    Four more very dull DooYoos done. Both the DDs are awake and watching TV. Guess its time to make a start on life in the real world, am hoping a Lemsip will work miracles.

    I hope the concept behind DooYoo is to give consumers as much relevant and pertinant information about the product they're considering purchasing as possible however if you go against the majority they give miserly ratings for having a mind of your own and daring to deviate from the norm so saying Facebook is not the most wonderful thing in the world has been seen by some as an excuse to send hate mail. It was entirely expected. When bored I do random things. Turrns out unless you're on Facebook every day and can say exactly what the previous 528 reviewers have said the freaks of DooYoo aren't happy. In response to my post I've even had one helpful person say that perhaps if I used it more I'd understand how great Facebook is. Well it might be great for some but its not everyones cup of tea. Still I'll refrain from deviant reviews in future.

    Shall I comment: "no one said on their deathbed that they wished they'd spent more time on Facebook"?

    Bored, bored, bored. Am currently killing time reviewing this weeks junk mail on DooYoo. Appears it does have its uses after all. Have now reached 160 reviews. Only 40 more to go to the 200 mark and £37.29p of points to the next payout. OH is away Thursday night so I'll be having a DooYoo marathon to get some more out of the way.

    Still only listed three things on flea bay and they're things that didn't sell last time but one already has bids on. Suppose I'm going to have to drag the camera out and make a start sometime soon if only to get it over with.

    Its monday morning. My head is full of snot. It feels like it may explode at any given moment. Have been awake since 4:30am when DD2 wet her bed. Bleugh. Would be so nice to spend today hibernating under a duvet but unfortunately life will get in the way. Its not even a day I can slope off from school early as I have tons to get done by lunchtime today. Moan moan moan. Whinge whinge whinge. Felt too pants to list anything on flea bay (my excuse and I'm sticking to it.) Will be kicking myself later in the week for being a lazy tart

    OK got that out of my system. Time for positive thoughts. Being ill is a good excuse to purchase and consume junk food. Will be venturing into the village for choclate and crisps on my way home. Have started on my Christmas list to appease OH who is threatening me with all sorts of peculiar things if I fail to come up with acceptable suggestions. Am now debating how cheesed off he'll be if I request a curtain pole for the window at the top of the stairs to keep the heat in. Considering the rest of the list is jeans, boots for work and chocolate I get the impression it probably won't go down overly well.

    Seem to have overlooked something somewhere and was pleasantly surprised to find that rather than hovering round the 20K mark we're actually sub 19K. Not a clue how, can only think that I included a couple of cheques out twice last time I totted up. Still means I'm aiming for sub 18K by New Year instead of sub 20. Perhaps being debt free by next Christmas is possible after all.

    Two DooYoos done. 20p won on the scratchcards and bingo tickets purchased.

    Plans for today:
    • Remain vertical until bedtime.

    If it makes you feel any better, having worked 4am - 7.30am yesterday the thought of Ebaying was akin to putting hot needles in my eye.

    Instead I suffered through a trip to Tesco and ate a lot of junk food. :A

    It was a one-off for sh*tloads of overtime.

    I feel jetlagged today though...
