Morning all

arrggh looney is really bugging me, i have been on 77, 000 since last week and now have 7 open, one being 8,000!!! i.p.so.s has screened me out the last 3 which would have had me at redeem i am at 1160 with them!!

I did get my £10 yesterday from the face cream test so that was very quick postage

Going to do a bit today but need to try and sort this house out lol, I also need to think of a name for my jewellery shop, I have so much stuff I need to be selling it and hubby has free websites with his fly tying site but cant think of a name that has not been used before!!

Hope you are all feeling better and enjoy whats left of the weekend

Hi everybody, I hope everyones weekends have ended on a more positive note, big hugs for everyone who needs them xxx

Esmer - I love your blog, please do macaroons after lent, would love to see how you do them hun. I was watching your icing tutorial again today and gave it another go with my cheesecake frosting, getting better

Bunbun - It is better to know as then you know a clear way forward, hope things look a bit brighter soon x

Legendmum - I hope Jack is ok hun, you and your family have really been through it recently haven't you

Well done Esther and NickyBo for keeping up the money making, every little certainly does help. Did you manage to do some baking today Nicky hun?

Susie - I was the same with Loony a few weeks back it took me ages to get the 3000 points I needed but keep at it, you are so close! Same with IPS too actually, was stuck at 5 points off a redeem, finally had a survey and thought well if I dont qualify thats 5 points, the reward was a blinkin prize draw entry lol. Managed in the end though. Have you tried a random business name generator, good for a giggle if nothing else

Well today I have spent the morning icing the black bottom cupcakes I made and this afternoon finished sorting my blog, have linked in my homepage if anyone fancies a nosey? Have put my baking on there with the recipe for the hummingbird bakery vanilla cupcakes which were fabulous. Need to update with the millies cookies I made and the black bottom cupcakes too.

Might do some ebaying, but I need to catch up on everyones loony whilst I have a chance. Will pop back on a little later x

Well done savvy your blog looks great, I too am following, not baked cakes for us in ages, I make them with the minded children all the time but once you have seen a few fingers in mouths and other places it tends to put you off ha ha I did buy that baking mag yesterday as it had 6 silicon cake wraps on and thoughts for 99p it was worth a look!

Did you read my mind

I have been look at making them, decided as I LOVE them, I will make them when LENT is over. They look so delish. Cake journal has them as well. Site is very good.

Jasper - so sorry to hear your news. I hope things are getting a little easier now. Take it one step at a time - don't bother with surveys over five days old, probably even three or four, and just work on the latest ones. Start afresh from now. I look forward to seeing how well you do with you ebaying - did you notice there's a new challenge? I think it's on post two, could be number three though. We are ebaying something broken, that we would normally throw away, and see how much we raise. There's also another couple of companies to sign up to (if you want to) for product testing - I haven't had anything yet, but it's worth a go - you've got to be in it to win it, as they say.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I would be interested in product testing, I used to be a member of tesco panels but havent heard anything from them in about a year:(. starting to play catch up with surveys, been lucky with some of them today. Hmmm ebaying something broken, thats an idea. Ive got my DD's old goodman stereo upstairs, dont think its broken as such, I think it even still works! might be worth a try. Ive got a laptop too, basically I spilt a hot drink over it (accident!) about 2 years ago and it stopped working straight away:eek: I have thought about trying to flog it, but I worry about any of my personal data being on there. what do you think? its an HP one, cost me quite a bit of money at the time, OH was not pleased!!!

Will keep updating with regards to ebay n stuff. would love to hear your thoughts thanks

Good to see Jack's back home now Legend.

Savvy - the blog looks brill. I haven't been on mine for ages and had a quick look and all my backgrounds had gone. I've just been and fixed it, and now I'm inspired to keep it going. Might do some cards tomorrow So thank you hun.

Esmer - savvy wasn't reading your mind lol. You posted yesterday that you wanted to make some after Lent. I can't wait either, I'd love to see how they come out.

Does anyone have the recipe for Millie's style cookies please? I've bought choc chips already.

Not done any surveys etc today - I've not been on the comp very long at all, been doing housework etc, OH thinks I've had some kind of brain transplant. :rotfl:

Hi Jasper - you could either sell the computer as spares and repairs (take the hardrive out) or just sell the battery and power leads - you'd get no money for it if you threw it away - so anything you do get is a bonus.

That would be great if you posted how you are doing - you can inspire us to keep going, and hopefully we can inspire you too.
