Morning all
Inbox full of surveys again and screened out of all of them. I sold two items last night on EB though and have a bidder for tonight on one thing.0 -
Sorry I didn't get back on yesterday. I was too busy looking at the sales. Oops.
Savvy - didn't look at the younger girls stuff, but I would have if I'd have seen your message.As they added more stuff during the day before the sale, the four items I wanted became 10. Not all bad, only one was in stock, but then I was taking my time mooching about, and spent another £100.
Did you get the message on FB about the Goodybags? Nicky did you get yours too? Apparently they messaged everyone twice, but FB was playing up. If you go back to that page, they posted an email addy to contact them directly. Hang on a mo, I'll go find it. Here it is. If you message him your name and address, he'll get the gift in the post to you.
Rufus - I looked at your blog after mentioning it yesterday, and there was nothing new - did you put the shirt on afterwards? I'll take a peek in a bit.
Bunbun - Don't you worry hun, just ask for more time to pay. They may even have a fund to help parents in your situation. You never know.
Michelle - No news on DooU when I checked at 7, and no PF on Chow either. Another boring day today methinks.
Pink - I'm so jealous - I hope you have a wonderful holiday. You enjoy every minute of it hun. Back to money making when you get backI :heartpuls M.S.E.Mortgage Free 18/01/10 13 years and 8 months early on a 20 year mortgage!

Morning everyone
Not doing very well on the survey front don't seem to be getting many. As for product tests I have had five in the last week so that is fantastic.
Michelle I am feeling the same with dy starting to get annoyed by it. At least there is still C to put reviews on. Not doing too bad on there.
Think this month is going to be poor. I am going camping in just over a week and then OH has a week off after as well so will be having days off. So will be having two weeka off I think.GC 2015: Aug £272.21 /£300 Sept £112.41 /£300

Morning everyone, a beautiful day, which is making up for the surveys being so poo.
I have been hit by money for trips too, makes me laugh as my daughter has been allowed on the reward trip to alton towers, for £20, I am sure rewards trips used to be rewards and you did not pay, ahh well, she is using £10 from her savigns her grandma gives her for pocket money, and I will head to homebargains and buy her some cheep goodies for the coach trip. mini mans is a little better, £3.50 for a trip to heatonpark here in manchester (it is my fav park to go to , so he goes often) with a train ride and an ice cream, I think for him it a bonus as they have not had an end of school tip since the loal cinema closed down, so this will be nice.
I have one more day of teaching left next wednesday and then I am done, actually i wont be teaching as it is a review day, so my final teaching classes where yesterday, I am really going to miss the kids.
OK i will stop boring you all now, off to do some jobs and hang out the washing0 -

Morning everyone, hope all ok today. I am hobbling around today, had to call on a friend to take ds to school . Dont know what i have done but can barely put foot down on floor.
Just came on to say dont know how many of you are on change 4 life but whether you are already with them or not they are giving away a pack for things to do in the summer holidays with the kids. Thought it might have some good ideas link here
Haven't done much today, so much going on in my life things are a little crazy right now, but hopefully will calm down a bit soon.
Take care all hugs to those who need em!0 -
Morning all. Just.
Have been helping out at school all morning. They wanted some murals painting. I woke up with a headache, and have been surrounded by kids all morning wanting to help, and in boiling hot sun, so I really don't feel fit for anything now. I just came home, pegged the washing out and have flopped. Best feed the kids in a minute, but don't think we are up to much.
I'm on a school trip on Monday too. Taking my 2 to the seaside for the day. That was £6 each just for the coach, so it isn't cheap. We will be there about 3 and a half hours so not even there that long, but I am looking forward to it.
Money making - I'll have a little go, but can't see it being great. Kids are off school tomorrow for INSET so I am sure I will catch up tomorrow if not today. I just feel like having a nap to be honest before this headache becomes a migraine.0 -
