Christmas presents finished 16th December Pandora

So its nearly Christmas and I've finally brought all my pressies for the Mrs so thought I'd run through the list give any of you some ideas if your struggling!

Pandora rings using the 'build a ring' option on the website, absolutely brilliant if you ask me would highly recommend it, chose three small rings that build a full size ring! One is a ring made up of small silver hearts, one is a silver band with a dark rose on the front and a small gold heart behind it for a bit of colour and the third is another band set with cubic zirkonias! Looks lovely and a different option to buying a standard run of the mill ring!

Pandora charm for her bracelet (sparkly amethyst one as its birthstone for February)

Channel cocco mamoiselle perfume gift set.

White chocolate tobelerone.

Paris bracelet with alternate beige and white stones. Also with matching beige earrings all from Ernest Jones.

Macadamia hair shampoo and conditioner set, if your girl loves her hair this stuff is amazing!

Lanscome hypnotise dream mascar.

Davidoff cool water for women perfume set. Guys this smells awesome by the way!

Various small buts and pieces to make up a little stocking for her to open on xmas morning!

Hope this gives you some ideas and hipe she likes them ;) can't wait for christmas.

First snow of the winter wednesday 05 December

Woke up this morning greeted by a thick frost encasing my car, time to get some use out of the old scraper.....luckily I had brought a soft grip handle one from Tesco a few weeks back and oh my god it works a treat!

Got to work late which I blamed on the frost and after having had no emails whatsoever regarding any predicted snowfall looked out of the window only to see a full on blizzard. Luckily this only lasted a few minutes and although it layed on the ground disappeared as quickly as it had fallen. Now being childish I absolutely love the snow but not when you work in logistics oh no. It causes havoc on the roads and more often than not ends up with me recieving phone call after phone call from drivers who apparently are snowed in! Cheecky gits.

Actually had a fairly good day considering the weather conditions and returned home to find some of my latest online christmas shopping had been delivered.....thrown over my 6 foot high side gate! Normally I would complain about this mode of delivery but on further enquiry realised it was my own company that had delivered this so thought better of it!

Looking forward to snuggling up on the sofa with the mrs and the pets infront of the fire tonight, winter always makes staying in doors more cosy in my opinion.

Paid online surveys consumer opinions

December 03rd 2012:

While trawling through the hundreds of random emails I get each day I came across one from a company called 'consumer-opinion.com' inviting me to fill out questionaires and surveys online for money!

I immediately assumed these would be the sort of 5 day long surveys for a few pence but to my surprise I registered with the company and only a few hours later received an invite to take part in a general survey! This took me approximately 3 minutes to complete and earnt me 5 pounds!

Before you all start thinking what your hourly rate would work out as, be aware that you can only fill in surveys they send you so unfortunately you can't pick and choose and end up making hundreds of pounds a day! The surveys are sent to you depending on your initial answers so they should be relative to yourself, at the moment I only get one or two a week but for me thats awesome, extra 10er for ten mins work.

You certainly wont get rich quick with this but its a good little extra every now and then, have a go yourself and let me know what you think and if any of you actually make a living out of this I'd love to learn how you do it :)!

Search for consumer opinions or paid online surveys and register its that simple!

So back to my journal hehe, apart from the above has been fairly uneventful last few days and according to my girlfriend I am becoming a serious online nerd hehe! Great fun though and keeps me out of mischief so she can't complain! And if I ever become rich or atleast earn a living out of it I'm sure she wont be complaining about how geeky it is!

Over an out

Christmas shopping started

Right its been a few days since I updated this, so much going on but will give you a little run down!

Started my xmas shopping, already spent best part of 500 pounds (mostly on jewellery for the other half)! As we live together in a two up two down semi detached house hiding places are not exactly plentiful. Have resorted to hiding all her pressies up in the loft or attic as you Americans like to call it! Its the only place I know she wont go even if she could manage to work the step ladder....
