    Thanks Beanie. Takeaway was good :):)

    Day 17/28, 13 NSD's, Prolific £19.41 cleared, £2.10 pending.....still :( Cash £16.30 for 15th-21st Feb

    Spent a little bit yesterday but not half as much as I thought as hubby paid me back for a few bits he asked me to get, so I'm left with £16.30.

    Had a lovely evening celebrating DD's birthday with a takeaway. We used to have one nearly every weekend but it got to the point where it wasn't a treat, just another meal, so we stopped doing it. Which means the handful we have every year, usually for birthday's, are back to the treat they're supposed to be. I made a point of setting the table up nicely and we spent a couple of hours sat there chatting. This afternoon I'm bringing Mum down for sandwiches and homemade birthday cake.

    Just gone through my diary for the week - another habit I'm trying to get into. Apart from taking Mum and my niece shopping one morning where I'll give her £5 to spend, there's nothing else I can see that I need to buy.

    Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. xx

    K - I have really sensitive skin but only on my face. Weirdly I can use anything on my neck down. I'd definitely say give it a go but we're all different so no taking me to the small claims court if you come out all blotchy ;)

    Hope you enjoyed the takeaway treat!

    I sometimes email the researcher if they take longer than a week to approve and they generally respond and it gives them a rocket up the butt to approve. Might be worth a go if you've been waiting ages on this one?

    Morning HG :) I've just checked and I'm still waiting. I only need the 2 little ones to clear :mad: I'll see what the state of play is later on today and then I'll give them a gentle nudge. Didn't realise you could do that, so thanks. :)

    Now, can anybody help me. I thought I was going mad thinking I'd subscribed to diaires then realising no notifications were coming through but over the past few days quite a few have stopped coming through. I do it on e-mail alert. Does anybody know why that would be happening?

    Back later to do my daily update, not that it will be an exciting read. :rotfl:

    Have a great day everybody. xx

    Thanks K, I'll have a look later on. Yours is one of the diaries I'd subscribed to then I realised you were posting and I wasn't getting notifications so thought I hadn't done, but I have. :o

    Now some of the diaries I've been subscribing to for weeks have stopped coming through. xx

    I don't get emails either, I just go to CP and it shows me all the threads I've subscribed to with the recently updated ones at the top.

    I'm glad you enjoyed your takeway for DD's birthday, I agree that they're nicer when they're a treat.

    I hope your little PA surveys get approved soon :).

    It depends on what type of notifications you have subscribed to eg instant, daily, weekly.
