Tete en l’Air’s Feet On The Ground Diary

I got them in TJ Hughes for £70 Swinstie, I love them and they're heavy and feel like good quality, can't wait to get cooking with them! They seem to be discontinued but you might get lucky in one of those kinds of shops? I saw one in TK Maxx a while back but it was just one little pan!

I'm not listening to you Lulu, I'm logging off and drinking my vino!

Sorry!

I dont understand how you lot do it on Dooyoo? I put a review up last night and i've still only had 20 rates on it
I return every single rate i get, and i have rated double more reviews then i have recieved! Its becoming really time consuming (not like i've got much else to do :rotfl:) but i dont seem to be getting anywhere, even though i'm putting loads of effort in. Whats the secret!?

I've only had 33 on the one I put up at about 4pm yesterday, I get an average of about 50 rates I'd say - I have one review with 100 but that's the exception! I know that people like Poddle have hundreds of rates on their reviews, but she rates a lot bit doesn't write an awful lot - I guess you have to find the balance that works for you. I'm happy to spend time rating to build my 'profile' with others, but at the same time I'd like to spend some of my time writing because it's more profitable, I'm happy to earn about £1 per review. I don't know, I'm rambling a bit! I tend to rate a few of each person's reviews if I can, that way they might do the same for me...

lulu984

Yeah that was my game plan too, just doesnt seem to be working lol
Gonna have to get my bum in gear and crank out a few more reviews.

You will have more people rate you over time you just need to persevere. Also the more reviews you write the less people will rate as some people don't go on every day.

I haven't been on dooyoo in ages. Having a bit of a break.

Tete_en_l'Air

You're prolific when you do do it though Wendz - I've just done one a day for the past two days and that's about as good as it gets with me!

Just been to get the ingredients for OH's celebratory blueberry cake, came to about £8! Though I did need to stock up on flour and icing sugar which didn't help. I'm looking forward to trying it in my new ring mould Blueberry muffins are normally a disaster so we'll see if it's just them or blueberries in general that don't like me!

Also planning on doing another little cat hanger in a different colour, I reckon I could do it in an hour now that I've found all my fabric, cut out the template and worked out how best NOT to stuff it...

Perhaps another Dooyoo this afternoon too ... I find I'm more productive without a list at the moment...

W00t! Swish pans Tete, big up the TJ Hughes!

Am a bit snowed under at the moment, I am living MSE vicariously through you Lulu, you're doing really well. Just seem to have no time and be spening money - how can one vaccination cost £47?!! And the rest!

Tete, would love to see your clothes when you and Dinah get finished. Any pics of your cat hanger?

See you all on Dooyoo on the weekend (listen to me, it's only Tuesday)

Tete_en_l'Air

Yes Lara but tomorrow it's Wednesday and then it's practically Friday... Yack to the vaccination cost, but it'll be worth it (esp as you won't be stricken down with some tropical disease!) - when is it you go? Have you handed your notice in yet, how did that go?

Here is my cat:

He's a bit wonky but charming I think!

I wish! I keep getting huge set backs, because i'm getting charges left right and centre. Stupid woman off ebay pushed me over the edge too! Lol but i have enough spare time on my hands to be doing all these bits and bobs. Thanks though, its nice to report back to you lot and have a record of everything i'm doing.

Awww cute cat - thats the fabric I'm using for my skirt/dress thingy.
