    Oooh, your holidays sounds lovely (but will be bl**dy cold!). Speaking of cold, it is very chilly these days. Resisted putting on the heating today but I did wear fingerless gloves at work. :D

    It will definitely be nice, just expensive!

    I should get some fingerless gloves I reckon. I'm just a wuss though!

    I've redeemed £10 for amazon from a survey site today, yay! :T And also received £5 amazon from bingoport, though I've already counted this.

    I've listed 5 items on Turbo lister to upload later, and sold a few items on ebay which gives me £13.55.

    I decided to list my empty ink cartridges to try them out, and they've sold :j:j That's definitely money for nothing, as normally I've just binned them!

    We do seem to be similar in a number of ways DDFW. You should go up there one day, we got married there :smileyhea so it's always a nice place for us to go. It's stunning.

    You're welcome on the gift, it's only small. You didn't come across at all materialistic before, it was a worry for you so it was right to post about it. When it's been a tough year you deserve a nice pressie after all!

  • Just popping in to say Hi, my Internet connection isn't so good unfortunately I'm on a 2 year contract with my dongle and it's only 3 months in.

    Have a good weekend and keep those ebay sales up.
  • Hi everyone - aww thats lovely jwil and will be lovely for you to return there too :) i do keep trying to persuade OH - we will see what the new year brings as i can't see us managing it this year :cool:

    peaceandfreedom - hi, hope you are well :D

    retiredandskint - grr! to your dongle playing up, i can only suggest what you've probably already done which is to get in touch with the company as they are not providing you with the service you are paying for - unless of course its another reason such as the area you're in? Hope it all settles down soon :)

    So far this morning i've done 1 lot of my free bingo and managed 1 survey having got screened out of 5 others.

    Hope its a good friday for all :)

    Good to see you again retired, I was just wondering last night how you were getting on as we hadn't seen you for a while. That's really annoying about the dongle, like DDFW says, I hope you can do something about it.

    Hope you have a good weekend too! :)

    I hope you do make it up there DDFW, it is lovely.

    Happy Friday from me too, hope everyone is planning a nice weekend. The weather looks rubbish so probably some decluttering and ebaying from me.

    So, time to confess - who's got a drawer like this in their house?

    The weather's looking rubbish this weekend, so I'm feeling a decluttering list coming on.

    DH the other day started going through his huge piles of magazines and newspapers :j:j so if he carries on with that this weekend, we might actually have access to one of the radiators in time for winter. :rotfl:

    I'm going to see if I can get rid of 100 things this weekend.
