Evening,

I had another PC survey today so have £4 LV's on there way i also done another two surveys for different companies.

I had competly forgotton about bingoport for earning Amazon vouchers, so im going to go on there tonight and try build up some points for some amazon vouchers.

Im still trying to hunt down those straightners for my work mate, so was rather sad today when i didnt bring them in for her!:rolleyes: Only place i can think there in is the loft.

Hi there, fingers crossed you don't get too sick with the pregnancy. You may have seen this already, but I was just reading the weekly email and saw this and thought of you:

Oh thanks Nicki, I did see that a couple of days ago but forgot all about it. I will sign up now.;)

You'll get the Bounty ones fron Boots too . This baby stuff does have it's benefits lol. In fact, I'm sure you'll register for it soon, but the Boots baby club was giving out free changing bags when I was working there, I would guess it still is now too.

mariagti

Yep, i signed upto boots baby club as soon as i found out! haha, although i already have to changing bags that Tesco panels sent me to to test a while back! haha

I just popped to Asda to buy some corn on the cob and ending up buying corn on the cob reduced to 75p, ben & jerrys x2, (2 tubs for £3!!) and a scarf!

But i used my luncheon vouchers for it all so nothing to pay.

My lovely mum found my straightners for me today while i was at work so i can give them to my work mate tomorrow although she cant pay me until next week but theres no rush. But still £10 coming my way.

Evening,

I had a tuff day at work today, far too many rooms and the usual lazy drama queen chambermaid kicked off and argued with another chambermaid. I just stayed out of it. At least i got 2 hours overtime and i have taken holiday mon,tues and wed so dont go back to work now till thursday! As my car is going in for the belts change tuesday and i fancied some days at home to relax!

So im going through my CD's again, i have a box full that are just collecting dust and i want them gone, so im seeing how much they go for on ebay and then on musicmagpie. There so old most arent even selling for 99p on ebay so i will prob end up sending them all to musicmagpie. But first im going to make some copies of the good songs off each CD. That will be one less box of rubbish out of my way!

Evening,

Ive had a very lazy weekend, i havent done much at all this weekend!! I went to OH's yesterday and popped round there again today to give him some money from his items i sold on ebay. Although i forgot to give him the money and went home with it again! He washed my car for me bless him, it needed it and i wanted it to look clean before it goes in for its major service.

Ive been looking on rightmove and found the perfect new build flat its a 2 bed with en suitenand directly behind where i live at my parents now. Even better is its only £550 a month! All the ther 2 beds around here in horrible areas are £600 plus. It would be perfect for us close to my parents, modern and 2 beds.

But it we went for it and rented now, that would mean we wouldnt be able to save any money per month until the baby comes. Plus we would need to buy furniture etc so would eat into our house deposit.

The ideal plan for us was to save up as much money and vouchers as possible for baby bits, furniture. From now until January. Oh i wish i hadnt of looked on rightmove now.

You're sounded so positive and excited it's lovely to see. Hope things continue to work out for you.
Re work be careful with the lifting etc but you know that. I didn't want to tell my boss but had to earlier than I wanted due to lifting. They were good about it as soon as they realised.
