    Oh my god I really need to learn to do the multi quote thing....

    Make Up - thank you! I really hope you like it otherwise I will feel well bad for singing its praises. Also, I promise to log on and rate your reviews as soon as I can face the guilt of not having written a review for god only knows how long get a chance

    Lula Hula - I never really visualised you as a bitter gin soaked old hag....have always seen you as more glossy hair and bright coloured clothes...kind of like an art teacher but not mad....

    Sarah - well done on the 2 pounds! Also, Ikea candles are ace, especially if you can get the vanilla ones.

    Dan - you make me chuckle but I can’t remember why, hence I need to learn the multi quote magic.


    Have gone completely mad the last couple of weeks, have turned into some crazy shopaholic that doesn’t remember that she has limited funds....am pretty sure i recognise her from a couple of years ago....would quite like her to go away again as I vaguely remember her getting me into a huge money mess that it took me 2 years to get out of....ah well, its nearly 2010, fresh start and all that....

    After thinking it over I have just spent £40 and put the rest back, for which I got 2 candles (they really are yummy:D) a goody bag full of mini sizes of the things I wanted, 2 perfume samples and free gift wrapping:j. So I am quite happy with that and will not buy anymore toiletries:o

    Lula speaks sense :D

    My assignment really isn't going well, does anyone on here enjoy modelling underground excavations in heterogenous rock masses?

    ....

    Oh no, don't worry about that at all! I stayed up til 1am last night feverishly typing out reviews of Pizza Express and various other establishments that regularly get my cash. Net result is that have reached target for next £20 Amazon voucher. Meaning I shan't be back on there for a while. Well till I've forgotten the dullness of it all!

    Problem is that I have until 16th to get pressie for my friend so really really need vouchers to arrive asap.

    Also have just reached 1380 points with Ipsos so ordered another £10 amazon voucher.

    Souk - I think you were asking what surveys I do? I have been doing Toluna but they are carp. I only really recommend Ipsos and just started with Pinecone. Dooyoo is ok if you are able to waffle on about products without it being too obvious. Works out at 50p per review plus you get points for each rating of your review. So in theory should have taken 40 reviews to get to £20 amazon voucher but instead took 33. You can aim for £50 and then you get a cheque!

    CaroleM - I too am spending money like crazy, need to stop as payday next week and funds running v. v. low aargh!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Argh! Sorry I need to vent! I feel like crying. Had a totally carp day at work. Now I know things aren't going great there at the moment and everybody's fed up (including me :rolleyes:), but if you're going to come in, in a foul mood, bring everybody else down, snap at people left, right and centre all the time...maybe don't bother...

    And calm...you have no idea how tempted I am to get the jaffa cakes out of the cupboard right now.

    Will be back later when I've calmed down a little.

    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    (((((hugs)))) Get out the Jaffa Cakes, they are low fat: just make sure you have a glass of milk or something healthy alongside to fill you up a bit. ;)
