    Right think I will start by saying what is this T price checker thing all about?! I don't have time to read that whole thread but what I have done is used the link and put in my receipt details and they said they would email me the results, hope I have done it right! I usually use sainsburys but decided to go Tesco this week and took OH with me so it was an expensive shop so any money I can save would be great!

    OH is back home and we are trying to work things out, its all a bit happier now there is some money back in the pot for the time being, its still not over but at least we have enough to keep afloat for now.

    I have not been around all week as I am having a terrible time with work, I can't go into any details but it is serious, someone is telling lies and trying to cause trouble. My head has been all over the place and I have spent many days crying this week so haven't done any surveys or money making at all.

    I made some new cakes last Sunday which went down really well

    I made some more of the same and some mini cakes to sell for red nose day on Friday

    AS its free ebay weekend I am going to try to at least relist some items this evening and add some others if I can.

    Just wanted to say esmer I hope you manage to get the house you want :D

    Hugs for everyone that needs them and well done to those who are managing to keep on track (unlike me!) x

    Did a car boot sale this am. Took a real mixture of stuff and it went much better than I expected. Shattered now but the great thing is I actually came back with more than I went with as someone offered me two boxes of dog toys, poo bags etc for a fiver so couldnt resist but only having a two seater car I had great fun coming home with stuff almost on my lap. Not only that but I gained two collapsible boxes which are always handy and worth the fiver on their own.

    Glad things are showing an improvement with your OH kec. I hope the thing at work sorts itself out quickly for you. If you have done nothing wrong then don't get upset, the lies will be found.

    I did my car boot this morning. Was a killer getting up at 4am and being there for 5.30am! Have not done this one before, it's an indoor one so was twice what I usually pay for stall fee. But after fee I made £100.91! Altho I spent £1 so £99.91! My target was £100 so very happy with this :) going to put it in my longleat spends collection.

    Well done everyone - I have been here but that darned Tesco thread is sooo addictive. ;) I had to turn the comp off though in the end, it was getting me so mad. I admit, I took advantage, but just swapped for better brands. I'm nowhere near the £100 limit, and yet one person has got a £300 voucher one shop. :eek::eek::eek: That's just greed and will spoil it for everyone. Sorry everyone - Rant over!!!

    I've not had many surveys lately and the ones I have got, I've been screened out of. I think I need a final push otherwise March totals are going to be rubbish. :(

    Well done on carboots and ebay - I didn't get around to it, I've been gardening most of the day, and then I got collared into cooking a roast, when we were only having sandwiches, and having the roast tomorrow. Kids! lol

    I hope everyones OK. I can't remember who had the bad back now, sorry. I hope it gets better for you soon.

    Kec fab cakes. The icing is getting better. :) and they look good enough to eat. :D.
