jasperconran

elysia2003 - thanks for the tip on the laptop. Think I may just remove the hard drive and sell the rest for spares/repairs.

Getting back on track slowly with the surveys, ebay night will be Thursday, need to make sure I dont forget!

I have decided to go back to doing mystery shopping as well. I havent done any for ages and have just realised that I have missed out on the chance to earn about £91 this month:eek:

So, I rang the company in question and I start my first one tommorow:j, so wish me luck! lol.

Just want to add, loving the homepages, im going to try some of the recipes and also, I think all of the craft things are great too! wish I was like that, but I think I may just give a go so that birthdays/xmas isnt so expensive this year! After all, its the thought that counts, right??

Hope everyone is well.:)

Well done Jasper - Keep it up, you can do it.

Nicola - well done on VO. It's really great that you can see all your rewards coming in.

Susie - Amazon vouchers with T come to your account - sometimes you get an email to say it's there, and sometimes you don't. Check the 'Your vouchers' section on your page. I hope the little one is OK and just tired.

Clairey - Ahh bless. I hope your boys get better soon. Dy has been off and on for weeks now, and I know what you mean about the broadband, mine is off today (virginmedia though) I'm currently using my dongle - it's work every penny, everyone should have one. I bought it two years ago, I use it regularly, on holidays, out and about, and when we have trouble with broadband and/or electric, and I've only used £7. Fantastic!!!

Mum2one - when do you go on hols? It can't be far away now. Have you heard from Susan42, is she any better?

Rufus - come on get writing - you've got another dy cheque to work towards.

Esmer - I though things were sorted with ex - why's he being funny now?

Legend and everyone I missed, I hope you are all ok, and doing well.

Legendmum

Clairelulu - hope the boys get well soon!
Susie - I have done you thingy too!
Esmer - Thank goodness your organised! I am terrible as I have a clearout of my paperwork every so many months and chuck the old stuff!

Good to see everyone redeeming and getting on! I am on a go slow at them moment as OH is making a terrible patient and is up in the nights with the pain so I am quite tired at the mo! Nothing else to report really! Bit boring at the mo! Mind you I shouldnt complain as I have had enough of it being all go!!!

Oh yeah washing machine to be delivered Thursday! THANK THE LORD!

Afternoon ladies, thank you so much I have reached my target, Nicola I think its an annual thing so maybe worth mentioning to nursery Could not have done it without you guys, bit miffed when you think about it as I have 200+ so called friends on Facebook and I think only 4 done it and these are only people I know from school yard, best not to dwell I suppose

thank Elysia I will keep a look out, asked for love to shop last time but seen as my amazon is mounting up nicely thought I would just get them

Got 4 asleep at the moment but going to have to wake them soon as school run needs done, and its totally wet and miserable!!

Done a dooy this afternoon, going to try and get more used to it, also sorted my broken item/missing item for ebay, scrabble with no letters (i have used them for jewellery, but the board, original points pad, letter bag and letter stands are still there

elysia2003

That's it Susie - someone might need just the board - you know they are only cardboard, and I've had more than one fall to bits. It'll be fun to see how much it goes for - if at all. List it at 99p and you won't lose out.

All DYoo-ers. They've just changed to levels around. Here is a quick list of what's in Level 1 (600 dy miles per review) for the next month.

Quote: So, going up a level this week is Clarins in the Cosmetics category, as well as Medicine and Pet Food. We're looking to help out the parents out there for the upcoming school holidays at Easter by putting up both Outdoor Toys (into Level 1) and Theme Park / Zoo National (into Level 2) this week - so now's a great time to share your tips for keeping the kids entertained this Spring!

So clear out the medicine cupboards, dust off the scooters, swings, sandpits, dig out the daytrip photos and get reviewing.

He will ALWAYS be this way. He sees what he has lost, never get it back. He will do it in a backstabbing way in secret to try and hurt me, I just laugh it off now.

I dont have many letters these days, so not a lot to file, but I do keep stuff like that "Just in case"

good news on washing machine. Im waiting on mattress today....... still no sign.

elysia2003

Good for you hun. Well done. I hope mattress turns up soon - I have absolutely no patience, and hate waiting in for people. :mad:

Legend - Washing machine - Yayyyy!

Hi everyone, sounds like we have had busy money making days, well done all.

More money saving than making for me, had a powercut earlier so had no internet, need to catch up on some surveys and polls etc in a mo.

Just wanted to share a few deals with you all to help with the thrifty gifty side of things.

Firstly you can get either a canvas print/acrylic block/XL poster/foil print worth £49.99 for free (first 10,000 people) just need to pay £2 postage, from what I gather the picture is supposed to be of people wearing clothes posing but I ordered a canvas print (16" x 24") of dd which has gone through. Comes with fixtures and fittings. This thread explains it and has the link -

Also those free £3 credit for funky pigeon when you add 6 reminders in your account, takes a less than a minute. Combine with current 50% off code and you can buy two really nice cards for free -

Off to peruse vistapint for the collage mugs and going to make a messy mat for dd from with the banner

Thanks for the lovely comments on my blog, you are all so kind, I was worried that no one would like it. I love reading through all your blogs you are all so talented, I have been dabbling with digital scrapbooking to see how I get on before going the whole hog with cardmaking, it's quite addictive isn't it!?
