Now I'm being nosy...Chris what does the roadkill stand for in your sig? I hope you don'tmind me asking.

Sorry it's taken so long to reply, I haven't been on here for a while. Don't know if anyone else would have explained 'roadkill'....

I'm in the sealed pot challenge, and roadkill is money you find lying in the street etc. that people have dropped and not bothered picking up. Sort of like all the dead animals you see on the roads that no-one picks up!

And yes, I've made a few of the Morsbags.... 112 now since last May. Some people in the organisation have made over 1000 each... I've got a long way to go before I catch them up! But every bag counts, and stops 500 plastic bags being used over its lifetime...

Hi all

As Sarah is scaring us with your Christmas countdown, I thought it would be a good time to add a link to this page about food hampers that I've recently come across.

It's also really good site for recipes by all your favourite tv chefs as well as lots of other subjects - health, relationships etc. Also does some good competitions..

Anyone started their magic challenge yet?

But we have loads of time and just think about how much you have done already, it might not seem a lot now but just think you wont be doing it in 8 months time on christmas eve:j

Hello my fellow MSE'ers, haven't been on a while - try and spend my computer time on ebay at the moment, loads to list etc but never a spare moment. Supposed to be doing some studing for my maths course now, but too tired and its just not going in - argh!
Anyway, I had a phone call earlier this afternoon from our local radio station to tell me I had been picked at random to play for £250 of curry's vouchers and yes I won:T:T:TWe want to get ds a tv for his room for Christmas and now we don't have to save up for it. I am over the moon!!!!!

Had to share this with you - also we are in the final of a comp to win a holiday to Center Parcs, will find out in June if we have won it, fingers crossed, could really do with that!

Will catch up on thread later and post again soon - keep up the good work ladies and gents Foxy

Foxy - thats brilliant, congratulations, bet ds be exicted xx

Keep fingers crossed for the Centre parks break.

Not a bad morning here,

£6.00 Marks and Spencers gift card - some chocs were horrible, we returned them to store where they refunded me £3.00 (on offer at half price for £3.00) then the card - thats gone into the xmas purse.

At last - £15 love to shop vouchers came from Toluna - again xmas purse, managed to get enough points to order another £15 Love to shop

Taking part in a misdelievery survey in May - get £6.00 Love to shop vouchers, the all go up towards my xmas shop at iceland xx

LOL!!!! no, nothing like that, although it would be very MSE to pick up all the roadkill we find in our country lanes..... rabbits, squirrels, hedgehogs, pheasants....
