    Don't worry about it Scatty - you've got got treat yourself once in a while or you'll go mad! :D

    I just completed £2.50 worth of surveys on VO. So I'm over the £10 for an Amazon voucher.

    I've just listed another couple of things on ebay. I need to totally declutter and spring clean the house properly, but I can't seem to find the motivation. :(

    I'm really sorry Susan. It was just the post afterwards that made me laugh...I hadn't even noticed up until then.

    Please don't be offended, I type too fast and my fingers miss the keys, that's why my spelling is terrible.

    Have had success with two sales on ebay for those things I bought for 10p, I have a bid on the 3rd, and watchers on the other two. So I'm so close to finishing the challenge.

    How's everyone else coming along? I must admit this challenge is a bit tricky - However do they do it on the main thread, whatever it's called, £100 - £100,000 something of other? Now that must be a nightmare!

    I was just in the right place at the right time for the bits outs of Wilkinsons, and Mum gave me the bag for free, so I was really lucky.

    Apologies again Susan - I forgot to ask, Is your back any better after having a bit of a rest?

    You take it easy for a bit. Let OH and the kids wait on you for a change.
