Good thinking ! I have joined some new sites so after work today , I start in earnest ! It probably helps that the forecast says rain and snow this week - I should be good to stay in surveying ! Thanks hun.

Well I've been to work , walked the dog and topped up the bird feeders. I thought I would crack on and do some surveys whilst I eat my fruit and then it's exercise, bath and take the dog out again . That was the plan but so far I have screened out of 1 panelbase survey, 1 GlobalTestMarket one and completed a 10p 1 question one from OnePoll.

I am debating cancelling my facial appointment at the college on Thursday . It is only £12.50 and I have never had one before but it is about £20 including bus fare that could go in the savings fund instead . I'm not sure, husband wants me to go but it is quite a tight week and seems a bit wasteful to me .

Hopefully this afternoon is a bit more profitable, I'm going to make a cuppa to bring me luck lol! ;D

So much for my lucky cuppa! I have just tried to sign up for WhatUsersDo but because I started signing up yesterday before realising I was on my laptop which has no microphone , it's taking ages. My Java is out of date so needs new one installed , old one removed , now I have to restart the browser . Argh!
The good news is I have managed to change the kids dentist appointments to the same day and got my £10 Orchard meat vouchers in the post too! So I kinda saved a tenner whilst I was waiting ! ;D

I got the Orchard meat vouchers through today as well. Great to have free meat. :)
We are going to Tesco on Wednesday so the timing is perfect. :)

I think that might be the easiest option . I have installed the newest Java , uninstalled the old Java and it still says it's wrong . My laptop is much more up to date so if I add a mic to that it should work fine.

I had a lovely bath and took the dog out for a walk under very black clouds. I have only managed 15 minutes exercise apart from the dog walking today so need to do better tomorrow.

My grand totals today are: 35 points GTM , 25p OnePoll, £1.65 overtime , £10 Orchard voucher and £5 for 50 posts in Paypal. If I count the Orchard voucher it's a very good day - if I don't it was rubbish lol! It's made better by husband getting given a £10 Christmas tip late today at work ! That makes it a pretty good start to the week! ;D

WooHoo! I spoke too soon - I have just earnt another 40p on Panelbase and 35p on OnePoll . Every little helps eh ! I am just going to do a post on Milk The Blog and then I had better get on with cooking my 40p pork chops for tea ! That last 75p has cheered me right up - especially now I have my soaps to look forward to! ;D

OMG What a day! The scooter wouldn't start this morning so I had to cycle after trying to kick start it for 10 minutes, so I was half an hour late . At work the boss collared me and asked if I can start doing an hour extra every day in a months time which is great!!
On the way home I stopped because I spotted someone's chickens out in the road and managed to rip the sole off the front of my shoe and tear my waterproof trousers . I have got home and walked the dog , come online to discover I have absolutely no surveys today . At least I have cancelled Thursdays facial so I have a saving of £12.50 and future increased earnings even if nothing else today .
Tonight is library night too so I may get some new magazines for free ! What an up and down day though ! ;D

Way Hey ! husband fixed my scooter so I flew to work and back today - partially because of the gale force winds ! Got home and took the dog out for a walk and got caught in a rain storm , typical. Got absolutely soaked through so had a cereal bar and did a couple of OnePoll surveys before I did some exercise .
I have had a couple of PanelBase surveys , a couple of GlobalTestMarket and a couple of OnePoll ones so far today . No MySurvey ones which is a shame as I am only about 70 points short of my next £5 and no reply from EDigital either . I didn't even manage to get 15 minutes overtime today because I was worried about the dog getting freaked out by the gale and eating the shelves, skirting boards etc!
My grand total so far today is about 45p OnePoll, 70 points GTM and 110 points PanelBase. Not spectacular but I'll hopefully get more through later . :D

That isn't a bad start at all. Stick with it.
Hopefully you will hear from edigital soon. That is a really good earner.
A nice regular boost to income.
Surveys are a bit unpredictable but you will find over time which ones are the best for you earning wise. I have done surveys for awhile now and stick with the ones that are worth my time and have dumped a few in the past that weren't worth it.
It is great when you start to reach payout and can request your earnings. :)

Well I have had another 4 OnePoll surveys , a couple of GTM ones and discovered that I could get a £3 Paypal cash out from MySurvey rather than keep hanging on for the extra points . I cashed out £5 with them a week ago so I want to try and build it up to at least another £3 one for next week. I am slowly getting there!
I haven't heard from eDigital but I am a third of the way to cashing out on OnePoll and two thirds on GTM so it's all good!
The house is full of the smell of sausage casserole in the slow cooker and it is very cold outside so I am going to have a quick polish of the front room whilst the kids do their homework and then hunker down for the night - I may well be cycling in the morning ! :-\

Hiya all! We have had precisely 1 cm of snow here that came down in the fastest, shortest snow storm ever! Hopefully that will be it and I will be able to scooter to work tomorrow not cycle .
Today got off to a great start when the scooter started ! Always a good sign - my boss then asked if I could start doing 3/4- 1 hour extra every day from Monday ! Yay ! I thought it wouldn't be until next month so that is a major result . Then I got accepted by EMystery shopper too. What a great start to earning a bit more today has been!
I made about 80p on OnePoll surveys and about 110 points from GTM , it all counts eh . Nothing from PanelBase or MySurvey today though.
The college phoned and I re-booked my facial for next month to celebrate my increased hours -oops spending to celebrate isn't a great idea!
Off to make cannelloni now with my half price pasta and some yellow sticker mince ! ;D

Hiya all! Long day at work today and very busy too. Only made £1.85 in tips though but got 5 hours overtime ! Made about 60 points on GTM and 35p on OnePoll and another 70p on PanelBase since I've been home.
Absolutely knackered though but glad it's the weekend ! Off to the library tomorrow and looking at scooters if the weather is okay - otherwise will just take the dog for a nice long walk.
husband wants to finish digging the pond and I'll sort my strawberries out if it's dry , otherwise we only have the shopping on Sunday planned.
A lovely quiet weekend and husband is cooking tonight - Bliss! ;D

One of the kids birthdays today so that has cleared out the wages for this week ! The yellow sticker shopping was not great today as a new group of 3 people tag-teamed and elbowed so no-one else got anything . It's a shame as two people who shop the sell-bys are carers for the elderly and the other are a lovely couple with only a pension to live on . I don't realise how civilised and fair we all normally are until someone comes along who isn't ! They actually snatched things out of the shop assistants hands too! Still got the shopping including a birthday cake for under £60 and luckily I keep my freezer pretty stocked ! ::)

Tesco have loads of their hot chocolates and hot drinks reduced to clear at the moment so I got the kids hot chocolate , hot peanut drink and , for me, instant chai latte ! Yummy! They has loads of different types so I think 3 was pretty restrained really . If I hadn't been saving I'd have filled the drink cupboard up like a coffee shop.

Finally got my ornamental cherry pruned this week but with my extra hours at work I have got hardly anything else done .
I am 17 points short of £30 on GTM but may let it build up more before cashing out rather than try and build it up again . I have to earn another couple of quid on PanelBase and another £22 on OnePoll . Hopefully I will be able to cash something decent out for each towards the scooter. This weeks birthday has set me back a bit but now it is full steam ahead on saving !

Whoop! Whoop! ;D

WooHoo! I have cashed out £35 global test market , £10 panelbase, about £12 my survey and have got an extra hour a week at work! Very pleased ! Paid the deposit on the scooter so it's full steam ahead now to pay it off by march ! All the hard work building everything up has started paying off at once now and it is getting much more positive . Still a way to go on OnePoll though lol! ;D

Well this weekend we actually pay for the scooter ! I didn't use most survey earnings for it in the end as , apart from 1 tenner from Panelbase , it all went in Paypal . I did buy the motorbike boots , a phone and case from my other child through Ebay though and still have some left in Paypal. I am getting near cashing out on OnePoll and have started doing Valued Opinions too now. I am going to keep surveying to save up for holidays and Christmas now as I tend to do most of that shopping on Ebay anyway .
It has been pretty quiet for surveys the last couple of days but it's still a better use of my spare time than sitting reading the internet used to be !

;D
