    Not sure whether or not to keep dooyoo up, its easy money but it seems to take me forever to write a review

    In my experience, first thing is actually the best time to write them (well, it is if you've had a coffee). Most of my good reviews were battered out before 9am with a head full of caffeine :) Let's see that list as soon as you're fully awake and we can pester you to get things finished!

    Well today was my first day off now I am on three days weeks. Have had a lovely restful day. Popped into work and went to lunch with one of my mates and then I went to see my beautiful niece and nephew. Tonight I am off out for a chinese with two of my friends.

    My dd is with her daddy tonight so tomorrow I have the luxury of a proper lay in. I am going to turn my phones off and the alarm and wake up naturally, something I very rarely get to do.

    On the flip side though it is a completely child and work free day so I will need a monster list to get through to make up for doing nothing today :p
