*NEW* Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & Occasions 2010

Brilliant Pammy. I'm sure you'll have a great time all together. It's lovely when something happens like that (finding the vouchers) - like when you put on a different coat, or use an old handbag and you find a tenner in the pocket! I love it.

Not sure if anyone else saw this, but tenpin are doing a pomotion at the moment where bowling on mondays and tuesdays is free, save for a 50p online booking fee! We did this the other day and paid a total of £3.12 for 2 adults and 1 child bowling, including our drinks...

Worth checking out if you've got a birthday coming up, or someone would like bowling as a present! If you order drinks when you book (limited selection) they're cheaper too.

Good luck silly rabbit on your challenge, I'm trying to do three reviews a week and I'm not quite managing that, so I shall watch your reviews with interest (I've added you to my circle of friends). I managed one review today and I'm in the process of writing another, but I've got friends coming around later so will probably not get that finished. My problem is I tend to want to write quite in depth reviews, so I think about and research my reviews a lot. Though, having said that, todays one was on chocolate!

My make £20 out of £1 challenge is going fairly slowly. I bought the bits to make a pair of earrings, so have done that, just need to try and sell them now. Maybe my sister will be interested as they would go perfectly with her new dress (a little sneaky I know, but I'm sure it's allowed, right? )

Well, didn't get anything done last night despite having a big list of plans. We received an awful phonecall to say DH's auntie had died. Although she had been in hospital it was very unexpected as she initially only went in for a routine operation. She developed blood clots on her lungs and a list of other problems but was still expected to recover. For some reason she fell into a coma on Wednesday and died yesterday. DH is devasted as she was like a second mum to him, he even lived with her for a few years.

Tonight my to do list is:
* Weigh Ebay stuff and work out postage
* List things on Ebay (don't want to wait until next Thursday now)
* Write at least 1 review on Dooyoo
* Return all ratings on Dooyoo
* Bit or ironing (lowest priority though!)

Hope you are all doing better than me!

sorry to hear that ((nicky)), how terrible.

Nicky, my heartfelt condolences about your DH's Auntie.

It's ended? Oh poo! They had a big banner up when we went last Monday and no indication it was ending. I wanted to go again!
