:j Welcome to the thread. :j

Take your time and read through the first few posts, sign up to a few of the survey sites if you haven't already (if you could ask someone for a referal that would be great, and finally - join in often. We love having you here.

Skiergirl - I'm sorry I forgot to mention your knee. How is it now? Not too painful I hope.

Kec - did you ever get your meal cooked for you. OH is as hopeless as me - if it doesn't go in the microwave, he can't cook it. I can cook, to be fair (I haven't poisoned anyone yet), It's just that it's nothing spectacular. I'll never win masterchef that's for sure.

I'm off now. Goodnight everyone. xxx

Elysia no I didn't get my dinner, he got home so late, had a bad day car broken again so didn't feel like cooking neither did I so I got take away, bad I know, not very thrifty feel a bit guilty but think we deserve it once!

Just done a survey and it just keeps looping back to the beginning and not submitting, I have been back to the start 3 times so I am giving up now :mad:

Its quiet on here tonight so hoping you are all off having fun

Thanks everyone for your replies from Saturday night. My user name on Toluna is EstherH1. Not had time to look at any more opinions on there or write anything yet and just came on to check if anyone had answered me. You all seem to be so dedicated though and I just have time to do a little here and there. But I have learnt and picked up some good tips from you all, so thanks for that.

Another question, if that's ok? I registered for the eye shadow trial, how do I know if I've been chosen? Do they email me, just send me a sample through the post if I'm successful or what? Not had time to read all the posts from yesterday and today yet.

Skiergirl - hope you feel better soon.

Esmer when I was cleaning I thought of you and how embarrassed I'd be if you ever had to [STRIKE]risk[/STRIKE] have any of my baking! I did almost message you to ask how I could rescue my baking disaster but was too far gone by then! God may love a trier, but I think he has told me to give up baking after this one.

This made me laugh he he he, I have had disasters too. I learned to put a cake tin on a baking tray incase of leakages I had a cake leak as well................ disaster!

esmer I wish my cakes looked like yours, they are fantastic. what size cases do you use for your cupcakes. I will have a go at using your recipes. I do like to try:rotfl:

Cases that I like to use for general use is the Asda Muffin cases. I buy other ones from online if doing parties. But normally the brown cases for chocolate and the white ones for vanilla suffice.

Hope you are all well. I have one NON PAYER on ebay!!! Why do they do this??? 4 days now since they bid on it.

Anyways paypal account is nearly at 100.00 I will transfer it and put it into my savings account.

Off to get DD to nursery and me on the train to work. Beds are all made, house all tidy and dishwasher on. I just have a pile of ironing todo, and my aunt is going to do it for a small fee :j

Added you on Loonie xx

Just been on Doou, my last review still only has three ratings lol, bit disappointed as I rated loads of people yesterday (not you lot from here, I mean other people on the site) and none of them have returned the ratings. I usually get about 35 to 45 per review and this is level 1 rating soI thought it would push my points up a bit.

Still never mind, I did another Vista order today so hoping that will track via tcb. No surveys or anything on Loonie this morning, will have another look later and go through all my followers.

Hope everyone had a nice day yesterday

Had a bad night last night my 3 year old wet the bed. He has just turned 3 but he has been dry through the night for 3 months now and this was his first accident. He was really upset bless him.

Esther i have added you on loonie. Spent this morning trying to do everyones polls and opinions. If I have missed you sorry just send me a message. It will mean your not on my list.

Rufusdog just on dooyoo returning rates I will go to yours in a min.

Skiergirl

Thank you for the get well wishes, i am in pain but dosed up on painkillers the hospital gave me. The only problem is they make me sleepy so I keep having to nap

No reply from T so no idea what to do.

Hope everyone had a good night last night, I was asleep by 9.30 :eek:

Morning everyone, hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday and that all poorlies are feeling a bit better.

Had my vistaprint order arrive this morning. Very mixed feelings to be honest. The banner I ordered for dd's birthday is brilliant, I love it, great quality and much bigger than expected, she's going to think it's brilliant. The notebook was pretty good, a bit flimsy but nether-the-less still good. The pen was awful quality, but the picture was small enough for it not to look to bad, wouldn't personally order one again. But the worst was the canvas bag, the quality of the printing is AWFUL!, the picture was the same I had used for the other items without problems but the picture was dark a dark orange brown and purple/pink, very unhappy with the canvas bag but I guess I should have figured for £3.17 I was going to be unhappy with something.

Loony still haven't added my points but I had enough to redeem thankfully so I'm going to give them a break until they sort themselves out.

Been looking through all your blogs, you talented lot you are
