Mum2One : That link to the pictures doesnt seem to be working for me? Is it for everyone else? I really want to see the pictures! The trip sounds AMAZING!

I have had a response from Stuart about the video reviews...
Thanks would be terrific if you have a go at the video review. I am not being too strict about their length but generally if you run around 2 mins that should be good but longer is goos too. I think as long as you have a plan of basically what you are going to say that's much more important than how much you personally are in the picture too.

So looks like its ok not to be in the review yourself . Hopefully will be having a go at them tomorrow!

Rufus, was it last yr you made the bags from recycled magazines etc, thinking of you in Dom Rep, in the hotel shop they had handbags made from crisp packets, and were chaging £16 each for them. x

Yes was me. My eldest daugther is still using the one I gave her for her birthday everyday as her normal handbag, it was a bigger version than the clutch bags and I made a handle for it. They took so long to make though but didnt cost anything except a few rolls of wide sticky tape to make xx

Viva is found here - http://www.vivatic.com/

It's a survey site that some people are having a lot of success with. I think Savvy has redeemed 6 times in the last few weeks, redeem is at £10. It doesn't seem to like me and usually tells me there aren't any surveys for me, but it's definitely worth a try as you might fit their target group.

I hope everyone is having a nice Bank holiday.

I have a bit of news ........ (drumroll) .............


I'm pregnant!!!


We only found out today so it's still very early days. I can't help but tell people though, we did the same when I was pregnant with my son

I've checked an online due date calculator and I'm due on the 27th December :eek: So all the money making and organising I've been doing will be even more useful now. I'm going to step it up a gear with the money making, I'm aiming for Christmas to be as money neutral as possible!

Right, off to find me some surveys :rotfl:

Oh Nicky - very many congrats hun. I'm absolutely thrilled for you. Oh, I'm so excited for you all. Woohoo. Well done hunny bun.

Elmo well done to you too. I hope you're having a good afternoon signing up to the sites. Remember to keep your profile up to date - I tend to double check mine every three months - even if nothings changed, it doesn't do any harm, and they are more likely to pick you. There are only so many on the first list - I have more sites to recommend if you need them.

Nothing exciting happening here - I went to a carboot today, for a mooch. I've done them several times, but I haven't been to one as a buyer for well over ten years. We got there about 11.30 and people were packing up to go home. What I did see was all a load of tat. I'll have to be earlier next time. I had to wait for my Dad to come and try and mend my computer first, that was why we were late. Touch wood, it's working now - but for how long we shall see.

Thanks for the reply about shopping . com giggles. I may try it tomorrow (if I'm brave enough). LOL

Nicky - Have you been following the Tesco DTD thread? Johnsons baby products are working out at free at the moment - I also just saw this post and thought of you. At that price it's worth stocking up already.

ETA :I know it's a bit too soon, I also saw these - who knows when the promotion will run until, it may all end tomorrow . You've got to go for it while you can.
