    Evening all.....well done on all this decluttering ladies!

    DD1 has just split up with her boyfriend, so tears and traumas here for the last hour.....never a dull moment!

    Pap - Will I be ok to post those bits to you whilst you're away or will it be best left until you come back?

    Evening Pooky, :( for your DD1, was it her first? You can send them if you want Pooky as lil bro is still home, but if you want leave them until the weekend as then I will be home :D Whichever is easiest...

    Yes - her first real proper boyfriend - been nearly 2 months now - bless him he's got so much going on that he said he just couldn't cope with everything - she's calmed down about it now - she's got 4 of her GCSE's in the next couple of weeks so it's a good time for her to concentrate on work anyway.

    It's hard work being 14 now-a-days. :cool:

    elfen - I'm just working out if I should set up a separate email addy for surveys - or is it only worth it for comping? I don't want to ruin my good email addy with spam.

    Ive just had a £50 quid cheque from You Gov.
    Took a couple of years but hey it was free money :grin:
    That is exactly the way I'm trying to think about it - a bit like low value comping with a guaranteed prize eventually.

    I use a seperate email addy for everything comp or freebie related - saves hassle.

    Elfen - That's fast working!!!! Enjoy it!
