    Been a busy bee since we got home. Cleaned bathroom, cooked dinner, cleared up, did bikini line and a pile of ironing. I need to start clearing out DD's bedroom but that will have to wait until tomorrow now because she is asleep. I have no idae where I am going to put everything :eek: It will probably end up in my room but I will hate it. My room is the tidiest in the house, my little haven of calm - it's going to irritate me so much while it's all in there :( Still it won't be for too long.

    I told DD about the holiday this morning and she is so excited. i think I probably should have waited until end of June before I told her :rotfl:

    Just realised that I will need a new passport. Mine expires on 29 June - what a nuisance!

    £35.50 on One Poll. They are definitely slowing down with the surveys though - I'm sure it's not my imagination!

    £36 on OnePoll :)

    Just seen that I am doing really well on My Survey too :)

    WLM has managed to get me £40 for DD's wardrobe and chest :) that can go towards the cost of the paint. I'm not looking forward to emptying them tonight :(

    Just been for a run and it is freezing out although nice and sunny now. Pole class tonight :)

    OnePoll have been quite generous today - now on £36.60 :)

    Had a great pole class, then spent half an hour clearing out DD's wardrobe - my room is a mess now but it will only be for a week :)

    Just had a lovely bubble bath, still going to ache tomorrow though :o

    The posts about WLM are helping restore my faith in men, he sounds SO LOVELY :) Why is he called WLM again? Did you meet him when he called to fix your washing line?

    He is lovely :)

    Don't you just love that bath you have when you've been working really hard decorating? Just had mine and am feeling very relaxed. Going to get DD into bed soon (mine) then going to have a cream cake and catch up on all the TV I've missed recently (Mad Dogs and Friday Night Dinner). Also going to start watching Green Wing Dvds that WLM has leant me.

    WLM has gone home :( not before he'd worked really hard on DD's bedroom though :T He painted the ceiling and the coving while DD and I went to buy the paint. There was 15% off in Homebase today if you spent over £50 so 2 tins of F&B came to £50.13 after that. Even better news is we only used one of them so can take the other back tomorrow and get some money back :) The coverage was really good.

    Up until 2 hours ago our house was so messy. The only tidy room was the bathroom :o I can't believe how much of DD's stuff was spilling into all the other rooms. I have tidied it now and found a load of old junk to take to the tip tomorrow. Very cathartic.

    Busy day tomorrow:

    Order carpet
    Take paint back
    Take up laminate in DD's room
    Take stuff to tip
    Huge pile of ironing

    Dinner at Mum's tomorrow thank goodness.

    OnePoll now at £37.45 but I think I've missed all the surveys today.

    OnePoll Cashback is at £31.55 :j so i think I can request that back now or at least £25 (it's the first time I've got over £25).

    I'll get £40 for DD's wardrobe and chest of drawers.

    So hopefully that's an extra £105 I should be getting by end of next week :j

    I don't think there were any surveys there today - I checked about 4 times and nowt...:( So you havent missed out! I'm quite pleased to be on £10.40...not bad seeing as I got my £40 about 3 weeks ago - you'll hit it this week:T:T
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    I thought Onepoll didn't put any surveys up at the weekend, I read that somewhere on MSE before.

    Lovely to hear that the painting and decorating is going so well, it's so much easier when someone's helping you too.
