Morning everyone :wave:

Managed to get a bit done this morning. Done another review for top points thanks to elysia's tip yesterday. Done all polls on T and done somemore peoples opinions too.

Yesterday I broke my laptop and it needs fixing so I agreed to help my dad put some of his betterware books out for some money in return as he is really busy at work this week. Now I wish I hadn't I can't be bothered. The thought of taking the double pushchair out and pushing it up the big hill and having my three year wanting to walk and slow me down seems like a bad idea. But I did promise and dont want to go back on it. Ahhhhhh why do I agree to things too quickly!

Hello ladies, having a really carpy couple of days where I just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Not moving to Pompy anymore as OH is going on Tour Oct/Nov and heartbroken doesn't even being to describe how I'm feeling. Always knew this would come but I suppose I just never wanted it to. So from July I will be a weekend gf again, then come the end of the year will be a state. Staying here in Devon because I at least know people here and although my contract is up in November, I've got a couple of friends here. OH also sprung on me this morning that he thinks we should get rid of one of the dogs as I won't be able to cope on my own. It's all really shizer, we haven't got enough money to get married this year either so that has put a super downer on my week.

Sorry to be so negative but don't really know who else to vent to at the moment...

Oh twink thats awful, such a nightmare week for you so far I do hope it gets better for you, fingers crossed for a change in luck for you xx

Twinkle - what on earth? Have a talk - it seems to me to be everything that OH happens - has he considered your feelings? I hope you can sort it out soon, and vent away all you like.

I received £10 capital today off Mysurveyy so my stash is mounting up nicely. I also received a paypal payment that's been made in error - so I'm not touching it incase they want it back. (It's off a survey site)

I know you had trouble Savvy with Disney - but I got my refund quite quickly after I complained, so I ordered a couple of things off the grabbit.

Well done on doing some Dy reviews - I have three product suggestions to write up and then the ones where the levels have changed - I have Avon deliveries to make tonight so I think it will be tomorrow now.

ETA: Jasper I hope DD gets better soon.

Susie - you can help me post some of these Avon Catalogues too as you like it so much. I don't mind it in the summer - but winter and the cold, dark and rain it's awful.

Everyone check T - I just jumped up 40,000 points - and where I had 32 open I now only have 16. Still not got enough for another redeem, but not far off.

Thanks - I checked and had enough for my first redeem :j
{{Hugs}} to anyone who needs one especially twinkle and those with poorly little littllies.

I am reading and keeping up but not posting much because as well as my poorly knee, i've now got a chest infection and just want to sleep plus it's cheltenham week so I'm a bit busy ;)

sorry I have been AWOL again time just seems to be flying by - I promised myself I would post regularly too - and now I can't remember what I have read:(

elysia thanks for the tip about looney this morning - my points had gone up and I had enough to redeem:j

twinkle so sorry to hear you have had a bad few days. hope things get better soon

legend hope your OH is on the mend. when do you get your washing machine?

skiergirl sorry to hear you now have a chest infection as well as a bad knee

ds has to go back to the hospital in a couple of weeks. we had the consultant's letter this morning which says how complicated it all is so ask lots of questions as am a bit in the dark at the moment as to how it will affect his life. I am also at the what if stage - what if I hadn't taken him to the gp, what if he hadn't started treatment - which is daft cos there is no point dwelling on the maybe

hope everyone is OK and hugs to anyone who needs them
