    Just got asked if I can do 6 extra shifts for a previous mindee so extra pennies for me :j he can be a bit of a handful but he knows better when he comes to mine :rotfl: might regret it but it's a once off as they go back to school soon

    Might have sold a keyring on fb......it's a Audi one that hubby got for free when he used to work there so just waiting on them getting back to me as they are asking for me to post it and I wasn't sure of the price......more pennies to the Halifax card if they do pay :T

    Wee mindee is sleeping :T Kk playing with play doh

    Off to catch up on the diaries as got no surveys to do :( but have £22.47 confirmed and £4.67 pending.........this will be getting put towards new curtains for my living room seen some on eBay and have sent them a message if they would take £50 for both sets rather than £30 a set as I need two sets and they ebay been on fb for months but they are exactly what I want as Argos no longer sell them xx

    Great news about the extra mindee.

    Hope your offer for the curtains gets accepted.

    Thanks ladies the seller is away til Sunday so hopefully I get a response next week xx

    Working 7.30am til 5pm today mindee eating husband breakfast and so am I :D

    Sent £7.01 towards the Halifax card :T leaving me with £79.10 but I've got three sets of parents still to pay me today :D so if they all pay I'll be clearing the balance today

    Just noticed if I do clear my mini target today I'll only be £38.54 from getting my card under the £5k bracket so if all goes well and I get paid on time I might try and find this amount :cool: a target within a mini target. Can only try :)

    Topper was bought yesterday and I have to be honest it was a comfy sleep :j although it took me ages to nod off then hubby started sleeping like a tractor :rotfl: so he was comfy and we both woke up not aching :j so hopefully it continues :D

    Got playgroup to set up today the about 2/3pm my baby girl comes back from her cadets annual camp :T I've missed her :D bet she start selling annoying me are a hour :rotfl:

    Managed to collect £260 of avon orders in last night :T not bad :cool: hoping we can hit £500 in orders with this book

    Got the boys to sort through their pjs Xander got rid of 4 sets and 2 onesies, Kk got rid of about 4 pairs majority went into the sale pile :D so I've already got Kk a set of pjs in the sale before we went on holiday and I'll need to get a couple of sets for Xander for his birthday

    Speaking of birthday Xander has only asked for a game which was £46.99 preowned in the shops :eek::eek::eek: managed to get it on eBay for £25.99 on eBay :T and I've ordered him a adidas hoodie, a Nike hoodie and a pair of Nike tracksuit bottoms as I couldn't see a tracksuit I liked so a couple of pair of pjs and he'll be sorted :T

    Right off to wake my lazy boys xx

    You're doing amazing Abba!

    We still don't have anyone local doing Avon. I guess it saves me money :rotfl: But still a pain!

    Hope you have a lovely day

    What mattress topper did you get? I'm so achey in the mornings, but can't afford a new mattress at the moment. I'm wondering if a topper might make a difference.
