    Hi Jen

    I have sent 3 F&F letters. I heard back from the first one, they offered about 75% so i wrote back and said 30% again, the 2nd ones replied, completly ignored the F&F bit and sent me payment slips for the full amount :rolleyes: , havent heard from the last one.

    You know, i think i may have to shoot off to bed.

    Hope u get shot of that headache amy.
    yeah jen it just looks like surveys but some u can only answer if you have certain circumstances eg a mum or live in a certain area, i suppose thats why you dont get screened out which is a much more sensible idea i think! being screened out really pees me off!

    night amy-hope you feel better after a nights sleep.
    yeah it looks good jen,even if there are only 2 a day for 10p each thats not a bad amount in the long run!
    I am sooo skint, was v bad and had a mcdonalds for luch today at work,everyone else had one and i couldnt resist the smell from the staff room-our shop is 2 minutes from mcdonalds and a chipshop...bad!! i have got 4 quid in my wallet and a fiver in the bank to last me til the monday after next, and i think i'll need petrol...oh dear! am going to sell minimags on sunday and thats £25 quid but wanted that to come off debt. spose i'll have to keep it to one side in case i need petrol and then minus it off next months spends when i get paid. hopefully will only need a tenner.

    22 watchers blimey!! i reckon there will be a mad rush at the last minute, at least with that amount of people you should be able to do a second chance offer even if the first bidder doesnt work out. still-you've got to be due some good ebay luck so fingers crossed!!

    been looking at MINIS online, i can get a reasonable spec one for £6000, so am allowing £5500 as prices will drop, so in a few years the same year model with higher spec should be less(does that make sense??!!! lol)
    if i can save £150 ish per month that will take me 3 years. not too bad. obviously thats without any extra cash i can make..oh dear here we go again..no escape from quidco and surveys!!
