    Could he watch the Nick. Awards thingy? Sit him next to the popcorn with a little sign saying 'I love Justin Bieber'!

    2 more reviews down (they're lame) but hey! I am determined to get my !!! in gear for this challenge! Otherwise whats the point of a challenge!! :) Paid my rent today so now at least I have somewhere to start from, I now owe the bf £240, and need to pay the CC about £70, and I have £180.. I should get paid about £50 next week though, and I am at home so have a little less out goings :)

    Just had to take a trip down to the Post Office to post a computer game sold on Amazon but at least it'll be £10 in my pocket.

    Getting some rating in on DY but can't be bothered really as half the people don't bother to rate you back anyway!

    I know what you mean Dippy, its so annoying! I cant believe you've clocked up as many reviews as you have, you do so well on there. Well done on the sale too, thats good! I've sold 2 DVDs over the past couple of days, only £8 in my Amazon account at the mo.

    It seems like the Sims buying frenzy is over, no sales for me the past 2 days! There's only 3 games left, I hope someone decides they want them!

    I'm going to have to write 2 reviews tonight as my suggestions have been added and I'll just get mad if someone gets the first review on them!

    It's a case of writing reviews all night or carry on sorting the Craft Desk of Doom! The desk itself is looking fabby as I emptied it and put very little back on it and in the drawers... but the floor around it is now littered with stuff needing a home! It's taken all week to sort that spare room, I must finish it!

    I'm doing some work for my Dad tomorrow, hopefully I'll get £20 for it so that'll keep me solvent until I get paid next Friday! I've got some money put aside for London if I get desperate but I've already dipped into it a bit and don't want to take any more out!

    Having done so many reviews means I've exhausted everything I've ever used! Got a couple of skincare products to review but mostly it's the big pile of books I brought back from the library yesterday. Hmm ... that lots not going to take me to 50k is it!

    Congrats on the DVDs - I think for most people literally everything helps at the moment!

    A letter came today reminding me I'm due for an eye test, which will no doubt mean new glasses too so that's £140 I wasn't banking on paying out. Normally that'd come out of my newly named 'semi-regular expenses' fund (was the VSP before that) but £80 of that is already earmarked for stuff. Grr .. why does everything come up in between paydays?! (I'm freelance so my paydays aren't as regular as most people's!). Anyway, rant over!

    Do you still get extra points for being the first to review a product? I think it used to be like that but I'm not sure any more as I'm never the first person to get one in!

    I don't know, it's the principle of someone 'stealing' my idea that I get mad about!

    Not sure if it is on Dooyoo, but you get extra points/money on Ciao if yours in the first :D

    Me too! But really, its pathetic! Like the drama that surrounded My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding review and the effort i put in! Lol now about 3 other people have done reviews on it, so i'm over it now. Mines the best anyway! :p:rotfl:

    Dippy, you said you're freelance...do you mind me being nosey and asking you what you do?
