    Ooh look at you whipping my butt with the christmas for free challenge lol. I have swapped my vouchers so far with my nan for cash which I used to pay off my bills but from now on they are mine lol, got some from ipoints due i think for doing surveys. Once I get the breadmaker from ipoints I'm gonna start using my points on christmas pressies my mum wants Osmonds Cd and best of Niel Diamond. And I didn't win either of them so am going to try with ipoints. Only thing I have so far is a bottle of J-Lo Glow perfume. I don't have many people to buy for though just my nan, grandad, mum, step dad, step brother, 2 best friends and my little brother who will get spoilt cos he always does.

    I've been doing it since January though :D If you're not signed up to pigsback yet I'd definitely sign up for that, if you can refer people, you get £5 per person (they have to order something, I signed all my family up and the ordered something small) Plus you get daily free clicks and there's loads of quizzes and things and lovely people on the freebies board post the answers.

    Okay I am going to go and be very un-MSE and put the heating on in July!! It's sooo cold!!
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:

    I have a wrist problem too ikkle87, I've been told - drop a book on it, smack it against something, sit on it (erm why?!), aggravate it until it's really hurting and spasms and then video it! :rolleyes:
    With regards to DLA, who filled in your form? And definitely appeal!

    Hiya guys, hope you are all ok? Sorry I wasn't around much last night I decided to have some dutch courage before trying to get rid of my gangleon. WELL I shan't be in a rush to do that again I can tell you. A and E is lovely especially when its full of pi55heads lol. I decided to whack my gangleon against a wall only it went wrong and within seconds I had a melon for a hand, thankfully it isn't broken but is very bruised and swollen and I can't move my fingers, i might see if I can put a pic up later, well I best get dressed to go to CAB, toodles xx

    Well I rush into town to go to CAB, I pay extra for an early day rider and they were shut!!! :mad:, staff shortages apparently so I shall have to go Monday now. Got a letter from Droyds saying they were accepting my DMP payment proposal. Another day marked off from the waiting for CCA from Welcome i bet it will come through on the 12th day or something knowing my luck lol. Got some blood test results through which were testing me for a gene or dna strand or something clever like that which has come back positive and suggest ankylosing spondylitis which my problems fit in with so I have a referral now to Rheumatology, just wish I had had this result through when I put my DLA claim in, have also registered at a new gp, when my old doctor returns from maternity leave I may consider transferring back but am not sure yet, I just want to get everything sorted and moving. It's a really stressful time at the moment with my health and debt problems and I am due to start college in September. eeeek lol

    A quick update as I'm not sure I am going to be around much tonight.

    Went to the bingo again wth my grandma and mum and won £170 so we got £50+ each which is all good. Sundays are pretty boring days, theres no post sob which means no freebies lol.

    Emailed my dad today too. Thats a huge thing for me at the minute as when I was 16 we fell out and his side of the family stopped talking to me too even when I was really ill and in hospital. Last month though I wrote him a letter explaining how let down I felt and he came to see me and we have been exchanging the odd email and are very slowly trying to rebuild the relationship.

    My back and arms are hurting a lot tonight so sitting at the desk typing all night probably aint that great idea I can't wait till the doctors find some medication that actually works.

    Am going to the CAB drop in session tomorrow for help with my DLA appeal.

    Think thats it.

    Tally ho and thanks for popping in.

    xx
