    Savvybunny - good luck with the OU course

    gigglesfiary - fab news on the job interview.

    Good news here, - we managed a night at the theatre without any broken teeth!! thou it was an emergency dash to the loo, from laughing so much. Took dad to see the comedians (from the 80s), Ian sludge lees, Duncan Norveille and Frank Carson. My dad eneded up on stage with 2 other blokes during Duncan norveilles bit, he ended up sitting on his lap for q+a session, when duncan asked has he any children dad bless him said I did have 2 but we lost my 1st daughter, but my granddaughter is named after her, without sounding daft felt so pround of him. Then them madde them do old mcdonald song - he decided dad looked like Norman Wisdom, It was a brilliant evening, - personally think Frank Carson should be out to pasture, but then never liked him.

    Had the dentist 2day - bout tooth broke on hol, gd news to that, theres enough of a chunk of the tooth so he's put a temporary crown on it, he so funny checking the rest of my teeth, that the temp crown he'd put in start of april was holding up, as they usually sa 2 weeks stop-gap, Go again May and june, to get the proper crowns done. I have a brilliant dentist.

    Got £15 toluna vouchers, so thats gone into wardrobe fund, - just waiting for next car boot as stuff to go - got the remainder of prague to pay by mid june, want it to be money neutral!.

    Good luck Giggles and Savvy xx

    Mum2one love the photos, that one with the sealion is gorgeous xx

    Elysia I have three Amazon vouchers processing, the earliest is Feb, then one in March and one in April. Still not on there today. Last time I had three come together. I am back up to 56000 on there so not far to go. Thought I had a YG survey this morning as email from them but it was just an oracle one lol. Got a bit excited as well. Managed to do 3 from SN this morning which was good.

    Had my payment from SN and from TCB and put most of it in my savings for now so looking a bit healthier at the moment. Still need to get daughter a pair of shoes for her prom but have a few £2 coins saved up plus I have £3 on my New Look voucer left from my birthday.

    Dont know what we are doing today, its freezing cold this morning. OH's Mum is here so might go out.

    wow mum2one those photos are great and miss hoodies smile is soooo big.

    Good luck for Tuesday giggles I'm sure you'll wow them.

    After saying I get nothing off viva I did manage to do an 85p survey yesterday!! Maybe they are lurking..... I'd love to qualify for a £5 survey everyday!! ;)

    Starting my child minding course this evening and I am really looking forward to it. Even bought myself new pens and school notebooks!!

    Off now to see what email surveys have come through.

    Take care all

    I am so sorry to come on here and moan but...
    OH has just told me that he is not going on the school trip in May after recent events. he only renewed his passport for this trip so that is money we have spent for nothing. I know it can't be helped but I am finding it really hard to understand

    Has he explained why, can understand its frustrating, but maybe the passport will come in use for the future xx

    Giggles sending extra lots of luck for your interview. Be confident - you CAN do it. xxx

    Thanks for the photos Mum2one - Miss Hoodie is beautiful, no wonder you are proud, you have every right to be :D. My favourite photo is the sealion kiss too. What an amazing photo - one to treasure.

    Bunbun - sorry to hear about the wasted money for the passport - maybe it won't be totally wasted, and he'll be able to use it at a later date - all is not lost. :) I'm pleased Ds is coping well with the meds. I hope the tests go well - at least you will know the reason, but whatever the outcome, it is NOT your fault. DS will be fine, I'm sure of it. D

    Rufus - woohoo. Nice amount coming in there mrs!!! I received my Viva redeem in the last 10 mins, so although my monthly results are rubbish, hopefully next months will be better. :)

    Stepmum - Good luck with your course too hun. Are you excited? I would be - it's a new chapter.

    Thanks for all your good vibes ladies.... It must have worked as... I now have ANOTHER interview on Saturday morning for a different job! So now I need to scurry off to Matalan tomorrow and try and find somethign suitable to wear haha Also spoke to the recruitment agency that sent my cv to the first job that called me for an interview and she that the woman was hugely impressed and basically said they want me for the position but have to go through the formalities of an interview and an online test. She also said its a hugely successful company thats great to work for and whom love ambitious people!

    So its going to be a busy BH weekend for me :D.

    And to make me smile even more I just managed to put in my first redeem from Viva too :D
