    Hi All,

    Am feeling rough today after dinner at a friends last night, seeking solace on the sofa, bad tv and the net.

    Not having much luck with surveys but trying to do some reading on DY.

    No progress on TL vouchers - have two pending.

    Have a nice Sunday! :D

    Its a lush day here in Wales, dont get to say that often! Have made my money as dropped off some stuff I sold on Facebook and had £25! Also used a load of coupons in another Tesco so got more Dove and Dettol No Touch thingys! DS has a party at 4 so saved even more money because I dont have to feed him tonight! lol]
    OH's niece is staying tonight for the first time as OH's bro's gf has gone into labour! So a baby boy will be an addition to the family soon! Luckily I have the birth present and Christmas present sorted!
    Some please remind me again about shop and scan tonight as I need to start making a move for this party and lord knows what will happen later with 2 kids in the house! Oh and Elysia dont forget Kleenex today if you havent been on already!

    Thanks for your comments xx

    I've spoke to him again today and he sounds a bit perkier. He'll be back on Thurday morning after his night shift but only for 4 days :( I do miss him. Its the price you pay for more money. We've said we'd do this for 2 years then decide if I should make the move to London or he comes back down to Torquay, either way we hope to have rid of most of his debts so there wont be so much pressure to earn more money.

    Right, its sunday, students are out on a jolly....ebay time! Woo! :D

    Hiya giggles - it does you good to let your hair down a bit, now and again. Don't you worry - just have fun. Back to the money making soon though, or you'll have nothing left. ;)


    Here's a freebie day out for your OH's and the kids. Register (they send no spam, honestly) and click on the purple banner in the corner - you can get four tickets, watching rally cars racing at Silverstone. It's a brilliant day out, I'm told - I got my Dad tickets last year and he loved it. :)

    I went to look at this as it sounds great...but cant find the purple banner?! Im probably just so tired that my eyes cant see straight! :rotfl:

    Edit; found it:o

    Evening all, assignment done and sent. Have a feeling I messed up on the referencing but hey ho it's done now so I can relax a little. It's the content that counts mostly, I hope.

    I managed £1 on viva, almost at redeem again, I won on the cashback thing that Elysia won yesterday (not counting that until it's paid) but I did get £7.44 in boots points, and £1.60 shop and scan. That's me done for the day I think.

    It's toooo hot today :(

    Well done Savvy - I thought you weren't going to bother when I saw your posts on that thread, earlier in the day. You've got to be in it, to win it as they say ;) There's always a chance they'll pay - she says with her fingers crossed.

    Legend - thanks for the reminder. I'm off over there in a sec :)

    I'm sat here almost bald ;) - It took me three hours to send my S&S barcodes and receipts. Grrr It turns out the internet is running slowly today and it was taking twice/three times as long to upload. Of course, when it didn't go in the usual time, I was stopping it and trying again. In the end, I let it run by itself and it went - same as the receipt upload. I'll remember that for next time. I was literally pulling my hair out by the end.

    I hope everyone had a good day. :D I love the sunshine but it was too hot for me. I have some lovely photo's of DD today, with her funky shades on and a parasol. Everyone where we went, was commenting how cool (in both sences of the word) she looked. If I can figure out how to upload them, I'll show you. :)

    Gald you had a lovely day Elysia, it's good to have a day off and enjoy the sunshine isn't it.

    Yeah, I decided to give it a go, I bought things we needed so if worst comes to worst it's not a problem. It seems genuine to me, it has been advertised on a few websites but maybe people were a little put off spending money if they didn't win. Who knows, fingers crossed for us all :)

    I'm off to bed, have a good evening all, see you bright and early(ish) ;)

    Hey guys, hope you are all well :)
    Just realised it has been 2 weeks again, I really really need to keep up.
    I have tried to do some catching up today, I have done all the sponsored polls on T but was screened out of surveys.
    I listed 15 items on ebay last Sunday which finished today, sold 5 items which came to £28, have lots more stuff to list still.
    I am due my second £20 voucher from onepost this week so pleased with that.
    I have been working so much lately doing 12 hour days and bringing stuff home with me as we are understaffed and I am having real trouble recruiting.
    I have been working things out with OH he came back a couple of days ago and we are going to see how things go.
    Been doing lots of baking, done biscuits today which are not as perfect as I would like, they are not quite round enough for my liking but still taste good!
    Sounds like you have all been really busy, well done everyone :T
    Aiming to completely pay off the credit card in 2012!

    Kec - that is BRILLIANT news. I'm so pleased for you both. :D

    You're doing really well keeping on top of things. The way things are at the moment, you would have thought filling the job would be easy. :( I'm glad you're doing ok, and thanks for popping in.

    Let us know how things get on, but remember we're here if you need us. ;)
