    Morning Beanie :) Book yourself an appointment, you're worth it. :)

    Day 3/31, Prolific 30p cleared, £5.40 pending, Spends 1st-7th May £30

    Had a nice little survey this morning which paid me £1.70 and gave me £1.90 bonus, so I can cash out AGAIN when it's cleared :D

    Looking forward to the Bank Holiday weekend, not that having an extra day off affects me, but I get to lie in on Monday with school being closed - and I do love my lie-ins. :rotfl:

    Had a look at the library for tomorrow and there's a story time on at 11am but that's when we'll be picking the little one up so will miss it. :o Really hoping the weather is OK as I quite fancy feeding the lambs myself :)

    Hope you all have a lovely day. xx

    Afternoon Tea :)

    Happy new hair and happy Friday :D I got a few surveys this morning on PA too! I didn't get the bonus though I don't know what I did wrong :rotfl:

    Hope you have a lovely weekend

    I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong WB :D It was a gamble thing so it could have gone either way. They gave me £1 and I bet 60p on something and won £1.90. TBH they gave some mathematical scenario which I didn't understand so I just plumped for a number :rotfl: xx

    The cinema is really expensive and I always take snacks with us and don't bother hiding them. I do love seeing a film on the big screen. I'm skipping endgame and letting hubby take them! That's a £9 saving! I've got free ticket for hubby so will just have to pay for the kids.

    PA does seems to have picked up again and I'm sat with £4.23 cleared and another £2 odd pending. Annoying I'm 15p away from £25 payout with 1poll. I'm nearly at £10 each on RH and shoppix. I'm being really strict and it's all going into my sealed pot challenge for Xmas.

    Afternoon CG :) They started checking bags for snacks at our cinema but I'm talking a few years ago. I don't think they bother these days from what DD has said.

    Fingers crossed your survey monies clear soon. With that and the shopping points that's quite a bit you'll have for the Christmas pot :T xx

    Afternoon :)

    Day 5/31, Prolific 30p cleared, £6.15 pending Spends £22

    Weather was dry but really cold yesterday so we passed on the farm. Instead we popped into town and I bought a plant pot and some bits and bobs the little one picked up. Hubby bought the compost I need but I'm leaving the pots for a week or so just in case the predicted frost/snow makes an appearance. :o

    I've been to church, baked a cake for tea and I'm either going to do some cross stitch or find a film to watch this afternoon. Then it's Line of Duty tonight. I'm dying to find out who 'H' is.

    I'm pretty sure I will have good news to report regarding the CC tomorrow but just need to double check a couple of things first before I make the official statement :rotfl:

    Hope you all have a good day. Xx

    That sounds exciting with regard to the credit card :D.

    I want to watch Line of Duty too but we've been waiting for it to finish so we can binge watch it one epsiode every evening. It's to exciting to wait a week between episodes :).

    Are you hoping to go to the farm tomorrow instead? It's about 14 degrees here, you wouldn't think we lived in the same country!

    Enjoy the rest of your day :).

    Hi HHD - It's quite funny how excited I actually am about the CC :D

    I prefer watching things in one go as well. We've only recently discovered Line Of Duty so have binge watched it from series 1 over the past few weeks. I tend to forget story lines really quickly so there's no way I'd have remembered what was happening from years ago :rotfl:

    No, no farm visit tomorrow but maybe next time we see the little one, it's not an every week occurrence.

    Just been reading about your shed being unpacked and hubby pondering the instructions. ;) Fingers crossed it will be up soon :) xx

    I cannot wait to find out who H is!

    It's not been the warmest of weekends as it :eek:

    Excited about the credit card for you! Hope you've had a lovely day
