    Sounds like you're doing well on the voucher front Wendz! How long was it you waited for the Toluna voucher? I'm still waiting on my Arcadia voucher. Kind of lost hope of getting it now! :rolleyes:

    I waited about two months, they take so long. Send them an e-mail as sometimes it hurries them along a bit!

    Yeah I was a bit rubbish at remembering to do BP, but doing it more again now. Would be a good idea to start saving some vouchers again for you, you could put them towards baby stuff!

    I managed to sell a Wii game i put on for sale on amazon today, that should be about 7 quid after postage to me.

    Got my money through for the guitar hero today so that has gone on OD fund.

    Been looking at my finances and is not looking too bad. Haven't bought any clothes all month which is very good for me. Just need to keep going so can get to the end of the month as has been quite tight moneywise.

    Had some good news this morning that we get between christmas and new year off paid and we don't have to take it off our holiday allowance. I had asked to have it off anyway so hopefully can have some time off before instead.

    Went to a leaving do last night and ended up spending twenty quid on a round of drinks and a mcdonalds. Just had a look at my finances and should be OK till payday. OH's sister might be down this weekend so hoping that won't be too expensive as she will probably want to go round London etc.

    I had to get up early this morning because the landlord was coming round with people to service the boiler. Need to do some cleaning in a bit as OHs sister should be coming round. It isn't too bad just need a bit of a tidy round and dust.

    I managed to actually write a dooyoo review yesterday! Hopefully will write another this morning. I have been posting some reviews on ciao as well but don't really understand it still that much.

    I usually cross port my reviews on Ciao and then just leave them. I end up with in excess of £6 per month from the reads and monthly prizes. All helps so I keep trying to remember to cross post.

    That is a good idea might just do that. Seems a lot of work otherwise for not much reward!

    I have managed to hoover the flat and tidy up a bit although my sister work stuff is all over the lounge and don't want to mess it up. The flat looks nice anyway. OHs sister is leaving now so should be here in about three hours. OH is on his way back as well from Southampton, after his opticians appointment.

    Now time to write a dooyoo review I think...

    Have had a nice weekend and managed not to spend too much either woo! OH's sister came down for the night yesterday and we went out for dinner and OH paid and then we watched X factor and had some wine, sweets etc. Only spent about a tenner so have got plenty to last me till payday (hopefully). Hoping to save enough to pay for MOT which will be the week after next.
