    Elysia the weekend went quick but was nice. Didn't do much just stayed at home but was lovely to not be racing around. The boys are ok, my eldest has now taken to not only getting up in the night but waking at 5 to half 5 every morning! Really struggling with it, feel so tired.

    OH's interview didnt go as we would have liked but there is other options for him so hopefully he will be able to better himself just having to go through a different route.

    S&S scanner thing is great. I have been doing it for over four months now and have a few vouchers from it. The software is fine, had no problems.

    Well I havent got very far. The only thing that I have been able to do is to put a few things up on ebay. One of my small handbags and a walking stick bag, my Dads tie, and then I found a couple of useless to me bits of technology and bunged them on last night. Who knows. But no sales as yet.
    I havent managed any Road Kill, and havent used cash so nothing in my pot yet!.
    I have made a few notes of things to do, and will get there. I used to do Surveys but havent had the time to reignite them as yet. Did do a Buzzagent thing but not had much luck with that either. I dont think I have enough friends to talk to about things. Except those here of course.
    I have been sewing this week and making clothes for my granddaughter. (On my blog). But thats at least saved me some money as the outfit was made out of a duvet cover, charity shop buy at £3.25 so not bad. Buttons from button box and threads etc from the stash.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    :bdaycake:Happy Birthday Knithappens :bdaycake:

    What a way to celebrate - filling out Surveys!!! :rotfl:

    Mooloo - you've made some beautiful things on your blog, I read right back to the beginning, and saving money is what it's all about. I just wish I could make clothes and things.

    Sign back into Buzzagent - there's a promotion on at the mo for a leading margarine - you get a free one, and some money off samples. ;)

    When you have time, try and log back into the surveys - you might find you have some money unclaimed - you never know.

    Sorry Rufus - it was just a thought. :( I had hoped you didn't know, and we could have got you some more gold. ;)

    Happy Birthday Knithappens! Enjoy your brandy!
    Well DS is still awake but happily watching Scooby Doo so I have just written and sent in my 3rd guide! 2 more to go! Well 1 if I finsh this Rapunzel one!
    I have clicked on all your guides as being helpful; as I did scan read most to get an idea of what I am suppose to be doing! I read Stepmums, Elysias, Giggles, Ddraigs and Cha97michelle!
    Right off to have a break for 10 minutes as I am going crosseyed and have the laptop on my lap and my legs are burning! I am sure I read somewhere that someone got third degree burns by sitting with a laptop on their legs for ages!

    I only managed two - by the time I got through those the rest had disappeared. Wish they would speed up their website.

    Got screened out of the viva one but did a lot of polls and opinions on tl so hopefully boost my totals there.
