Nothing to report!!! DD is yet to reappear after yesterdays celebrations ( I do know where she is and what time she will be home though!). DS has hurt his back and left his lunch in the fridge and has no money!
Have a good day everyone0 -
Morning! Coo, £5 on the scratchies! Thats good .... and I hope Sheeplock Holmes finds the hobnobs... well, I don't actually, if they've been eaten - you know, I *have* to get into making my own treats, I was giving feedback to a newbie about that the other day, and so much of my virtual £20 went on chocolate it was ridiculous. Learn the lesson, KC!2023: the year I get to buy a car0

Good luck on the Lotto win Shaun
Do you remember the story in the Irish papers a couple of years back about the Dublin bus crew who won-and the widow of one of their crew who had died a while before and unknown to her they had gone on putting in for him as they didn't have the heart to take him off the list or "replace" him. They shared their win with her. That's my all time favourite lottery story ever-especially as I know the lady concerned and she had me in fits telling me how on the bus coming home from work the day the story broke she was listening to people talk about it (they stayed anonymous)-and had to quell the urge to jump up and shout "It's ME !! " LOL
I have now officially run out of days to get ready for my holiday-I'm staying in London tonight and won't be home til mega late Saturday night-have to work 4 hours on Sunday and we are staying at the airport Monday. I need a time machine ArghhI Would Rather Climb A Mountain Than Crawl Into A Hole

Hi all,
Hope everybody's children got the results they hoped for.
Firstly, I will just apologise to duchy, I just pressed the spam button instead of the reply button by mistake, and your post was the last one. Sorry about that. I un-spamed it by the way. lol
Hypno - I was wondering if you, or anybody else for that matter, could help me. I have just joined dooyoo, as it sounds a good fun way of making a bit of extra money. I see that you have been writing reviews on dooyoo for sometime. I was wondering if you had any pointers for writing reviews and the structure, etc.
Sorry to be a pain.

MF - the best tip is to read some of the reviews of the long time posters, and the guides, to see how they structure things, and take the elements that work for you....you need to be comfortable with the way that you write, and one person's "crib sheet" is not easy for another one to work with!
I will think of some more and post again at lunchtime.....Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
