Glad your car passed Chel xx

I had good intentions this morning to get on with some sewing but after going up the town then coming home and cooking dinner for this evening and sorting out freezers and making a list for our monthly shop tomorrow I was knackered lol. Have had my lunch and might go and do a bit in a little while. Did have two £2 coins in my purse when I came home so they have gone in my tin. Think there is enough in there to cover daughter's shoes for her prom so mustnt dip in before July.

Goodness me - I am sooo bored today. Hardly any surveys and I didn't even qualify for the ones I got. I've transferred a few reviews to Ciao though - balance is now £1.82 woowee.

I just checked to see if there are any mystery shops I can do, and got offered one for the sofa store DFS. I had to laugh, at the bottom it says, It is not a requirement to buy a sofa but you may do so if you wish. Thank god for that - I only get paid £7 :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I can't face T at the moment - I've even been doing dooyoo to put it off. Can someone give me a kick up the derrier please? I'm losing motivation :eek:

Lots of 50p surveys (8! Did one just took me 4 mins) on YourSay, this is the msot I have seen in the time I have been doing it! Going to have a good go now see if I can pump my balance up!

Giggles_Fairy

woohoo just managed to complete all 8 surveys on YourSay, so £4 in total, and I am finally over half way to redeem on there now haha If only they had that many surveys which are that quick to complete each month!

Will catch up properly later, but have some good news, Miss Hoodie had her interview today with the court officer, we've been on tenderhooks literally expecting a telephone call from the school sayings she upset come and collect her, but completely the opposiate, she came bursting in, can I meet that lady again she got me out of lesson, (ok), I've drawn a picture of the house, drew round buttons and named them as family, from what I can gather Bailey featured very highly in all the pictures, she asked me about my dad, and I told her i don't want to see him, and she told me I don't have to if I don't want to.
I was ready to ask 1001 questions, but knew that would be the worst thing on history, so have just let her tell us at her own pace. i know the court report is only part of the process, but if it is right what Miss Hoodie said its a big relief, thou as the saying goes don't count your chickens till their hatched. xx

Thanks giggles. I managed to do 7 of them. It took me ages to sort out my log in though, as I forgot my password. Doh. I was worried they would go before I got there.

That sounds good news Mum2one. It must be a relief. I agree that you must let Miss Hoodie let you tell you in her own time. Give her a big hug from me.

Anyone needing to do car insurance, my OH had it with Morethan and they had put it up by £15 a month so he rang them and said if they couldnt lower it he would look elsewhere. Said they could lower it a fiver but that was all so he looked online, found Mr T to be lowest quoting his same cover for the same money he is paying at the moment. Just went on today to pay for it and it asked him to put in his clubcard number and it took the price down to £10 a month cheaper than what he has been paying the last year. So will save £25 a month altogether.

Had a good afternoon sewing after all, have managed to finish 5 bags ready for my shop, need to sort out how to do a nice photo for them. Might keep one back as its my niece's birthday in July.
