New thread for us all to chat, support each other and hopefully save some money!!

You have to massage the truth for surveys. I always put income £50k, one child under 4, one car a Mercedes, main earner a degree qualified professional, occasional smoker. Supermarket Aldi & Tesco.

They say they want a broad spectrum of respondents but I have a theory they want middle class people with disposable income.

Aw thanks guys

seacow they look amazing!!! I'd have done the same - brown smarties would have spoiled everything.

Stopped into see dm and ddad. Dm has taken to calling me three or four times a day to make sure I'm ok. Apparently I can't be left on my own. Ddad offered to do my shopping for me today until he found out what I bought in boots then he went all strange.

Back home now. Have done washing, put washing away, made bed, washed up and am now settled on the couch watching dexter.

Dh just text and asked whether baby had made an appearance yet. had to disappoint him.

fluffy amazing thank you! I used to do those but fell of the survey wagon

seacow they are awesome!

em not long to go now though and put your feet up!

collie

Feet are up. Windows are open. Sun is coming in.

They look the biz but it is hard not to over or undercook them because the dough is so dark, so they may taste crap. All fur coat and no knickers should have piped knickers on them

They look amazing Seacow and you were absolutely right about eating the brown smarties.

Those gingerbread people are amazing!
And I am so glad to have other people in leggings. Living rurally I have no need of smart clothes any more (standards slipping fast!) so any outfit made of stretchy fabric is a winner for me. slob

Yay I have an interview booked in 2 weeks. The job has been advertised for ages and they replied to me within 30 minutes. It was advertised as full time but I mentioned part time in my covering letter I just wanted to be honest and upfront. Either they didn't read it OR they read it but they're flexible.

My experience is very specific and matches the business perfectly. Mustn't get too excited though.

Successful NSD although I have a repeat prescription for anti sickness meds. I need a pre pay prescription thingy as it can easily get expensive with a chronic illness.

Jacket potatoes for tea!

Today has been a long day

Oooo [quietly] gets excited for collie

It's been a long week I think. Beef casserole and mini roasties for dinner.

collie yay! Good luck for the interview.

I've had a bit of a nap. Said to dh last night that this part of leave sort of feels like a hybrid of sick leave and holiday. I know I can go out and do stuff but am scared something will happen...! Haha!

Ooh that sounds promising Collie. Good luck!

Em what sort of births did your mum have? There can be quite a link.

I need to do some matched betting but need to remind myself what I'm doing and it seems like too much effort

Good luck Collie

£5 in from erewards & £1 from a field agent survey.

Hi all, not keeping up very well i'm afraid.

Had a shocking day at work, the worst in quite a while very stressful and tiring. Meant to be going out tonight but not sure can be arsed.

£33 petrol
70p sweet money for dd

I'm posting & running I don't feel up to going out but I'm going to anyhow so gotta shower blow dry my pixie head find some makeup & get back on the road in 30 mins!

Oh no girlie hope everything's ok?

I don't think I can afford to do the matched betting. I just don't have any spare money for my liability.

wreck I asked her this the other day. Apparently with me I was on my due date. Her waters broke at around 3pm. Dad came home from work hen had dinner went to hospital and I was born at 930.

With my sister it was quicker. Around 4 hours start to finish.

Midwife has said there could be similarities. That's what we're hoping for.

Wait till payday Wreck, £50 is enough. You never lose the money so you can withdraw at anytime.

It is payday I lost my coral free bet because I didn't use it in time

Omg falafals were super easy. Yay! I didn't need the back up m&s ones! Used Yotem Ottolenghi's recipe. So authentic Israeli falafals. Mmmmm.

Hurrah - I had saved enough vouchers from doing online surveys for something nice.
Boo- I had to spend them on a new printer and some ink as my printer broke.
Win some lose some! (but at least I didn't have to spend actual cash on a boring bit of IT kit!)

Customer services might re-issue it, email them.

Fuzzy yep, always happens to me too. Not fair is it.

I took back my denim jeggings fromTu they were just too tight at the knee (i dont have fat knees btw) replaced them with dark red 'moose trousers' in my usual size.. love them so much I changed into them when i got into work and have worn them all day.

I still have them on .. they are so comfortable.. I think i might order the navy ..

laksa those trousers are nice but I'm slightly disappointed. I was envisioning moose trousers as something like these...

Those trousers are lovely Laska. Why didn't I see them in Sainsbury's yesterday?

Hope everything is ok, Girlie?
