Hope it went well today Emily.

Hi :hello:

It went very well thank you. My arm is free again apart from a small hole and a plaster over it. It's also a bit stiff but it's getting better by the minute. Glad I am not at work until next week.

Evening all

Well, as mentioned above, I finally have my line out :T:T. Still feels a bit weird and I have a massive plaster on it which can't come off until tomorrow but I finally feel like I can put the past month behind me.

In a way I am grateful that it happened because it has made me realise how fragile I have become if a simple stomach bug can put me into hospital and keep me off work for 5 weeks. I have to go back to the hospital in a fortnight for a check up.

I am back at home now. I love my mum's place and am grateful to her for putting up with me for so long but there is nothing like your own bed to sleep in .

My Tesco order came so my house is full of food to make me gain weight. Am currently tucking into a chocolate bar and cup of milk. I have also just renewed my TV licence online.

Off to sleep soon to get my first decent night's sleep in over a month!!

I slept well last night and had a nice lie in.

Didn't do much else today. Ordered my niece a Peppa Pig DVD from Amazon for £4 (with my free vouchers of course).

Picking up my Avon books tomorrow morning so fingers crossed for lots of Christmas orders .

Hi everyone

Picked up most of my Avon books and got around £200 worth of orders which is good. Got a few more to get in from friends and family so that figure may rise yet.

My niece started pre school today (bless her :A) and she came back with a cardboard rocket that she made and my sister had a load of raffle tickets to sell for their Xmas open day so I bought a couple of strips for £2 (an Auntie's duty ). Here's hoping I win something nice .

Hi everyone

Expensive day today as I paid my rent . At least that is out of the way until next month.

I have looked at the Christmas presents I have already bought and the people I still need to buy for and I don't believe that I will need to get anything else from Amazon. I have therefore decided that I am going to save up for a brand new TV for my lounge when I get into the new flat (I know I definitely haven't got it yet but a bit of positive thinking can't do any harm!).

I have seen one on there at the moment for £300 so am going to work towards that figure. I have already got £20 so need £280 more. I am looking at getting £140 of that from BP vouchers (need to get £10 every week for 14 weeks) and then £140 of it from Dooyoo (will work out around 2-3 a day for 14 weeks as I have already got 10,000 miles). I should therefore have enough for a new TV in February - and best of all it will be free .

I have got a day in the house tomorrow to catch up on all the things that I should have been doing when I was in hospital or at my mum's. I can feel a to-do-list coming on!!

1. Wrap Xmas presents and write list of who still to buy for.
2. Clean out hamsters
3. Sort out Avon stuff to put on Ebay
4. Sort out paperwork
5. Do 3 Dooyoo reviews
6. Clear out old Avon books
7. Sort out some stuff to Freecycle

That will do for now.

Off to bed now.........and ending the day on 2,555 BP points.

Hi everyone

Well, not been doing very well saving up for the TV. But then I don't need to now. My OH (for those that remember, yes it is the same one as before and he is still on the scene - nearly 9 years now but I am pleased to say that I am not as reliant on him as I was and he knows it which keeps him on his best behaviour and on his toes too!!) has bought his parent's old TV from them to give me for Christmas. I say old but they have had it for less than a year and have now got one of those ultra thin things. This is a mint condition JVC 32" HD TV with Freeview. I just need to buy a suitable stand (have seen one on Gumtree for £20) and will try to recoup this cost by selling my old TV.

So now, I am going to save my Amazon vouchers for a Nintendo DSi as I had to sell my DS a little while ago when I was in dire need of money. I think I will be able to get up to £70 by the end of the month if I do 3 reviews on Dooyoo a day and then get £10 a week from BP, plus the £20 I already have. I can then get the rest before Christmas hopefully and that will be a little Xmas pressie for myself . After I get the DSi, I am looking to get a new Sony camera as have had mine for around 5 years and would love a pink one .

I am going to visit a lady tomorrow who has offered to look after my cat for me. It sounds promising as she lives in a great area and I think she is an older lady who doesn't work full-time so she should be able to give my cat more attention than I can. I do feel bad doing this but I thought about it tonight and I think my cat will get more attention, more time outside as this lady has got a cat flap and at the end of the day, I need to move, this flat is perfect for me, my cat can't come with me and I have nobody in the family who can rehome her so this is the next best thing. I know I probably sound like I am trying to justify this with myself.

Hi everyone

Well, I came back from that lady's house. She was really nice and she said that she would take Lucky on tomorrow evening for me. However, when it comes to it I just feel so sick at the thought of leaving my little cat with a stranger, in a strange house. I just can't do it . I am going to text her later on saying how grateful I am but that I just can't let her go.

Not sure where this leaves me with the flat. I think it would be easier for me if she were going to a family member as at least she would know them and I would be able to see her every day if necessary. There is also the option of a ground floor flat with garden in the new development which will cost me the same as I am renting now, however I might be able to keep Lucky so maybe it would be worth it. My OH has also offered to take her as I was really upset about giving her away to a stranger, even though he lives in a rented house, but he does have a garden. She also knows him and goes to him for cuddles so he isn't a stranger to her.

This is all so stressful!
