    Helloooo,

    I didnt want to do chat lines either as OH didnt want me to however he has come round to the idea that text chat isnt as bad so im looking to do that to earn extra cash.

    Sorry to hear about your miscarriages, i have been pregnant 12 times over the last 12 years and have 3 children but miscarried the rest of them....Hope you reach your goal.

    Thanks Nemo. Hubbie really doesnt want me to do the text chat and I am not too keen either. I would love to do be a text researcher, I applied for AQA and I dont have excel so couldnt complete the application form and I could pass the textperts test.

    I have the pearl barley simmering away for tonights tea. 2 Pork steaks @57p each with pear; barley and butternut squash risotto. Bargain and filling.

    After a lengthy chat with hubby today we think that perhaps NY isnt the best idea as it is not exactly a relaxing holiday and we have already been twice. Then there is the extra amount to pay to get to heathrow and possibly stay there overnight. So now we are thinking about Malta for 1 week. I think it seems a better choice really as at least we will come back refreshed and relaxed and ir will cost half the price. We need new carpets and want to get the loft floored and if we were to spend £2K on a jolly there is no chance these would get done this year. We also have a few weddings that involve travelling up and down the UK this year.

    I am still aiming for as much as possible but it is good to know that I may only need 849.40

    Thanks for your support

    I am certain the spreadsheet in open office can open and save excel files. Once opened I think you may need to "Save As" and choose the excel option, otherwise it may save in it's own format.

    http://www.openoffice.org/

    It's free so will only cost you time.

    Thanks for that.:beer:

    It is so long along that I did it I will have to apply again.

    Nemo I am not sure of the addresses but just search on here as this is where I found them.

    I will probably try and apply for them both again next weekend when I have some time. Good Luck Nemo

    I don't know how quick this would be for you but slice the pie might help if you don't mind music its slow starting out but it brings in some money

    Thanks Miss P. I am with slicethepie and had made around £2.40. I was quite enjoying it but now my computer has decided it doesnt like it and throws me off when ever I go on. ggrrrrrrr

    Today I have done my daily clicks and made £1.14 - Thanks to a survey.

    I have also not bought a paper the last two days saving £1.20 and I found two unfranked stamps when I was opening the mail. Woo hoo.

    I am about to soak a load of aduki beans we have had in the cupboard to make aduki bean chilli for tomorrows tea. Very cheap.

  • Are aduki beans nice ?

    They are yummy in something - Dont think they would be too nice on their own - a bit bland.

    Nothing money saving or making today, no energy.
