    I've just put dd to bed as she started flagging again,not sure what is wrong with her but sleep wont do her any harm. Haven;t used her monitor for weeks now but it's on loud right behind my ear this monring lol

    Hey Nikki

    Sounds like your are doing well with all of your vouchers.

    I have decided I know what to do about the HMV vouchers. I am due one paper one from pigsback, and another one as soon as some points clear. And im going to sell them on ebay (or to a friend). Then use that extra money, along with the e-vouchers for HMV to order my dads game. Im hoping I should only have to put £10 towards it :D

    And then I just need to figure out what to get my step mum for her birthday. I have got her some eye make up and choccies, not sure what else? I was thinking a compact mirror or something?

    Aww YB, hope your DD feels better soon.

    That's a good idea Amy, I think we're all doing quite well christmas wise considering it's only October. I've made £44 in luncheon vouchers too, but I've given them to my dad to buy christmas food with. I never know what to buy him and this year is no exception.

    Have you looked in boots for compact mirrors? They have some in there on the 3 for 2 but I can't remember what sort of selection they have.

    I miss London, I had friends who went to UCL so I'd pretty much go there every Tuesday in my first year of uni, work my way up the pubs on Tottenham Court Road & go home Wednesday. Those were the days, I feel so old now!

    I hate not being busy, but I hope you don't get too much work later. I've STILL not listed my jewellery on etsy... I'm a bad person :rotfl:. I'm going to take more photos so I can do it now.

    I dont mind working in London, its just the travelling, does me in.

    I am going food shopping in Tesco near Goodge Street tonight. I did it last week and got some bargains and it meant i didnt need to go food shopping all the way into town on Saturday :D

    Which is always good.

    Oooo naughty! Get listing your items! Did the temp agency get back to you about those 2 weeks of work? Have you deffo got them?

    You know, i think I will have fish and chips for tea tonight. I really fancy it. :p

    Yeah, I don't think I'd be able to travel, I went to bed at 10.30 last night because I was so tired. My sleeping pattern has completely changed lately, I used to sit up til about 2 unable to sleep.

    I'm going to take my photos now, I'm just trying to decide what kind of background I want to have. I'm thinking of opening another etsy shop so I can keep my kitsch & vintage jewellery separate. I got a call from the agency a bit ago, they said they're sending my cv off today so fingers crossed.

    Ooh, food, I love chips, and the batter from fish...well, and fish, I just can't eat it. I think we're getting pizza hut tonight for my brothers birthday as he decided he wanted it on a Friday instead of yesterday... I'm going to get so fat lol.

    Lol... i already am fat! I have put on so much weight the past few weeks, but its all change next week. Healthy lunches for me :D I need to loose at least 1/2 stone before i go to my mums as I always put on weight there :rotfl:

    I like the batter more than the fish, the cats usually get the fish lol Although a small cod in my local shop is 2 bits of fish :eek: Its madness. The cats love it though. They go nuts when I have it.

    And Moo even tries to steal chips from my plate. :rolleyes:

    Sounds a good idea re: the two shops. xx

    I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo bored.

    Wow, that's a lot of fish. I saw a cat the other day in Brighton that I really wanted, he/she was so cute. When I'm not living at home I want one, but I can't have one now because although the dogs do actually want to be friends with cats it usually scares the cats. I'm trying to find some cream paper to use as a back ground but failing :(

    Awwww bless. Yeah cats are usually (i find) the ones who get scared and attack dogs (most of the time!). I have always had cats. We got a cat when i was 4. Mum moved to Ireland when i was 18 and i wouldnt let her take her so i took her in, and had her until I was 20/21 when she died. Then i waited until last year, and I got my 2 boys. Woudlnt live without them now. :D

    Oh i have some cream paper, not that that helps you! :rolleyes:
