Aw poor dd

That'll teach you for trying to be a good mum and be healthy 

I chatted to the guy again the other night but he hasn't been online for a couple of days, we were vaguely arranging to meet up again last time we talked, will let you know!!
I've submitted the earnings enquiry to quidco, I've got 3 there now which if they all pay out will get me another 67.50
The last 2 I did have paid out so I'm keeping my fingers crossed
