    All those with kindles, e-readers, should check out this great bit of software, its free and works like a library on your pc to keep all your books together. It has the facility to download covers and write ups about your books and lets you share your books. It even goes on line via a seach and finds the cheapest place to buy the book. Awesome. ...Even converts books into different...

    Oh what a shame Savvy - I posted it as soon as I could. It took me ten minutes to find it. :( They hid that one well.

    I hope everyone has had a good day today - it's been quiet on here.

    I'm off now. Night night. xxx

    That's ok I dont really understand sb tbh. I did a search and won 50 points and then did a survey for 100, which signed me up to a UK baking community where you are rewarded for posting with gift vouchers or something, and awarded an extra point for completeing a survey. very odd lol.

    Night all, been ill today so haven't been on much. Catch up tomorrow x

    Xmas Saver!
    I also think it is a great idea to have the amazon list. I tend to compile a list for my two myself as I see stuff as people will always ask me nearer the time and it is better than going i don't know and then them picking.

    That way they can buy as much or little as they want.

    Tell them she has made it herself, and she sounds sensible so I can't see her putting loads of mega expensive things on.


    DY update the problem seems to be fixed. I'm fed up now though, as i have 20 reads and no rates on the review i have redone this morning.

    On the brightside - i have had 15 E ratings already this month on Chow.

    Thank you, thou she loves money, she is sensible when choosing stuff, and that their be a variety of prices, not put anyone on spot.

    We have major developments, they rang tonight and Miss Hoodie had a chat to them, then I had a natter, and they've how would we feel going on holiday with them, and the aunty and uncle, as they hire an apartment in Alicante, and they'd like us to go with them either Easter or May school hols... they said they pay for the apartment and help with the flights.... course madam overheard, (that was something to do with mum in the small room, straining to get the bathrm door open so she could hear what was going on, told her, she then tells dad, (so I offered to ring the newspaper and put an advert it!! - went down like a dose of epsom salts), so of course Miss Hoodie heard, just said its an idea to think abut, she pipes up, they do realise I only like 4star and above all inclusive... (theres me thinking don't we all.... wheres the money tree!!). So were thinking seriously about it, just depend how the flights are.

    Poor dads got told he's doing the decorating over the summer hols, poor man ain't going to get much peace!!

    He took miss Hoodie and her bf to a funday, dropped them off about 11/45am, 2pm got call, we're bored come and pick us up!! So had them making book marks this afternoon... cheap labour!! xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    LOL. Mum2one there's always something going on at your house isn't there? All these holidays to plan. If you're asking for advice, I'd say don't rush into booking flights etc. You need to see how things pan out first - give it until Christmas and then decide. I hope you don't mind me saying - It's that I worry about you.

    Savvy - that baking thing is brilliant. I've signed up to loads, one of those panels is what Legend and I are both on, ours is about tissue products beginning with a K. ;) We get $15 a month for participating and prizes too (not had one of those yet). I've had panels that lasted a year (danone activia) and ones that last a weekend (B&Q) so I recommend to anyone, if you get invited, join in. You usually get quite a high payment, for very little work. :D

    So Sorry - I got carried away replying then - Morning everyone. Let's make this week and excellent money making one. :D

    Morning Elysia and everyone else

    I went to join up SB yesterday but found I am already on it lol but not sure what I am doing on there yet lol. It will come I expect.

    I had another YG survey this morning, typical isnt, all that waiting then loads all together. Had a £5 Am voucher yesterday so that account is going up nicely.

    YD is going away on Thursday so need to give her some money to take, luckily got no insurance to pay this month so that will cover what I need to give her just about.

    Made her a couple more vests out of those t-shirts yesterday so she has a few now for her holdiay and didnt cost anything. Sold three items on EB last night and have one sale tonight. Two havent paid yet though and I was hoping they would as we have to go to town this morning and I could have taken them up with me.
