    or have you seen the ones on the forums somwhere where thet roll up baby grows and make a bouquet with fake leaves - you could do it with knickers or socks that would be funny.

    I just copied plm's layout - so it's all down to her really. Behind the photo is a secret envelope for secret jornalling. I love this idea so I'm going to do it again and again now.
    plm - no monthly yet - too scared to take a test!!! I will let you know when I do though.

    Been all over this morning trying to buy the bairn barbie thumbelina, tesco didn't have it and morrisons just couldn't be bothered to go and get it - even though I had upset little dd with me at the time.

    Bought mil a watering can with lillies in and some cupcakes - came to 6.50 and bil's birthday I have 8,00 love to shop vouchers to go towards a 10.00 hmv voucher for his bday. Not much to cover then to make myself neutral.

    April and may I have 3 birthdays which included dd's party!! I'm building up a christmas pot too - hope I get my 40.00 onepoll by then - it's taking so long!!! need to get on with ebay - don't know why I put it off!!!

    don't know why...??? the over emotional daft lass in me I guess. As if I'm not emotional enough right now.

    That's why I tried to get thumbelina so I could have a cat nap while she watched it - so tired. Not sleeping very well like!! neither did hubby last night mind!

    rusty you are doing really well with your neutral pot - i would love to do mystery shopping - do you have to claim your earnings though on that. I don't suppose it would make much difference to your child tax credits though would it?

    DOES ANYBODY KNOW? is there anywhere you can hire sizzix dies or cricut cartridges - really want the new heelo kitty stuff but can't spend the money!!!

    What's the story with qype? Does anyone get anything if they refer me, or do I just go and sign up?

    If anyone wants to refer and gets something from it, drop me a PM. I'm interested in all these vouchers you all seem to be getting.
