Interesting that mse blocks another websites name as a swear. probably because it works mostly as a referal site?

Just the four reviews today then?! Is the Megane going to be NIM's car? Have you decided against sharing one?

We've decided to go have a look at this Megane tomorrow, its a decent price so even though its not very economical we'd be saving about £1000 up front. Failing that he has a few other cars in we could try.

Ooo, what have I missed now? What type of Megane is it? We have 2 different types in my family and I think they're fab cars

Take my £2 boots haircare voucher to get some sort of anti-frizz

I doubt it'll be included in the £2 haircare thing but if you have serious frizz going on like I do Vitapointe is great (and only £1.99!) You just need a pea-sized amount to work into the ends of your hair and it makes your hair all soft, shiney and 'awhh!' I keep a tube in my bag and it's a lifesaver (for my hair anywho)

I'm sure you'll do well on your list today! I started that Dorest Advent yesterday after seeing it on your list - have you won anything yet? Have to wait until later today to do my website advents - giving my Mum all the log in details and showing her how to do it while I'm away

Nope the megane is to share Tete, we have no need of a second car. Its actually a megane estate, there is also a seat altea there we're considering test driving, and a blow the budget audi a3.

Aye just four reviews, going easy on myself That said I might end up doing more anyway, just see how the day goes. First one already done.

Is vitapointe used on wet or dry hair Cinny? I need something for when its wet so it dries in nice glossy curls rather than the current frizzy wavy mess. I used to use those big fructis balls of serum and they were fab, but they seem to have stopped making them.

What other advents have you found Cinny?! I've only found the Dorset cereals one. No wins yet.

Hehe. I don't know if there are guides on the dooyoo site however basically set yourself a photo first, a lot of people won't rate a member who hasn't even bothered with a piccie. Then go to the top bar and type in a product you want to review. Write the review and post it. Make sure it is over 150 words, preferably over 300 or so as otherwise you get a lot of 'usefuls' and not so many rates in total. You can also use the top search bar to search for members. I'm Dinah93, if you add me to your circle of friends I'll subscribe to your review alert and rate all your reviews. On the left is a bar with lots of options, if you click the 'new reviews' one you can rate other peoples reviews. If you click the 'new crowns' one you can see what makes a good review which is the standard to aim for. Hope that helps in a rambling way!

Hows the little un?

Right, am going to upload a photo now. Will add you as a friend. If anyone else would add me as a friend, I'm starlorna22. Can you write a review if anything you like, or is it better to try and find something more unusual?
Max is good thanks, he is a month old tomorrow :eek: I can't believe how the time is flying. I would love to start getting some sleep though. Breastfeeding is great, and so much more convenient, but they like to munch all night long :rotfl:
Hope you manage to get the mortgage sorted soon. We're only paying the interest on ours at the moment, so I'm keeping my eyes open for a job I can do where I won't have to pay any childcare and can work around the littlies.

Write it on anything you like, although people seem to get more crowns for the more unusual things like travel locations and obscure computery gadgets. Can't remember the last time I saw a food crown!

Vitapointe is used on just dry hair I think. Weird about the fructis stuff! I'm 100% sure they do a curling mousse though if that'll be any good?

I only have the one on Dorset, and one on Tombola bingo. I heard Bingoport are doing one? Or did I make that up?

Hi Littlebit,

Glad to hear all is going well with little Max (still my fave name if I have a boy!). I hope to be able to breastfeed as well. I am going to a hypnobirthing class tomorrow so amreally looking forward to it. Am also starting to buy bits and bobs along the way to try and cut down on cost.

Money wise - I am hoping to get under £13k this month and still maintain my savings for when the baby comes along. I have worked out that it will only really be about 6 weeks that we are just depending on SMP (Statutory Maternity Pay) so if we have savings of £5k hopefully we won't use all that on the baby and can pay off some of debts with it.

Meant to ask you Dinah (as you have been looking at cars). Oh is going to learn to drive at some stage next year and we would be hoping to get a Polo or a Toyota Yaris to start off with. We would want one that is a couple of years old, but not too old. I was just wondering if you would have any idea what time of figure/budget we should be looking at? Thanks in advance.

Hi CMD,

When I bought my Yaris a few years ago (54 plate), it cost me £7K, had a £1.5K trade-in so £5.5K (has alloys and stuff). I researched them for ages and although could get it cheaper, mines was dearer because it only had one previous owner and a low mileage. I love it, the best car I've ever owned.

Thanks Swinstie. It is good to know what the prices are. I like Toyota and it has been recommended by OH's brother - who is a mechanic. When we go to have a look we might get him to come over for the weekend to help us pick. He is excellent and loves coming over for a weekend. I defo would prefer not too many previous owners and also low mileage!
