Hi Elmo - you are most welcome to join in. We'd love it if you did.

Have you read through the first few posts? That's the first thing to do. If you need any referalls, could you someone a favour and ask someone to refer you. Congrats on your baby. Is it your first?

Ddraig - haha that's what happens when you go AWOL. LOL. Viva is great - I seem to be getting less NVL but I'm almost at my second redeem, in just over two/three weeks, I think Savvy must be on about five now, in about 4 weeks.

Mum2one - how are you hun? And Miss Hoodie? Glad to see you back safe and sound (I hope). I need to catch up on the other thread. I'll pop over later.

Giggles - I'm not sure I'm brave enough to do the video thingy, but the £25 would come in handy.

Elmo - I meant to say - don't worry about starting late. Every penny you earn from now, is one penny you don't have to find later on. It will be worth it!

Thanks elysia2003- I'll have a good read over them tomorrow and get this show on the road!

I spent so much last year it was just ridiculous and im not prepared to waste that much cash again! Enough is enough!

Yes its my first, its so exciting had real kicks the last two weeks - its totally freaked me out but kind of gave me an incentive to pull my act together so i can enjoy time with bump to baby without worrying about the debts :P

HELP

I been asked to do a church fair on the 15th May. I did know provisionally last week about it and was dithering.

Now they begged and being a softy I said ok.

But horrors, what do you make for a summer fair. My mind has gone completely blank. Any help would be great .....:D

Elysia: Im not brave enough to show my face hahaha Have emailed to ask if its ok if you dont. I actually edit as a hobby so hoping I can do some filming of the product and it in action (like the wii) and then do a voiceover with the review. OH is going to come round on tuesday after we have taken the cat back to the vets so we can do my 5 and his 5, so fingers crossed it all goes ok. I have emailed Stuart to check its ok to not show your face. I dont think there will be many responses, it says a max of 100 responses but I cant see it getting to that many as a video review is much harder than just a written one, especially as most people wont want to be seen or heard!

Think slowly getting the sleep pattern back to normal, it hit home this time, whether its becoz Miss Hoodie, she onl managed an hrs sleep on the way back.
we had literally an out of the world, once lifetime trip, got to massive thank u for the challenges as they certainly helped towards the trip fund.

We did
2 x dolphin encounters
1 x royal dolphin swim
2 x sealion encounters
1 x shark encounter
Las vegas style night out
local doninican ngt
day out on speedboat and massively posh yatch

thou wouldn't be a holiday if everything went ok, the ngt we go all dressed up, (las vegas show ngt), got off the coach at hotel, when some bright spark trod on the back of my dress and next thing I fell face flat onto the marble step - one broken tooth....... (really just wantd to show suntan off!)
and got infction big toe, burst a blister, so on antibiotics, if everything right, wouldn't be my holiday.

Got to say Miss Hoodie loved it, when she did her dolphin swim, I'd got tears, I have never seen her so amazed and so happy, she grabbd every opportunity to smile, she was so relaxed. Only wants to go nxt yr!! (now where did I put that money tree) - but be a long wait! It was amazing.

xx

Ps - i even got chatted up and more than once, to which Miss hoodie thought was so funny, she decided to text everyone in one phone to tell them. Got chatted up 4 times, - and a marriage proposal, that was after 5 mins....... but it must be hitting 40, I just couldn't remember my proper name or my email!! xx

Glad you had a good time Mum2one. We havent had a family holday since my daughter was about 8 and we went to Blackpool for a week with eldest Grandson. She is 16 this year! She still gets away as she goes camping with her youth group every year for a week.

I did all the surveys this mornig, wasnt many to do. Checked my opinion I did on T and only got 4 replies and one of them was me lol. I have done a few opinions on others pages this morning so hopefully they will visit my page. If anyone on here has done any lately let me know and I will have a look, havent really been keeping up with the public profile pages for a few weeks.

The last items on my Son's ebay account go tomorrow so then its up to me to take over. He needs to send me the photos that he already uses so I can use them. I have added a message to his listings to say that I have taken over selling from him as dont want anyone to accuse me of pinching his listing, especially as it was both of us who made it up to start with.

I am thinking about making some cushions up like I did for my Brother with a poem or saying on one side, may be just Home Sweet Home, and a picture of a house on the other and see if I can sell them. Dont know what to charge though as would be a lot of work going into them.
