The Ultimate Incentive to have an amazing 2010.

Yeah very excited but a bit nervous because we haven't signed contract. Sure will all be fine though.

Just rang insurance company up about my accident last year and they are still waiting to hear from 3rd party grrr! Last thing I heard they had some discrepencies with 3rd party's statement which they had put forward. Really hope they managed to prove them!

I hope the insurance is sorted soon Wendz! Exciting about the flat too!

OH's parents have sold their house (well, accepted an offer and waiting for things to move on) as they're downsizing and we keep getting offers of random bits of furniture, the latest one being a wardrobe which is fantastic as we wanted one just like the one they're giving us for our bedroom! Yay!

Heels: I only wear high heels when I'm going out and I always have to wear the little Scholl ball of foot cushioned pad things or I can't actually walk in them!

Hello everyone, hope you all had good easters!

I've had a great few days, me and OH took the little ones to this Dinosaur themed crazy golf place, they loved it! Then we made an easter cake and done paintings on Saturday and weirdo OH chose to do some overtime at work (shouldnt really complain, should i? ). Had a family meal on Sunday which was nice and chilled out. Yesterday me and OH took the munchkins to an old victorian house place (we didnt go in, they wouldve been bored senseless and it cost extra!) but they had 2 adventure playgrounds, a runaway train ride, bouncy castle, a maze, woodland walks were all the trees were carved into animals etc and the best bit was 72 life sized dinosaurs! They loved it and we took loads of pictures. Lol nephew is into dinosaurs, not me, incase you were wondering :rotfl: So feeling more positive! They've just gone home, but i will have them again next week.

Got my training at work tomorrow. Sorry for waffling! :D

It sounds like you had a brilliant weekend Lulu, that victorian house place sounds great!

I'm sat here counting down the minutes until 5... really want to go home now! I just logged onto Amazon hoping that I hadn't made any sales because I don't have time to go to the post office and there are 3 sales on there! It's great but don't they know I'm too busy and tired to be going to the Post Office today?! I probably won't even get there before the last post leaves anyway so I think I'll just parcel them up and ask OH to post them tomorrow morning.

Oh well done on the Amazon sales! Good thing we didnt do an Amazon challenge, you'd be miles ahead!! Although saying that...please dont mention the Dooyoo challenge, i havent written one thing and im only just on there now returning rates. Uh oh

Your sounding positive Dinah, whats the plan for the new business?

Birdie - I get emails letting me know if an item has sold so I don't have to keep logging in. Do you not get that? I don't remember setting anything up specifically, I just assumed it was an automatic thing. Well done on the sales!

Lulu - Glad you had a good time over Easter!

Tink - Yay on getting over halfway on the dissertation!

Sorry to mention DY Lulu but I've just uploaded another review. It won't count for this week's weigh-in as the points won't have cleared but at least it's another 500 miles in the bag!

Thanks for all the advice so far. The reason OH doesn't get dole money is because they say he hasn't paid enough NI over the last year but that is because he didn't actually get paid so all money went into the business to keep it going. So it looks like we would have been better off closing the business down earlier. He was a director of a limited company so technically he was an employee of the company but that doesn't seem to matter. He still signs on just incase and also to pay a NI stamp for his pension.

Dippy- I do get e-mails from Amazon but it's to my personal account which I can't get into at work. I don't have a printer at home either so even when I do get the e-mails at home I can't print off the address slip thingy!

I haven't done any more Dooyoo this week! Argh, I'm so bad!
