    DH is painting the nursery - isn't he wonderful! I was hoping DD would nap but she wants to help with the painting. Had a few twingey pains while we were out buying paint, curtain pole etc and have taken it as a sign to sit down! Baby is incredibly active today, I wonder if he is about to make a big turn and go head down before he runs out of room!

    Returned Lovefilm dvd's, watched SALT last night and although I fell asleep before the end it was a really good film, DH really enjoyed it too.

    Right, off to check onepoll again!

    Keep at it, i think it's realistic to hit £40 every few months so is worth it. You have to keep checking the site, you can get £1 some days. :)

    8pm tomorrow! I can't wait. Off for 16 days, then back in work for 3 weeks - off for 2 weeks. Back for 2 weeks then I finish for 9 months! Actually go away 4th July so have a week off at home first which will be handy to get things organised.

    TBH i used to do the majority of the decorating as I have always worked less than DH but we share it now. It's only a tiny room so didn't take long but I did have to oversee it a bit as he removed the curtain track but not the brackets and just painted around them. It needs another coat but I may end up doing that as his next day off we have a wedding to go to.

    75p on onepoll today, I am up to 36.25 - it's taking forever to get to payout! Not heard off them re: my missing referral bonus.

    Quick question, I requested amazon voucher from TCB last week and not received an email and nothing showing on my TCB account. Any ideas?

    DD has driven me to distraction today - no idea what has got into her.

    She possibly had a little too much sugar yesterday too!

    I will be careful painting, the smell was pretty strong in that room last evening but think it's 'aired' quite well now. Unfortunately there is the usual chaos associated with decorating and I just can't be bothered finding a home for everything at the moment. Am going to get todays shift out of the way and then try and find my mojo (it has been missing for a while :rotfl:)

    Payday today so all accounts organised and arranged for £150 to go out tomorrow but am going to count it as July's OP. This does mean that I have knocked another month off the term! :j

    I may ring bank re: student account and see of they will extend my overdraft period if I reduce it. Not sure how willing they will be to do this as I don't regularly credit the account.

    Bought DD some doodles off ebay last night for 99p! Once they arrive I will list the shoes she is wearing at the moment.

    Right, off to check onepoll!
