    I just found out WH is not going to be back up until Friday. :( Oh well, that'll save me checking every half an hour. ;)

    Giggles - that sounds really great. I'll think of you on Friday. Hope it goes well.

    I've just written my extra 2 guides so i have done 5 now. I think i will have spent about 5 hours altogether because i was very slow at first getting inspired over which angle to take, but these last two took about one hour all told. There are some guides i have seen that are definitely better than others, and it made me feel more confident about what i had written. I think anyone who does dy or ciao will be ok.

    I don't know if i can be bothered with much else tonight. I want to watch the Apprentice. I might do that then see how i feel.

    Michelle - you've earned £20 today without all the other stuff you've done. Watch the apprentice and take it easy for the rest of the night, you deserve it. ;)

    Feel really daunted by the guide writing. I have looked at the ones done and they seem really professional. Can't see many things in the list that I have any knowledge of either. Found 3 and may give it a go tomorrow but not sure. Did you guys that have done them find them easy to do?

    take care all

    Thanks for all that information mum2one. I definitely need to take this seriously then.

    So am i right in thinking it must have been the crisps? Prior to that i had eaten about 6 hours earlier, which was beef, mash, carrots and broccoli. Nothing offensive there and i think i would have reacted sooner. I had also eaten prawns about 12 hours earlier.

    I've fished the pack out of the bin.

    Someone else showed me a link about people who suffer from other allergies can suddenly have food allergies too especially to raw foods. I will get myself a Dr appointment as when i think about it, i have developed hives before without me knowing what had caused it. This was a couple of years ago though, so not sure if it is linked. I have fairly bad hayfever and have done for about 15 years. I can feel the symptoms of that, but i don't think i am having any other symptoms.

    I definitely won't be eating that type of crisp again.

    Scary stuff. I'll get myself a Drs appointment.

    Hi, sorry to be mother hen, but glad you didn't mind, it def sounds like an ingredient in the crisps, as if was an anaphlixis shock, def sounds like, it reacts straight away, the good thing is you've got the packet, which is half the battle.
    Its just keeping an eye on everything for now, but plz get the docs appointment xx

    I am still alive ladies. Just,lol. I have just read this afternoon about the guides and have just submitted one. Hope it goes through. Absolutely gutted about WH bingo being down til Friday. Made a few more things. I will take pictures I promise. I would like to arrange them to make a blog out of them. I am just so disorganised. But I am learning, if I am going to do this. I am going to do it because I enjoy it.

    I , me, the most disorganised woman in the world has actually opened a savings account and has £100 in it. Set up a standing order of £50 a month. Whoop, lol.

    Rufus I can not wait to see what you have been making also.

    Elysia thank you for putting us on to the latest job.xx

    Giggles, congrats on getting published.

    And has anyone heard from Kec? How is she?

    What fun _ games got the cafcass report back, got to say massive thank you (forgot who sorry), who said to get it via email from solicitors, its made me out to be the wicked witch of the west, and him near Mr Perfect, and as for Miss Hoodie, certainly didn't recognise the description.
    Plus points - shes recommend he does not get parental responsibility, (which was my biggest concern), but that he can have indirect contact, to do a lifebook of his family and his new son (i can't be 100% sure) but Miss Hoodie now knows she has a half brother, and we haven't told her!! and he wants to do birthday presents, and christmas presents........ Yep..... like the baby cot, clothes, pram and the endless list he was getting when I was expecting, oh sorry he brought 1 romper suit!! should have framed it,

    I'm praticing calm........ ready for the court 2mor!! Help

    had a good day, went out for lunch with Miss hoodies teacher, and I never laughed so much, we both had tears down our faces, how the conversation come around to toilets, don't know!! but telling her about my friend, when we where in this restaurant in Tunisia, my mate and I were at this restaurant, I'd been before, we were slightly merry, and she asked where the loo's where, I got as far as saying behind the curtain, she then thought it was literally behind the curtain, and we then fell about laughing, by the time I explained to her go through the curtains the ladies were one side gents the other, we must have had about 5mins of us giggling....... You can't take me anywhere!!

    couple of surveys, today not much, toluna been playing up, not sure if its the computer, try Miss hoodies in a minute, have to remember to put it back to her email address! xx

    Hi guys, sorry I have not been around just realised its been 9 days since I last logged in. Not been doing anything apart from going to work, have not left the house other than that.

    Been having mainly bad days can't seem to do anything but cry and sit on the sofa, its been that bad I have not even been coming on computer! Not really eating/sleeping so feeling quite weak.

    Made myself do something this evening though so made some cakes, its impossible to be upset when baking!

    I have logged on to T and had enough points to redeem for the third time :D Also received my first £20 M&S voucher today from being a seed for 1post which really made me smile.

    Hope everyone is ok and doing well on money making front, I have unintentionally saved money on food shopping last 2 weeks, but really need a kick up the backside to start surveys etc again.

    much love to everyone xx
    Aiming to completely pay off the credit card in 2012!

    Good luck for tomorrow Mum2one. Give miss Hoodie a bug hug from us. It'll all be fine, I'm sure.

    Stepmum - you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Honestly!!! It does seem hard, but it's just the 100 words you write on a normal review plus a few more. You just have to add a few links to other items. All of mine were about shoes, so I said about the fit, and the style, how comfortable they were, prices, whether they are available in kids sizes, and put in a few links of ones in different colours. I did lose my mojo by the last one, but £50 is not to be sniffed at.

    If you think you can't do it - have a look at the last few weeks posts on shop's facebook wall. Half of the people who wrote reviews, and posted on the FB wall, can't even write English very well. Check it out, you'll see. What I'm trying to say, but badly, is that YOU CAN do it. Do as many words as you can. Save it, for an hour, and go back to it, and see if there's anything else you can add. It's only 400 words. It's not a problem - I promise. :A Keep thinking about what you can spend the money on. :money:
