thanks rufus and jammy - I managed to post a few times. Thanks, I found your thread too jammy so I said hi like I didn't know you!!!

Right - I made another 1.25 on panelbase the other day and did a huge survey for ipsos that paid me approx 3.00. So 4.25 to add to challenge total. Will pm you jammy asap. Have stuff to ebay but my e drive isn't working for some reason. Tonight I am going to do musicmagpie again as husband has been putting his music onto his iphone and onto computer so he can get rid of stuff. That should help my total. If I get good money for them I'll do it, otherise I'll take them to my car boot at the end of the month.

These will get you started.

Thank you Scattymam i've just signed up to 2 so I am making a good start. Don't think i will get around to listing anything on Ebay today I need to get organised in the house I haven't done much housework for 2 days and its amazing how it catches up with you so i will be cracking on today.
My youngest has been for nursery induction today and I had to leave him for 1 1/4 hours. He really enjoyed it He will start afternoon sessions after Easter. I am gutted I was hoping for mornings but afternoons is going to be a nightmare as it will really tie me up

Hope everyone is ok x

ohh missed you there cady Welcome, post lots so we can get to know you.
I'm one of those pregnant ones - my baby is due in november so I am really needing to be organised for christmas this year. From sep 1st we start the organizedchristmas plans on www.organizedchristmas.com and last year I was so organised I shocked myself. My plan is to have all presents bought by end of september this year. And be all wrapped by the middle of
october. As like yourself I'll have enough to do when baby 2 comes!!! If this is your first baby I would suggest for this year make your lists and get all presents in asap and wrap as you get - give youself a cut off of say aug 31st. This year my family and friends are getting purses or wallets with gift cards in (except for the kids) and just tell people this year I didn't have the time being ready to drop around delivery time. I'll have less to lug about as well as the presents are small so should help a little! MIL will get a posh one (seen some cheap fiorelli ones) but I found some 99p purses on ebay I'm watching so cheap too.


Have been vomiting lots, so haven't felt like housework at all - I HATE housework - and am living in a dump right now - need to get off here and make some effort though. Can't ait for the sep 1st cleaning grand plan to start - I enjoy it when I'm given tasks to do. Going to go and make a curry quick for tonight and get everything else ready and out freezer, having naans and baajis with it. Though the smell will probs make me throw up!

Sugarspun - thinking of you, hope you made it back in time

scattymam - ipsos says you need to receive an invite to join - can I be cheeky and ask if you or anyone else has one ? or referrals to any other sites
