    Thanks Elysia we havent quite done yet still the front garden to do. She has a lot of garden its a shame she can't get out to enjoy it.

    2 of my eBay items have sold made £6.50 there and got two more ending in an hour. Not a too bad a day after all!

    Well done Rufus. Did you enjoy the grand prix on sunday? It was alittle more exciting then I expected it to be

    Have been paid for the bag I made for the mum at Nursery last week.
    I also got paid for another small bag, that was for my stock, but my friend loved it so much. She insisted on paying for it, so thats £23.00 put away in my holiday purse. (Although I may need to buy things with the cash to make other things etc).
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Well done Mooloo - thats great news xx

    Claire - yes I enjoyed the Grand Prix a bit better than the last one, was disappointed about Jensen Button retiring from the race, was a shame as I thought he was doing well too.

    Had a few surveys this morning, nothing to write home about though lol

    Well done Mooloo on your sales. Is there any way you could compromise? - spend half and save half perhaps. That way you still get to make more items, but still have a little nest egg building up.

    How are feeling this morning Claire? I hope you're not planning to do the other garden straight away. You won't be able to stand. ;)

    Dooyoo still down, I did want to write a few in reviews in that new promotion, but obviously I can't get on to see what's in it. :(

    Christmas is coming.:j - Boots' Christmas Range is being lauched today. :D

    £10 voucher redeem on s&s this morning :)

    Rufus I felt the same about Button he was doing well and it was silly mistake by the pit guys.

    I'm ok this morning thanks elysia. A little tired but getting on with things. No gardening today my son is having his first sports day this afternoon at the nursery. Its for the whole school so should be fun.

    Like the Christmas boots range being launched, shows we are getting closer!

    Morning ladies :)

    Well done mooloo, if you split our profit then as Elysia says you can buy more stock and have some fruits of your labour too.

    Boots Christmas range? Is it going to be online? where can I have a sneak peak? I love checking out their Christmas range :)

    Well done all who have managed to get ext slots, very jealous as I don't have a credit account with them so I never get one so I think it's going to be the 4am wait outside the local store to get the bits I want again :( A little annoying as I have found out Next giftcards can only be used online with a credit account, they don't make it easy for people who like to pay immediately do they lol

    Things abit slow on the oney making side of things, only two surveys today, had a clixresearch invitation so that has cheeed me up.

    Will be tackling the wardrobe to get some clothes isted on ebay later, need some new holiday clothes :)
