Hi everyone, I can't believe how well we are all doing and I know I wouldn't have made anywhere as near as much as I did without the encouragement and support of you all xx

Sam-mumof4 - I know what you mean about affording Christmas last minute, this thread has helped me cover all the costs so far, think I am about half way there so hopefully we can cover the cost of food, travel, outfits for the kids etc too. Wouldn't that be amazing. Big well done on your wins too!

Elysia - I know what you mean about the kindness of people on here, a lovely kind member offered me a leapfrog tag book after I had my order cancelled when there was a Boots glitch last year, think they were £2.00 each and 3 for 2. She didn't want any money for it or for postage either. There are some truly lovely kind souls in the world, things like that really do stick with me, it's not everyday you see such kindness or generosity

Spent most of today ordering cards from funky pigeon, all cards now bought for this year for just over £2.50. Made a gorgeous card for hubby's birthday with a picture of us a few years back in a heart shape mixed in the design, I know he's going to love it. Like gift tags, I am useless with greetings cards. I always end up getting them last minute so a huge relief to be so organised.

So close on 2luner, 6000 points off a redeem, not much happening with the other survey sites at the moment so looks like I am going to crack on with doo-vous. I find I have to be in a really chatty mood to get a good review out though.

Hope everyone has had a good day

Savvy huge thank you for the info on funky pigeon. oing to have dinner and get some cards sorted.

I have just booked in for two of the boys birthday cakes which is september and october, but the woman is high in demand! Plus she's a friend i met on a forum and we had our babies days apart so getting a discount and can pay them off weekly instead of lump sum

Oooh you lucky devil. I miss my dishwasher so much, it didn;t fit in the last house so we gave it away and moved July last year to a bigger house and the kitchen is now big enough for one! sods law. lol

Many thanks to all for kicking me into this.

February challenges are not so good as I am not on doo you and I dont think I will be able to do the reviews for various reasons. Sorry
I will however continue with ebay instead.
Picking up change around here is going to be hard as I very rarely see any (they are all too tight I think) but I will now know any fellow mse ers as they will be the ones with their heads down checking for loose change:rotfl:.
