    I have done no oney making tonight:eek:
    I have been making cup cakes for bun day at dd's school tomorrow.
    I have made plain ones then decorated and then dd came down and asked for choclate ones.
    I have no recipe an decided to experiment and do chocolate orange ones and just guess.
    So proud as they are sooooo yummy :T
    I checked toluna though and have got my extra points.
    I wish I had the cream product test, gutted.
    I need to get motivated agian , i find it hard after a knock back. i had got into a routine with bp and now that has upset things.
    What can I replace it with?
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:
  • Helllloooooo All, not been on here since 1st feb soooorryyyy
    I have been chasing my tail since christmas and finally something has snapped,,of course its my health, again another sinus infection and nice trachea infection,,,was coping with work and antibs (apart from one dizzy episode and fall on stairs lol ) until the weekend, it was my bday, my bro and family came to stay,,i felt awful, managed to go to pub with friends and family and had to stick to lemonade,,came home got thru making sunday dinner then had chest pain. Saw gp mon after a bit of a night,,he sent me for chest xray and gave stronger antibs for my terrible sinus infctn,,i reacted badly after taking just one, collapsed fainting and then threw up all last nite,,,nice!
    So called gp he has given different antibs had one and ok so far!! Hubby took today off to take me for xray and sort kids school run etc,thankgoodness

    I did manage one survey yesterday !! Have a pile of ebay stuff to go on and some to post! Am gutted I missed all the bp fun! I must admit they got my back up the minute I joined so i wasnt on much.
    I am a little anxious about work,,I think it was Esmer who asked me last time i posted about my little business, I do domestic cleans set up my own business 3 yrs ago,,it took a year to establish, i have work for me for 5 days and gave work to a friend for 4 days a week,,,now I am full cant physically do anymore cleans,,2 of my children are still at primary school so i always said i would only work inbetween those hours. I LOVE it love it love it, its really tiring by friday though! Lately i have also fitted in some boat cleans as well as house and a few student house cleans (these were particularly gross but pay well) I have been offered more work, I also have a waiting list of cleans, they already have cleaners but are not happy and thru word of mouth want me,,very nice, lovely compliment but i cant do it all.
    I have cancelled all cleans for rest of this week to get over this infection,,so may be able to get surveys & fleabay done whilst resting ;-)
    Hope everyone is happy and well I really really want to find more time to catch up and join in more!

    ^ Wow! Pretty!

    Does anyone have a good suggestion as to what to do for birthday cards? I have a lot of birthday cards to buy for the year and I'm thinking that at an average of £1 a card it's going to become very expensive. What can I do instead of cards (for the people I'm getting presents for?) Anyone have any handy hints?
