Congrats NickyBo - I'm so excited for you.

Well done Jane - Nearly finished all those presents. I must admit I'm nearly done throughout the year but not a lot for Christmas yet.

Ddraig - is it this weekend you go? Enjoy yourself, and have a nice rest!

Woo claimed a £10 amazon voucher on valued opinions, and ordered the Psychoville dvd for OH as a valentines present, its kinda for us both through, as we never managed to catch it when it was on so we both want it lol. And found I already had a £5 voucher in there so got just under £6 left I think. Got an appointment at bank tomorro to try get an overdraft extension to pay my rent with on my old account so hopefully they will be generous after what happened! I cant believe how well everyone is doing, you'll all be millionaires in 10 years at this rate lol xx

Hi All,

I have 5 out of 72 reviews on Dooyoo locked, and have been sent an email saying I cannot redeem any points until they are unlocked. I have added some more info to try and unlock them. Has anyone else had this, and if so how do you know if and when they have been unlocked?

Thanks and things xxx

I had a good look at my spreadsheet and have now put on all events through the year including Valentines (no spend of course), Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day etc and have realised there's so much more I spend on than just birthdays and christmas - I'm not being thick or anything - just seeing it written down makes you more aware. At least I know what I'm aiming towards - hopefully most of these pressies will be homemade.

Elysia2003 you are doing brilliantly - I think that compared to some people I probably don't have as many to buy for since I only buy my family and DH buys for his, so really I only have half iyswim - although that is plenty for me.

Ddraig - every little helps doesn't it?

Ddraig

Certainly does help.Ive had a lifting of spirits today.Have joined mums opinion.I had not heard of it til reading it here.
I also joined youngpoll.Did some of my toluna,valued opinions and onepoll.I have finally decided on a target and that is to have enough money and vouchers to cover the 3 daughters main xmas gifts.Seeing as one of them is a notebook/laptop i'l have to work prettty hard,lol.

Glad your spirits have lifted Ddraig

I've finally got round to listing some things on Ebay - just some stuff I had lying around so I only put it on for 99p so I don't have to pay listing fees. Hope something sells

Everyone is doing it in different ways, from making things to sell to match betting, but Ebay is the most popular.

I received my £20 voucher from Dooyoo. Still have a few payments waiting to be paid.

I got another pack of nice papers yesterday from the Works for one of my sisters and 3 packs of nice embellishments from 99p store. Am thinking about making one of the storage bag/box things on jammy's blog to put them in.
