    3. Hoover upstairs
    4. [STRIKE]Wash bed sheets and hopefully put out on the line to dry[/STRIKE]
    5. [STRIKE]Do another load of washing [/STRIKE]
    6. Have an NSD - failed on this one as had to buy some more hay for the rabbit.
    7. Get together 20 books for new road on Avon (with 67 houses :eek: )
    8. Find 5 items to list on Ebay on Sunday
    9. Do 2 Dooyoo reviews
    10. [STRIKE]Clean out rubbish in the garden[/STRIKE]
    Just about to do the hoovering. Have already done 20 questions on AQA so only 80 to go. I've written out the order forms for the 20 Avon books so only have to get them into their bags and ready for delivery. I've also found 4 items to go on Ebay tomorrow so only 1 more to go. Will take pictures of those and get them ready on Turbolister later too.

    I also did a Pinecone survey before I went to bed last night so that will be another £3 in my Paypal to put towards my mum's present.

    Unfortunately my sister has had a miscarriage. She is coping ok though as she was more frightened that it was an ectopic (sp?) pregnancy. She is the strongest person I know so I know she will be ok.

    Tasks for tomorrow:
    1. Get to £120 in AQA account
    2. List 5 items on Ebay
    3. Write out another 20 Avon order forms
    4. Do another load of washing and hang out to dry
    5. Do 2 Dooyoo reviews
    6. Get lunch ready for work on Monday
    Anyway, sitting here falling asleep so must get some sleep.

  • sending big hugs to your sister............................it might seem as though she is coping now but keep an eye on her as you may find it hits her in a few days time.......................................

    on the ebay stuff, had an email yesterday saying that all auctions starting at 99p or under are FREE to list!!!!!!!!! i was getting a little disheartened with it but think i may have to start listing stuff again but for 99p. Be sad if the stuff only goes for 99p but will keep in mind i no longer need this stuff and its clutter!!!!!!!!

    good luck hun, as always will be cheering you on from the side lines!!!!

    Thank you. Only got 4 Avon orders which is just under £30 altogether :rolleyes: . Never mind, still a lot of houses to go this campaign.

    I have done hardly anything on my list today. I had to take half the day off work as my sister had to have an emergency scan. They still don't know if she has miscarried, has an eptopic pregnancy or if she is pregnant and it's too early to show on a scan. She has had some blood tests done and finds out on Wednesday.

    I've therefore been looking after my niece all day. My brain has been numbed by watching too much CBeebies!! Makka Pakka lost his uff uff and it ended it up in Upsy Daisy's bed!! (I'm sure there are some people out there that will understand that ;) ).

    So my list from today looks like:
    1. Put washing on line before I go to work - Didn't have time to do this. Will leave it until I am off work on Thursday.
    2. [STRIKE]Collect Avon books [/STRIKE]
    3. [STRIKE]Add any orders to website [/STRIKE]
    4. Get to £150 in AQA account - Haven't answered 1 question all day :cool:
    5. [STRIKE]Make lunch for work on Tuesday[/STRIKE]
    My list for tomorrow is:
    1. Get to £150 in my AQA account.
    2. Get the Avon books ready for 1 road
    3. Make lunch for work on Wednesday
    That will do I think.

    Going to get an early night (it's early for me anyway!!)

  • Ha ha ha!!! i understand about in the night garden, that was one kiddies programme that i couldnt stand and its slightly disturbing!!!! iggle piggle and ups-e-daisy dont stop kissing and he keeps trying to get in her bed!!!!
    "Makka Pakka lost his uff uff and it ended it up in Upsy Daisy's bed!!" how rude does that sound???!!!!!

    What is happening to your sister is exactly what happened to me before i had ds2. Tell her to be prepared for several blood tests if the hormone levels dont drop quickly, they keep doing them till the pregnancy hormone has dropped below a certain point so they can be certain that she isnt pregnant, mine went on for over a week all in all. Emotional rollercoaster as you think you've miscarried, then still pregnant, then eptopic then miscarried again............. sending big hugs to her.

    I'm glad someone else knew :rotfl: . I didn't know that Upsy Daisy could inflate her skirt to dance either!! And as for Makka Pakka and his uff uff!! My niece has got a book that plays sounds and one of them is Iggle Piggle saying 'oh Upsy Daisy' in a really pervy voice. To be honest he scares the hell out of me, especially that scary toy where he just opens his eyes!!

    My sister called me this morning and the hospital have said that her hormone levels are very low so it is looking likely that she has had a miscarriage. I think she just wants to know for sure though. Hopefully they can tell her tomorrow after another blood test.

    Evening all

    My uncle asked me about his £100 for this month so had to pretend that I had forgotten about it and said I would transfer it into his account. Will have to use my benefit money that goes in tomorrow, will leave me with about £20 to last a week for food and petrol :eek: . Luckily I already have my mum's mother's day present and I put £10 aside as my sister and I are taking her to the cinema at the weekend (shouldn't cost much more than £10 for my ticket and half of hers surely).

    Anyway, I only owe my uncle £100 now :j .

    Just had a really horrible thought. I have to find £350 next month to pay for my new car :eek: . I'm due to get it around 18th April and have no idea how I am going to raise that kind of money. I can't use any of my wages and my AQA money goes towards my rent. I will get £200 of that back eventually anyway if they say my car is in good condition but really don't know what to do now. Any ideas gratefully received!!
