    what are luncheon vouchers? how do you get them and how do they work? thanks jenny

    Hi Jenny,

    I normally get them for completing surveys/product testing for Pinecone. I've been with them for about 2 years now but was introduced by another member. I think it's quite hard to be a member and have to wait until they recruit.
    Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
    Boots points: £0.28
    Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)
    Mutual points: 3417 (redeemed 8250)

    Well i have to admit i've had limited success today as i haven't achieved many of the things i had set out to do. I just don't seem to be able to find the motivation to do this assignment and am justing having one of those days where i wish i could just stop the clock and pause the world for a while so i can catch up with my thoughts. I don't have many days like this, but hopefully back to it tomorrow and that positive mental attitude.

    Glad others have had a good day though and are working hard to get there.

    andan - we all have days like that sometimes, I know I do!!

    I haven't done much DFW stuff today really...
    - Did 2 MS jobs and filed reports
    - Free lunch & dinner from MS job 1
    - Spent over 6 hours painting shed & fences in the garden today - free exercise? Am exhausted anyway! Couldn't believe it took so long and I'm not done yet. It's not a big garden either!! Cheaper than replacing ugly fences anyway and shed is pretty now. :)
    - Did buy fence spraying equipment to help me finish off next weekend, but will ebay it afterwards, should get most of the money back.
    - Am finally sitting down now with a glass of wine to relax a bit before it's back to a busy day of work.
