OMG they are such ****** (well I can't swear but I'm sure you can imagine what i'm saying) Your daughter sounds lovely just like you, and I'm sure she knows that and that you love her dearly.

Stuff Dooyoo hun and don't let them get you down. You know where I am if you want a rant.

Better go get the kids from school, got this really sick feeling, DS1 is off camping tonight with the cubs, its pouring it down and I just can't stop worrying about silly things

Well done all of you. You have all done so well. I am going to sit down over the weekend and work out all my totals.

This is the first time i have done this with the thread so do i include only total i have or can cash out or do i include everything even if i havent got enought points or cash in that place to cach out example 10500 in Dooyoo and i need 20000 etc....

Mum2one your dd sounds like a well brought up caring little girl you must be so proud :T I dont bla$$me you for working so hard to give her a treat. Can you not appeal against the DooYoo decision and ask them exactly where you supposidly (sp!) copied the review from so you can prove you didnt iykwim.

Well done everyone - hugs mum2one

Toddled off to Mr T this morning clutching my clubcard vouchers to get FIFA 10 on xbox 360 for DS birthday - had checked on their website last night and price was £39.97 - in there this morning no price on shelf get to checkout and scanned at £24.97 :T:T - assistant said it was reduced and might go up to proper price at lunchtime so not sure if it's still on or not (would have posted earlier but MSE is banned at work) worth a try though so got myself 2 jumpers for £10 and still came home with £5 of vouchers plus got double points on my spend - Bonus!!

Then went into House of Fraser as OH is buyng me a hangbag for my birthday and it had 20% off - am well chuffed with myself today and all before I started work at 9:30 .

Thank you, re dd.
Dooyoo - they're crafty, the email is from an address that is unmonitored, and when I went to log into the account they wouldn't accept a log in. The thing is its all tied up in their terms and conditions, basically "if they believe" there within their rights, so much for innoncent to proved guilty.

But never mind!!!!! We've ordered DD the wii the reductions made a massive help, so to an extent I've got what I wanted.. xx

made another £6 on ebay yesterday and put 2 more of toms outfits on so hopefully some more pennies in the paypal pot. think its a quiet night tonight my friends were meant to be coming round but he's got a cold and is losing his voice (he talks far too much anyway) so if they dont come i am going to count up jar and hope its up a bit, but my avon campaign has been a good one this time so the money is going towards mum and dads present (as long as ex pays up for tom's shoes which atm is looking very unlikely as he has more interest in his beer than his son, winds me up so much but am determined not to let him get me down his loss i say) keeping going with the surveys and my i-points balance is creeping back up after iv reedemed points for £10 voucher towards one of toms presents. cant believe how close x-mas is coming now, dont know whether to be excited or scared as i have so much to do.
sorry for rambling and ranting, well done to everyone else your all doing good.

Hi jemtom
Ypur going great guns, that sounds gd news re Avon, the money gets recycled for xmas prezzies, hope he pays up for the shoes, but at least you have a back up plan.

I don't know anbout anyone else but as soon as its gone past 1st Oct, Xmas is just round the corner, in an ideal world I'd have all the presents wrapped or in process, but with the puppy, thats nearer the time.

Don't be daft about rambling, if there was an award for rambling Id get it with honours.
If you can't have a gd ramble on here, where can you! x

Evening all.Its ticking to Christmas at the rate of knots.
I went down town other day and got a few stocking fillers.My girls love the neon leg warmers and the pound shop had some.Hairbobbles and stuff.Some great bargains in there.
I may only have a small amount redeemed before Christmas with only tarting 4-5 wks ago,but knowing its there is good.

thanks mum2one, toms godfather has said he will pay for them next week, he knew toms dad was meant to be paying for them and hasnt so he's said he will as a late birthday present, so im really made up about that, after a bad couple of weeks im starting to feel better :T. and plus the excitment of x-mas is adding to it, not long now:xmassmile.
