    I leave you people alone for a while and I have four pages to catch up on!

    Thanks everyone, discount is 22.5% on Boots stuff and 12.5% on non Boots so it's pretty good. I got one of those foundations too CL, but I never wear foundation as my skin is pretty good & I don't want to clog it up with rubbish, so I'm going to add it to my little sisters christmas present (her skin is also fine, but she seems hell bent on wrecking it with all the make-up she piles on). This month it's mascara so I'm hoping for a free one of those as it's something I'll actually use. If anyone else is interested the link is here: http://www.rimmellondon.com/UK/promotions.aspx?id=323 as CL said it's one of 10,000 so you are almost certain to 'win'one.

    Congrats on the crown/guideness Yukki, that's really good :). I haven't written a dooyoo review in ages but did a bit of a rubbish one yesterday as my dad was rushing me to go food shopping with him, I'm going to attempt to add more today. I've suggested they add vollers corsets, I can't wait to have that added as I'm obsessed with them and will probably end up writing a mammoth review. I was thinking about my 'skills' last night, I think the thing I've always been strongest at is writing, so if this business thing takes off I might try and find some part-time work that involves writing somehow? Maybe I should try and submit things to magazines or something...not sure.

    I hope your brace feels better soon lilmiss, the thing I always hated most was the taste of the cement, it used to linger for at least a day and it was really disgusting. Ick.

    I won 50p on one of my scratchcards so I'm up to £9.90 now, hopefully I'll win 20p tomorrow but I doubt that will happen so I should at least be able to withdraw on Friday *woo*. Well done on the £5 Jen, I think me & mm are a bit jealous ;) lol.

    Morning All

    Congrats on your job Nikki, and the discount is good! :D

    Well done on your £5 win Jen xx

    Awww good luck today YB. Hope it goes ok.

    Well i was off work yesterday, i woke up feeling terrible, but then felt better about 11am so decided to go in, on my way to the station i saw a cat that had been run over. So i took it to the vet. It was already dead but they said they would see if it had a microchip etc. It was very sad. Poor thing.

    Anyway, back at work today, loads to do, so best get on.

    Thanks Amy, that's a bit sad about the cat :(. I've written another dooyoo review, hopefully I can be disciplined and keep up the two a day.

    Aww Amy that's horrible.

    Nich go for a writing job, your reviews are great so you should go for it.

    Work will be fine I'm sure we're so short staffed I could well be left on my own in the carp this afternoon and I'm praying I wont be

    I redeemed another £5 on the bingo port just now (that's where I've been hiding), so I'll let you know if I get them hopefully tomorrow

    been reading the payment a day thread..might do something like that myself even if its just putting 50p a day into my ISA. at least it's like something is happening each day then-it's a long time from one payday to the next!
