DY is being moved onto a new server. It was meant to happen on nThursday evening, but it is down till at least Monday. Pain in the bum really as it is normally the weekend I get most time at it.

I'm just taking some time off though instead of doing much. I've done some cooking, and watched a film.

Elysia glad you had a good time at legoland. I am absolutely gutted, I ordered tickets thrugh tesco last year and looked at them last week and they have expired :eek: I have gone on and on to the kids how we would go there and there is no way we can afford to take them and pay for tickets now feel so awful. :mad:

Will have a go at the challenges this month, didn;t do very well at all with totals last month so gonna give it a good push for July.However quite pleased as some of the amazon vouchers I have earned I have used to buy birthday presents for dd so that was money neautral :T and already bought a couple of xmas presents too.

ANyway good luck everyone hope you all have a good weekend and catch up with you all soon. Take care xxxx

Hiya Twinkle. I've been out all day and checked twitter when I got in. I just came to post that code, so if anyone hasn't got it yet, it's still working.

Shame about your Mr T vouchers. I had some for a family ticket for iceskating, that I found about a fortnight ago, that expired about six months ago. It's easily done. You could spend loads there, but 90% of the stuff, comes in the price.

Dingdong - He'll have a good day there today hopefully. The weather was overcast all day, but it didn't spoil anything - it just doesn't look very good in the photos. I'm glad DS1 had a lovely birthday. They grow up too fast don't they? I bet his face looked a picture when he got his phone, but give him 6 months and he'll want the lastest one with all the bells and whistles on.

Emma - hiya hun. You're doing very well. Yes Doou has been having problems lately. Did your review appear again. I went to rate and it was blank. I did ask you to let me know when it was back up, but with the problems, I haven't been back on since. When it's back up, I'll check to see if theres any I've missed.

Hiya Giggles - how's things going hun? Are you still loving your job? I hope so.

Hello Rebecca - how's the money making coming along? Are you ok? If you need any help just shout.

Hey Elysia, Im doing great thanks . Still enjoying the job and feeling like Im starting to get stuck in now. Got my first allocation of clients on friday so will start working on them from monday so the real fun begins now! haha

Moneymaking has been poop for me I cant seem to find the time to look at surveys in the week so obviously they have all gone by weekend! damn! But I am feeling the ebay challenge so am going to see what I can do with this!

Bearing the ebay challenge in mind...

My uncle gave me a HUGe collection of greeting cards that they found in a house. They were the old occupiers and he thought he would give them me to see if I could make any money from them when I do a car boot. At the time I sorted through them all and counted them etc and there is definately over 100 although it is so long ago now (been sat in the box since last year!) that I cant remember how many exactly! The cards are really old so some are quite outdated but some are definately still useable. I was thinking of ways to sell them and considered approaching the market and seeing if the card seller wanted to buy them off me cheap, but then I dont think Im quite that confident haha. Thought about a car boot, which is an option but I could probably only ask 10-20p ish and I dont think people can be bothered searching through a huge box like that, I know I would get bored! So I think I might give them a go on ebay?....

What do you all think?

I am going to sort through now and start putting them in piles of 5 similar ones and was thinking 99p plus P+P. It shouldnt be too much P+P as they will fit into an A3 envelope which I think is still classed as a 'standard' letter isnt it? And that also means I dont need to go to the psot office I could just pop them in the post box. I know that this means Im not covered incase they are lost but bearing in mind I work so can not get to the post office very often, and they cost me nothing to start with, I think its probably worth the risk.

Hi, luckily i always save my reviews in word so I copied it over again, must have been problems with messages to as I could see you had been in but no message there? Hope they get it back up soon want to keep u the pace and get the next cheque through.

elysia2003

I'll definitely rate you again Emma. Don't worry. I don't do every one but must be getting on for 90%.

Giggles, give it a go hun. What have you got to lose on a 99p listing? Nothing. Let us know how you get on.

Morning all! Well the big day has arrived and I am eagerly, cough cough, awaiting the influx of Pirates at 12! Praying the weather stays dry, not asking for a heatwave just dry until 3 ish will do me! Cross your fingers girlies!
I have been popping on on my phone but no time to post so hope your all doing well! I am shattered as DS had me up at half 5 yesterday and I didnt stop all say with cleaning and putting up decs and picking up his cake and last few bits and bobs! Then it took me an age to make black icing, that is a mission in itself, and I am not that fussed on it at all! Made a batch of cupcakes and fairy cakes and when my back was turned DS decided to nick half the fairy cakes so had to make another lot and now I have loads!
Right off I go to cook chicken nuggets and sausages etc! Will pop on later as I need to upload S&S and do the thingy we do Elysia!
Hope you all have a nice Sunday! xx

It is OH's long weekend so we have been making the most of it having family time. Going to watch the grand prix this afternoon, I was looking forward to it till they started messing with the rules of the car.

Hope dy is up and running tomorrow.
