    Congratulations Restricted xx

    Has anyone else found a lot of sites are not opening this morning or is it just my internet? I didnt come online yesterday afternoon so had a load of emails this morning but cant seem to get on to do any of them. So far I have had trouble on Ebay (some pages and most of pics not working), Loonie, My Surv@ys, VO, havent tried doou yet but that wasnt working yesterday morning still. Managed to get on Yahoo email ok and on here but cant seem to click out on any links in the survey emails, and Ebay was straight from the address bar, managed to get on but took ages for the sign in to come up then when it did no pics in any of the listings I wanted to go on.

    Aww congratulations Restricted xxx Hope Mum and baby are doing well today. And I agree, there is nothing like the smell of babies to make you feel broody.

    With Clix make sure that you are fully profiled, they keep adding new bits to the questionnaires.

    Hope the jabs go ok today with your little one Twinkle x

    PS love you too Elysia lol

    Congratulations hun :j:j

    Not done much yet, keep gettting screened out of surveys!!

    I have been on a rant this week, we found out we will be loosing the direct gov website facility that holds the details for parents on childcare in their area, dont get me wrong it was useless most of the time but it was still a good way for parents to find out about us childminders, so I have set up a blog to begin with and I am in the process of making a website for parents to search their local childminders :)

    Going to do some surveys now and see if i get any finished :)

    Rufus - T have technical problems I think, at least that's what got posted just as I was about to press submit on a survey. GRRR

    Susie - sorry to hear things are getting a bit difficult - well done on setting up the website. It will be a great thing for people who need to know that their kids will be cared for properly.

    Not done any housework yet - I keep being distracted. LOL. Anyway on Magic Freebies there's a link to do Radox product tests here. I looks like that selfish book thingy that Savvy so kindly posts - but I didn't notice it before.

    No you are not the only one that reacts to E45! I thought it was just me!! I had the worst reaction to that than anything else I have ever tried!!

    Just had my first redeem on cokezone, got a £5 HMV voucher :j

    I'm so glad it's not just me
    I don't use E45 either, I don't rate it at all as a moisturiser and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I have a prescribed one called Doublebase and it's fab :)

    I will have to try that - thank you

    Congratulations restricted :D

    Hi everyone, just quickly popping in to see how you all are, busy day ahead :)

    Glad to hear about the cheque kec, must be such a relief. Congrats restricted! Was it her first?

    Thanks for the radox link hun, will sign up when I have time to write an award winning speech lol. Had an email to say Radox need proof of who I am before I can claim my book for the month, a little weird I must say!

    Popping over to see my sister for her Birthday, quick mystery shop and to have a good ole look in lloyds pharmacy for the miracle shampoo which has done wonders for my hair :)

    RE - Looney - I am 700 points off a redeem, it's painfully slow to that redeem now... especially as I have almost 30 surveys still open! I must have enough for another redeem waiting to go on grrrr

    Have a good one all, I shall catch up with you later

    Isnt it weird that we all reacted badly to E45 yet its marketed as the go to over the counter cream for skin problems?

    Claireylulu: Im glad my christmas countdown made you smile :D

    VO is working fine for me today. I have just finished a survey. Really pleased as I have managed to do 1 every other day these past days so am up to 6.25 once they clear, so not too far for payout! I dont get emails with the surveys anymore from them (dont know why?) so have now managed to get in to the habit of checking the website daily.

    TL was playing up for me for a couple of days and wouldnt let me check my points balance, but I managed to yeterday eve. Got a survey invite so going to go and try to not been screened out hehe

    Right I (So far) have got sunday free this weekend so planning on doing lots of ebaying (HUGE pile ready to go). Going to photo copy and get the descriptions ready in the morn/afternoon then list from about 6pm whilst watching dancing on ice! Also hoping to fit in some cookie making :D. Picked up some easter bunny cookie cutters so think I may do these instead of easter eggs but need a trial run!

    Giggles Easter biscuits sound so much nicer than a shop bought egg (and cheaper) :D. I've my Easter gifts all ready. I bought breakfast sets just after easter last year so they were dirt cheap, bowl, mug and egg cup for two neices. I bought a candy grabber from IWOOT off the grabbit board for DD2 Christmas/Birthday but when I wrapped her stuff up there was so much there, I held the caddy grabber back, just need some sweeties for it. :) DD1 has half a dozen cadburys cream eggs, and she can have a fiver for her car fund. Just need something for nephew and that's it.

    EDited to add - that reminds me of Bunbun, has she posted lately? I hope she's OK.

    Savvy - I hope you are having a nice day. What's this miracle shampoo then? I need a miracle with my hair lately - it's so lank and lifeless :(

    Giggles - I've had nothing for a month of VO and had three in the last couple of days so cashout for me too soon. I hope you get some more really quickly. It's great when you've redeemed isn't it? - You feel like you've acheived something. :)


    Kec - that's what I meant to post, but I forgot sorry. Well done to OH on getting a payout. It much be such a releif, if only for the short term. I hope things start looking up now for you both, and that you can see light at the end of the tunnel.

    Postie made me a happy girly today: £10 Tesco from VO, £5 cheque from synov8 and a DVD to watch from iap. Also missed a parcel (haven't got a clue what it might be which is always quite exciting) and credit card bill (not so exciting!!).

    We don't really do anything for Easter here, one less expense!
