Twinklekat I hope you got on well at the doctors. If he gave you tablets and they dont seem to help after about three weeks go back as there are lots of types and what suits one person doesnt suit another. I hope you are feeling a lot better soon.0

Hey everyone, how are you all today? xx
Hope your feeling a bit better now Susie hun, Gemini and Kec I'm sorry to hear about your fall and your wrist sounds like you both are in the wars at the moment
I hope you feel better soon twinklekat, sounds like it's best to see a doctor, it may just be stress and other things getting to you and not necessarily depression. Could also be a hormonal imbalance for one reason or another. I hope you feel better soon, I suffered depression (now recovered) many years ago and it's not a good place to be
I decided to get the bedroom sorted today, mainly to get the desk clear and set up ready for my OU course and secondly to get things ready to ebay. Big mistake! Although the Desk is fairly clear and clean now the rest of the bedroom is covered in allsors of things to ebay and presents to be stored. I have filled a cotbed full of items to be sold :eek:
Most of the items are brand new with tags/packaging etc so I'm a little worried about listing on ebay incase they think I'm a business seller, but not keen on doing a carboot, had a bad experience years ago with people stealing from our table :eek: plus with dd it's near enough impossible.
Best get on and list some before I lose interest in doing it :rotfl:

Sorry savvy - what did you decide to get? ( you missed the last bit off your post and i'm intruiged now)
I'm really sorry for going awol - and leaving you all to it all weekend. I've been on here and there for short bursts, but the internet has been down (again Grr) so I only have limited amount of funds on my dongle, and didn't want to use it all up.
So sorry to hear that lots of us are unwell, or sad. I hope everything gets better soon. Twinkle - I feel like that sometimes, I'm glad you're getting it sorted. I send extra big hugs to you. If anyone wants a chat and see's my green light on, just pm me. All of you are my friends and I'm here for you whatever.
Susan - It was Garnier - and nope, no points for me either.
Bunbun - re: the extra payment, don't say anything. I had an overpayment last week or the week before, if they want it they'll have to take it - I'm not telling them
Hello to everyone joining the thread, it's so lovely to see you here.
New challenge coming soon. 
Well I'm rubbish - I've been spending more than earning lately. All MSE though, so not too bad. I've stocked DD2 up with summer clothes - just need to get some for me now,oh and a haircut. I'll be like a new woman then. I'm not very happy though, as all the weight I lost at weight watchers I've put back on, so I need tobuy my original size again - when I was doing well too. Grr I just lost the plot.
I :heartpuls M.S.E.

Hi everyone, sounds like there are a few who could do with a hug so I am sending a dodgy looking group one out to all who need it. :grouphug:
Twinklekat I think you are def doing the right thing going to the doctors. Even having someone to chat with without the risk of anyone getting upset or hurt will help you.
Bunbun I had the extra voucher too and put it in amazon very quickly just incase the asked for it back!! lol
Rubbish ebay for me last night, just one thing sold. I really think I have exhausted my stash of sellable items. Need the children to have a growth spurt!! lol
Take care all

Evening all
Twinkle I hope everything goes well at the docs, sending hugs x
Susie and gemini hope you are feeling better today, I am still all bandaged up, its taking me ages to do anything, its typical that its my right hand as well!
Only 2 of my 6 sold items are paid for so won't be going to po until more have paid.
Have done some sponsored polls on T today but can't manage anymoreAiming to completely pay off the credit card in 2012!0 -
Thank you everyone. It did help writing everything on here and I've written everything down ready for Thursday. I didn't cry once yesterday- came close but no proper tears. I am loving the dodgy hugs though :grouphug:
Must admit my money making has been a little slack this month. Have been plodding along with surveys but have yet to find anything broken. I have been collecting my empty ink cartridges at work so might pop them on ebay today for a 5 day listing - can I class these towards the challenge?
I'm all over the product testing though - eye wipes, fabric softener, veet strips, shower gel, ball of foot pads, cereal, (were the crisps this month?), tea and some dog food coming in the next couple of days. I
product testing.
It's wet and miserable down here this morning, I wish the sunshine was back! Thanks again everyone for your kind words, love you all xDribbling my way to £11k... so far £653.69/£11000

Morning everyone
Another one to add to the sick list lol, my legs have been playing up for quite a while now but since beginning of last week my right leg has been getting worse and worse, feels like I have a nerve pinched or something at the top front, it kills when I try to walk on it. Havent been able to get out on my own. Have rung my doctors this morning to see if I can get appointment for tomorrow when OH is home to come with me but said I have to ring back in the morning for same day appointment. OH said he will take me to walk in Doctors if I cant get seen at my own one (will be more like crawl in than walk in lol)
Havent been able to use my sewing machine due to leg being so bad so getting really bored. Have been keeping up with the money making, claimed another £10.70 from TCB this morning, most of it from Vista orders I did so pleased they are paying off now. Should be getting some reviews done but cant sit and type for too long so think I will give it a miss until I feel a bit better. Have done fabulously this month anyway so really pleased.0 -
