    Thanks MM, Im very happy his changed cars now. Today he cant stop going on about the different gadgets in it so i think his happy with it. I was worried he would drive it to work today and decide he didnt like it as its a diesel but quite the opposite he loves it! Thank goodness! :)

    Afternoon,

    OMG its freezzzzzzing!!! Im waiting for my dad to get home so i can beg him to put the heating on. He goes mad if the heating goes on before 6pm.:rolleyes:

    Ive just done a survey for £4 luncheon vouchers and there sending me a product to test! :D

    Ive also just done a survey for Toluna in OH's account which should just tip me over 60,000 points so i can claim a voucher once its cleared! I will get a Halfords as i normally do. As will probably need to stock up on de-icer.

    There lots of Germans in the hotel at the moment, none of them wanted there rooms done so had quite an easy day today which makes a nice change. I got a £1 tip for opening a door from one of them! They check out 2moz so im hoping they might leave some nice tips in the rooms. (wishful thinking!)

    Hi Maria,

    Your doing so well with that ISA, well done you!! Thats great for your future.

    Great news about your OH's car, when my OH bought the flat he was sad to see the Type R go, and go to a boring Vauxhall Corsa, but more important things than cars, babies, houses etc! Its great he's thinking about your future together and preparing for the patter of tiny feet.

    Afternoon all,

    Feeling sad today. Yesterday i was talking on another thread about having a smear test before i start TTC. I havent had one before as im scared of what the results may be. Ive been putting it off for years as 6 years ago i had an HPV virus that can be linked to causing Cervical cancer. When they told me that it scared me, and since then i havent been for a smear out of fear of the results.

    Then this morning my best mate text me out of the blue saying she her most recent smear test has come back with boardline cancerous cells.:( She's had a biopsey and has to wait another 6 months for them to test again. I think ive got that right anyway.
    This really freaked me out as i hadnt spoken to her about me being worried about the fact i havent had one etc. So i have seen this as some sort of sign her telling about it. This morning i called to book at test. They told me to phone back on the 1st day of my period as they test on the 14th day. Hearing about my friend has really pushed me that i have to go.

    Anyway, on the money side on things i got left £11 of tips in the rooms today from the German customers! Yay! Every little helps!

    Afternoon all,
    Its friday!!! :j :j

    Ive had another spend! £2.58 on 3 bags of treat size choc bars for any trick or treaters that might come. My parents never answer the doors to them, and i spend the whole night worrying about what they might do to my car sat on the driveway. So ive brought them some chocolates this time!...Hopefully we wont get anyone round and i can eat them all! :p

    Also had a surprise through the door, ive been waiting for my I-tunes voucher to come that i won a while ago but instead they sent me an MP3 player...some make ive never heard of but its looks the same as an apple shuffle. It bright pink worth £22 aparrantly. I will stick it on Ebay over the weekend. I would have preferred the I-tunes as wanted to give it to my brother as a birthday pressie. Never mind i cant turn my nose up at a prize!

    I had another grolsch glass today...thats 4 now i have in total! Im still waiting for something to come that im suppose to be testing. And im waiting for 7 free light bulbs and a solar alarm clock. All freebies from here.;)
