    Had a quiet first week back mse.
    My T voucher came today yeah! Makes me more motivated to get back to it on there.
    Elysia we have used OH postie pass before at a nice country house near us, it's great a small perk of their job.
    This week I have been busy listing items on eBay for my dad I am getting 30 percent of what he makes which is great. Still got a lot to list yet!
    Sparkleychel hope DD gets better soon.
    My DS has done his first full week at nursery, I'm so proud of him.

    Claire - Ahh bless DS. They look too tiny to be going don't they. It'll do you both the world of good though. I used to think I would miss my DD's so much, but after the first couple of days, you soon get used to the freedom. :D

    Well done on the ebay listing. I've had a sort out and have loads to go on the next free weekend.

    Another update - only 60 silver to go for WH. :j

    Elysia and Susan : Thanks ladies. I know you are right, I deffo need to not stress about it. Love the idea of treating it like roleplay! I used to love abit of acting here or there haha Will let you know how I get on on tuesday!

    Managed to do another survey on viva today. Just £3 more needed for my 2nd redeem so fingers crossed some are added over the next few days.

    bunbun: glad that neither of you have the condition too. Sounds like one or both of you are the carrier of the condition, you any children you have could have the condition but you would not yourself. I think the children can also be carriers. Hopefully you will be able to get your head round it all soon.

    Hope everyone ok, and big hugs from me and Miss Hoodie, had £15 from Tlooy, so thats a step closer to the wardrobe fund!
    Guess it was technically money saving, got some paint for miss Hoodies room, a pale pink, bit darker than candy floss, I like the colour as well, so got another tin, then realised it was on 3 4 2, - needed to be at those prices!! even with dads OAP discount - £62 (but in defence it was Dulux 5 litre and colour your own), poor dads been told he's painting her room and putting her furniture up!!

    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    apologies if this is already on, but def a supersaver - free 2 month rail card, then the option of buying a 12 month one at £14 instead of £28.

    Books - If anyone needs any bargin books The Works have got a massive clearance sale on, High School Musical, Walle, Up, Hanah Montana, biys books as well - 49p a book

    Theres books, for ladies, gents, boys and girls at 49p
    Doctor who books 2 for £1.00

    Notelets set - there normally £1.99 have been on bogof - but the pictures of the chocolates are reduced to 50p pack, look a lot more expensive.

    I spent £10.16, the normal instore price was £33, but looking at original barcode prices - should have been over £100, big bargains, doesn't need a bit of patience as its all mixed up, but well worth it xx

    Thanks Bunbun - I won on my first game this morning. Back up to 48 B and 71 silver. :D

    A couple more surveys added to viva this morning - watch out for the populus one though, it says 12 minutes but was more like 45. Grrr

    What's everyone's plans for today then? Anything exciting?

    Elysia I am already getting used to the freedom of him being at nursery although I do have a 20 month old to run after still. I forgot how easy it was with just one child to watch.

    Managed another review on Dy. Got through all the sponsered polls on T and just managed a new topic. Going to try and get through everyones on there as I haven't been on ages. If anyone gets time please could they do mine.

    Going to have a lazy day today with OH out at work.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend.
