    I've signed up and written my first 5 I think reviews!! I reckon I can do this if I concentrate and do a few each day! I guess I really need to find some that haven't been reviewed so I can get more money!!

    Found more bargains today.....not for Christmas but just for me! Found a lovely pair of suede boots.....for a mind boggling £1.50! They were odd sizes and guess who's got odd feet haha! Then got a pair of gorgeous black leather high heels for £5 in New Look! Wide fitting too as not only are the feet different sizes they are wide too!!!

    Went to Matalan, who had great big tubs of baubles for £2 in lots of different colours.They were lovely but I resisted because I don't have them on my tree. They also had some great rolls of wrapping paper for £1. including some extra long rolls(as in height rather than length......again I resisted as I seriously do not need any more paper for about 5 years! Did get a lovely red clutch bag for £3 and my girls got some pumps for the summer for £1 . Oh and I bought 2 lovely Christmas mugs that were down to a £1 for my niece and her boyfriend that I will fill with snowman soup.....nearer the time!

    I do love my bargains and wrapping them up......sat on my bed at 11.30pmlast night which is late for me wrapping smugly and putting them away & starting a whole new notebook! SAD or what!!
  • OMG !!! Jammy what have you done to me :confused::confused:

    You have turned me into a qtype loony :rotfl:

    I have spent my Saturday night writing reviews about pubs restaurants and shops :rotfl:

    Mind on the good side i told H he had to make food because i was busy ;) makes a change he usually just sits there and starves waiting for me

    I think i have done my quota in one fail swoop :confused: :rotfl:

    It says i have wrote 16 1st reviews and 66 that already had reviews , i think thats what it says .. i better check

    Poop it says 70 reviews of which 16 are 1st reviews. So i figure its
    70 - 16 = 54
    54 divided by 2 =27
    So 27 + 16 = 43 reviews ??

    :eek: i still have 7 to do :o

    Thanks Everyone for the kind words, managed quite a bit yesterday. Did a mad shop at Mr Tesco's and got some great bargins loads of clothes had been reduced, got OH 6 shirts all down to £1.75, got the kids loads of T.shirts and shorts ranging from 38p to £1 so well pleased with that. Picked a few bits up to put away as Birthday and xmas Pressies.

    Started going through my pressie boxes last night and have nearly everything covered I think but will make sure I have it all sorted for the 25th then I can post it on here.

    Thanks Jamtart have signed up to QYPE for the Virgin voucher, have managed 6 1st time reviews with the help of OH, so will aim to do a few a day.

    Thanks MEL for being such a wonderful Friend to me and everyone else.

    Catch you all in a bit

    Getting stuck in today

    Sarah

  • Ok i just had a look at mine

    If you go to My Q-TYPE and then look on the right hand side it should say my stats ?
    In that box it says
    Total reviews 79 of which 26 are 1st reviews

    It might just be that its catching up with itself furry ? i know yesterday it took a little while for the numbers to catch up with themselves.

    Hope that helps ?

    That is right chocolate orang :p. The 8 your statistics have counted are the ones you did yesterday and it hasn't counted todays yet. It can take up to 24 hours so I never bother to look until the day after when I log on. HTH x

    OHHH Sarah BARGAINS!!! If I bought any more tshirt for my husband I think he will kill me :D I thinky you sound a bit too organised for my liking!! :o Love you!! xx

    Mhagster are you the bargain queen here or what!! I love your little bargain stories.. odd shoes :o I think we need to see a pic of your new heels ;)

    Well I ventured into the gift cupboard last night and never came out again!! I started to get dizziness and kept blacking out so I had to call it quits and scrapbook instead (woe betide me) I am getting there though!

    Well.. I was... All the stuff I had neatly piled up in section has just crashed down in a huge heap.

    BOL..BOLOGNE!!

    Well all the reviews from today have been added on so that can't be the reason it's going up everytime I do one! i have contacted them as it's very annoying that yesterdays don't seem to be on my account!
