Happy Birthday Savvy, sorry to hear its not that great.

Don't get me started on cars when things start to look up something always happens to the car. Just had it in the garage beginning of this month £300!

Added another review on C tonight. Going to keep going with that till the 23rd then we are away, Christmas at my sisters.

:j Toluna have redeemed my Amazon voucher that was claimed on 15th of NOVEMBER!!!! When I recovered from my faint thought it best to let all know if any last minute spending to be done.

Morning everyone.

Hi Samba - how are you doing hun?

The PF fund on Ciao has been paid (I presume) it usually tells you how much you got, but it doesn't say today. Anyway, I've jumped from £32 to £49, if they applied my £7 for the promotion at the same time, I've received £10 PF so not too bad for a weeks work. I didn't manage to get any reviews on the site yesterday. I was busy all day, and then when we got back from DD's concert I was just too tired. I hope to get three on again today, so that the extra one from Tues, and today will cover for none yesterday.

Have a good day everyone - off to make sandwiches for DD's school party.

RE: Viva - I was thinking the same as you Savvy - but I just couldn't make out why they were telling us about the £5 charge, if the amount we received stayed the same.

Ooh Elysia how was the concert?

Well done everyone on the reviews your all doing great! Still something I dont fancy doing but am plodding away quite well! I know aready that I am money neutral this year and we have had a few bits or furniture for free too! All down to the support from you guys and Elysia you have been fab! Now I am not going to get all soppy but guarentee by the time I have had a few wines over the Christmas period you will get a post of soppiness, bad spelling and slurring! lol

Connor has his concert at 1.45 and I am charging up the cameras, just incase 1 doesnt work I have a back up (sad I know), and next we will be both having a bath! I am so excited you wouldnt believe, again sad I know!

Sold nearly £20 worth of reindeer food so far, am quite happy with that and hopefully everyone will ask again next year so could have a little Christmas business going on here! lol

Morning everyone.

My C shot up to £94. I looked and it said I got £20 from the premium fund this month. It is quite exciting looking at it each day and seeing how much it goes up by. So I got nearly a fiver again just for putting on 3 reviews.

I'm going to the nativity this morning, so I will get some stuff on when I get back. Must remember some tissues. DS1 is so excited.

We had the santa who goes round the streets for charity last night. It is starting to feel christmassy.

Sorry still havent caught up - am so addicted to this Facebook selling is unbelieveable, have taken £65 in 3 days!!! legend you again live up to your name not only for recommending this but also for saying about the reindeer food. I had some Reindeer droppings and Snowman soup left over from my craft fair and your comment prompted me to try them on Facebook and they had sold out before i even had time to write the info on them!!! Thanks

Claros - that's what we are all here for - to help each other.

Michelle - woohoo. That's a terrrrrrifficcc start to January's totals. Well done hun. You ought to be extremely proud of yourself and give yourself a special treat when you break through the £100 barrier. You said you'd do £75 and to get to £100 halfway through the month is astounding.

ETA: I just double checked and it still doesn't mention the pf on mine. Just the ordinary points. I can't have jumped up £17 overnight without any PF, and I had loads of E's. Odd???

Legend - Don't you'll have me blubbing again. I'm so proud of all of you all - you've all done fantastically well. Oh my lovely ladies (and flycatchers), you're all amazing.

DD was in the Choir - and Yr 6 acted out a sort of Nativity. It started off with the elves in Santa's workshop asking why they had to work so hard to make toys every year. Then Santa told the nativity story. It was so lovely. Between every act the choir had to sing a song - most of them were in a rocky style and happy songs, rather than tradtional, and then they sung this one song, can't remember the title now, and I blubbed the whole way through. The church was all candle lit and it was lovely. :A

Good luck to Connor Legend, and your DS Michelle. Have a lovely time, and don't forget to take plenty of tissues. The little ones are so sweet. x

OMG CLAROS! I was thinking about doing snowman soup but didnt know how well it would go down! Might consider it later but at the moment I have sugar and oats everywhere! lol

Hi again

I have caught up now, sorry for being so slack!!! My second New Years Resolution (after quitting smoking) is to stay up to date with this thread the whole of next year. I havent signed up to DY or Chow but next year I am determined to try. Elysia can you let me know the name of the new thread when it is set up so I dont miss it? thanks

Not sure if I told you all but I recently got kicked off the stupid bingo site too, was very annoyed as I had just redeemed and they cancelled the redeem and kicked me out, it took them ages to respond to my query about why they had kicked me off and the response was ridiculous, sorry but if you dont want people to always take the £5 amazon voucher as their redeem then change your system so they cant! Rant over was just annoyed as it was so boring having to write all those comments just to get the points then got kicked out without reaping the benefit - oh wel I guess I knew it was coming because a lot of you got kicked out too.

Savvy - so sorry for not saying Happy Birthday yesterday, hope you had a lovely birthday in the end, my brothers and sister are quite rubbish too, my mum has to remind them all and even then I dont necessarily hear from them - never mind!

Rufus, love what you have done with the chairs, you are so talented!

Legend - yes do the snowman soup! I would make more if I could be bothered to face the shops to get more stock but I really cant! Im so pleased with my sales, was considering doing a carboot sale but there is no way I would have got that much money and this way I didnt have to stand in the cold - love it

Hope everyone else is well x

elysia2003

Claros - oh No!!! I thought we got chucked off because we were too rowdy on chat - It was Legends fault.

It looks lke they only want to allow people to play who actually sign up to other bingo sites via them though. What a carp site!!!! They really should be reported to trading standards - or whatever it is for online sites. Someone should do something about them. Ohhhh it makes me so cross.

Sent you a pm about piney. And don't worry about the new thread, I will get this one locked, so the only thrifty money one in use will be the new one, and if you don't post, I'll come and find you. (I've done that before too. LOL)
