    Happy Mothers Day :happylove
    Thanks Mags. I had a lovely time.

    I felt really carp on Friday driving home - really queasy and felt like I could nod off at any moment. I almost didn't get the food shopping done I felt so bad. Glad I did. It only came to £36.45, that's one thing to be said for shopping when you feel sick - you're not tempted by anything that's not on your list!

    Felt a lot better by Saturday morning so was fine for going out to the 40th birthday party in the evening. Just as well because I had a real skinful!

    No hangover though :T and WLM made me scrambled eggs and smoked salmon...mmmm lovely. He killed my wok though! Need to get another one.

    My sis and I took our mum and the kids out to a fish restaurant for lunch and it was lovely. Felt very tired when we got in and all fell asleep on the sofa!

    A lovely day though....

    Forgot to say - OnePoll £40 came through on Friday and sold another dress on eBay :)

    well done on onepoll. I have given up they are sooooooo slow.

    £8.70 on OnePoll now. There were loads of surveys today but i was just so busy at work i couldn't do them all! The speed varies I have found, sometimes it's OK next moment it's crawling along.

    Another pair of jeans sold on eBay. I have 2 items ending tonight and one ending tomorrow. 2 watchers....

    Just a half day tomorrow because I am going along to DD's Easter Bonnet parade in the afternoon. It will be the last one I go to because next year she will be in the juniors and I don't think they do things like this. We are just using the hat we made in year R that we also used last year. Very MSE and recycling too :D

    I have booked wednesday off too because it is her easter assembly. It's slap bang in the middle of the day so i thought I'd take the whole day off.

    Mum and Dad have cleared their loft out. I have now been reunited with all the vinyl I bought about 20 years ago. Clearly I had more disposable income then. I must have spent a fortune! Or had a very generous boyfriend ;) There's loads of original albums, picture discs, shaped picture discs, numbered discs, imports, rare boxed stuff etc. Anyone know where I can go to check if they're worth anything? :D

    £8.90 on OnePoll :)

    £31.55 from OnePoll Cashback was BACS'd to my account on 1.4.11 so should be received tomorrow by my reckoning. Good, I had an expensive weekend.

    Off to dust off my vinyl......

    Busy day so far...

    Dropped DD off at school.
    Went to Mr M's with a list of just 5 things and ended up spending £16!! I get seduced by the cleaning products :o. Got soem goats cheese and some smoked bavarian cheese. I lurve cheese :D
    Cleaned bathroom.
    Hung washing out as it's such a lovely day.
    Went to see DD's easter concert. Lovely as always and got a front seat!
    Popped to post office, posted off last ebay parcel.
    Popped into bakers and treated us to a cupcake each for tonight. I have a thing about buttercream.
    Now making risotto seeing as i have the time. DD doesn't like it so i don't bother making it very often these days.

    £9.25 on OnePoll.

    A quick tot up of my vinyl using conservative guesstimates based on what's on ebay comes to £350!! And that's just the ones I could be bothered to look up!!

    Bashed my left b00b at pole last night :o very sore today...

    Just put my bet on for the Grand National tomorrow - Hello Bud. I'm not a gambler but I do like having a flutter on the GN - makes the race som much more interesting. I've got West End Rocker in the sweepstake here at work. Very apt name for me!

    I have bought a breadmaker! Not an expensive one although this one does seem to do quite a lot and it was recommended to me by someone who knows about these things. TBH I don't eat bread during the week as I find it makes me feel bloated and uncomfortable but I'm wondering if I'd feel better if I made my own. At least I will know what's gone into it.

    £10.40 on OnePoll now. They are definitely being more generous. Doesn't seem to be any 5p surveys any more - mainly 15p,20p and 25p. Should reach the £40 target much quicker now :D

    Oh wow! That's a LOT. Is it on ebay you need to sell it or is there a more convenient way?

    Ouch @ pole injuries

    Front row seat for the Easter Bonnet parade :T

    People on the old style board love their breadmakers (and slowcookers of course), go visit them to find out how best to use it :)

    I just love the idea of the house smelling of freshly baked bread! I'm a typical cancerian - a real homelover :)

    :)

    I'm not sure. Part of me doesn't really want to get rid of them. I would like to get one of those gizmos that converts vinyl to MP3.

    I really just want to play them all and re-live my youth :D
