    Just checked my excel grid (took your advice Rusty ;)) and I'm up to... £223.29 for the challenge :T:j:T:j:T:j

    That includes money tracked via Quidco during the challenge, items sold on ebay minus seller fees, surveys & mystery shops, sale of 2 mobile phones.

    Rusty, what the **** is going on on the nappy thread :eek:. Who is this person??? She is so nasty. Sending you a huge hug and a creme egg :D

    Hayley, so glad you had a good day :D

    Well the GP said he thinks DS1 has a viral bug in his bowel. He has given me a teeny tiny pot that I am supposed to get a poo sample into for them to send for testing. Furry, you're a nurse, how am I supposed to do it? :confused: Poo issues aside we've had a nice day, sun been out nearly all day which has made such a difference.

    No idea rainmac :rotfl: the arguments are still ongoing, although finally she has listened and took it off the forum. Apparently I copied word for word 1 paragraph from her website ... she provided the proof :rotfl:

    here is the paragraph from her website:

    Value for money without compromising on quality or service is something we really believe in here at Pure Nappy Cakes. This is why we have different options for every budget and our magnificent nappy cakes can contain up to 30 baby gifts hidden inside as well as free luxurious gift wrapping, ingredients card and hand crafted gift tag; all without breaking the bank!
    Each and every product is baked with the same passion and attention to detail as the last to provide you with a truly stunning gift every time.

    Here is the paragraph from mine

    Here at Tiers for rears we believe in value for money without compromising on the quality or service. This is why we have a variety of options to suit any budget. Our luxury nappy cakes can contain up to 25 baby gifts hidden inside the cakes. All nappy cakes are baked to perfection, wrapped in cellophane and tagged with a hand created ingredients label, letting the recipient know exactly what is inside the cake.
    Each and every product is baked with passion and attention to detail to provide you with a truly stunning gift!

    :confused::confused::confused: but she decided to use my tiers-for-rears name and buy it as a domain, so if anything its cost her £20-£30 for her being so pathetic :D not very MSE if you ask me ;)

    Anyway I have had enough of all that :rotfl: OH is on the case in emails now :)

    Just want to send out massive thankyous for all of your messages of support and help. I really appreciate them, I got back to 16 PM's :eek: I am still trying to work my way through them but desperately struggling because of the time delay between sending them :rotfl:

    Rainmac sorry to hear about the virus ... don't envy you trying to get a one of them in a little pot! :rotfl: Hope all littlys are better soon xxx

    Well done to you all, you are all doing a great job. Please do PM me with the totals, I haven't forgotten about you all :) I am lurking and slowly replying to all your lovely PM's which is taking a while due to the time delay on PMs :)

    16 days to go for you all - good luck! XX

    as Rainmac said, take care of the pennies and the £'s will take care of themselves ;)

    Sales for me are slowing down now :( but it always had to happen, I am over the moon with what I have made which is what matters :)
