for doing the survey and credited my account with a £1? I also did one for 50p so I'm half way to my next voucher

    No OP surveys yet this morning, I'll keep checking but I think it'll be Monday before I cash out. Got to wait 28 days then, I assume they're working days? If so it'll be mid December before its paid in. Will make a nice bumper payment then :)

    I've had a notification about two PB surveys, so I'll have a look at them later.

    So what has this weekend got in store?
    • Washing
    • Ironing
    • Food shop
    • Change the smoke detector battery to stop it beeping
    • Count up change
    • Make lasagne for dinner
    • Dye my hair....looking like a witch again :rotfl:

    Hopefully DH will help me sort the air pressure in my tyre, I really should learn how to do it :o

    I've been thinking about things a lot recently and from where we were years ago to where we are now, I think we've changed, but I think it's a good change.
  • Sounds like a busy day!

    You're doing well on the surveys :D

    There's also e rewards that's nectar surveys and you get nectar points. Someone on here recommended it and it seems well! I've got £6 in nectar points this week x

    Thanks Hun, I like the sound of that one, I'll have a look later x
  • Just had a thought, I'd better change all my nectar points up for vouchers this weekend too.

    Well done on the surveys. Glad to hear things have changed over the years in a good way.

    The nectar double up starts on the 8th November I think.

    Have a lovely day x

    Thanks, may be worth hanging on. I've got £92 worth :D
  • Been to Reading and bought bits that we needed, also got my mum and step dads Christmas present. Mum has an M&S voucher in the drawer upstairs so just need to get my step dad something then all parents and nieces/nephews are done.

    Been grocery shopping, spent a lot but we have enough for the next two weeks, so just need top up bits next week and I shouldn't need to go shopping tomorrow.

    Just having a cuppa then I'm making the bolognaise for the lasagne for tonight.
  • Forgot DH changed the smoke alarm battery, we had one so I didn't need to buy one and he also sorted out my car tyre.
