Well I've put all my shopping away, put tea on in the slow cooker, printed the kids some activities off for when they get home, and done my chores for the day Got myself a fresh COFFEE so just gonna have a bit of a search for a few recipies, and try and get OH Jar of promisies done before he gets back.

Picked up a few bits for easter while I was out today, Home Bargins have got some really cute little tin buckets in 2 for £1, mini bags of choc eggs and bunnies for 29p and Bunny lolly pops 6 for 49p these I will make into the easter egg hunt prizes for the kids. Only need a few more bits then will be all done.

I've finished and wrapped mum's and MIL mother's day Pressies and cards. Still need to sort out Fathers day now.

Hope everyone is having a HAPPY Monday

Sarah

Why is it when we venture out on to another thread we get our heads bitten off? I expressed my opinion about this new case of the little boy being killed by two dogs and suddenly i might as well be the killer. People always have to argue and discredit someone else to make themselves feel better. It always makes me question my judgement.

I know what you mean (I just had a look at the thread) - people do love to jump on their soapbox and shout other people down. x

Wow thats impressive! I doubt I would make anywhere near that amount but I got sick of putting all of the little ones clothes on freecycle and not getting any thankyous so I thought enough is enough they are all next and all in perfect condition so will get a few pennies on the boot sale, also have a lot of her toys which she is now too old for yet I can't part with them either for free as they were so expensive in the first place!!!

I sell all my DS2's Clarks shoes on ebay. They always sell. Also Grobags, decent clothes etc. I had a couple from Manchester drive all the way to Northampton to collect 2 binbags of baby boy clothing.

I've also sold toys on ebay as 'collections' of stuff and said pick up only.

I do my bit for charity too but if I can make a quid from it for us then I do

I so know what you mean. I've tried mentioning bargains a few times on the shopping threads and there are always ar*ey people there really quickly replying with negative comments.

By the way, don't question your judgement, nothing wrong with it.

Thought I would come in here and say hello, I've not been in here before! Seem to spend my time in the card making,finished baskets threads!
Anyway I love the idea of the this thread and I'm please to say I've started my sealed tin for Christmas! I also test products for points/money, I've already got £20 in boots vouchers so I'm doing quite well!!
Look forward to getting to know you all!

:hello: Hi
Can I come back in please ?
I came in a few weeks ago but then life got in the way and I couldn't keep up with the thread .
I just wanted to ask which online survey sites do any of you use ?. I've read the thread but wanted to ask your opinions. Thanks.
