    Knit - I'm glad you all had a great time. OH and Elysia are watching Nemo now too.

    Michelle - I'm at 4/15 (two of these are already on DoU, but I re-wrote them because they were rubbish. Even better, they fit in the Home/Garden category ;))

    Savvy - You try and concentrate on your Uni work, the other stuff will have to fit in where it can. Did you manage to do any eBayy listing?

    We've got that on here too, the kids have gone upstairs though and we are watching it. lol.

    Just making an enchilada kit for dinner. Yum. Pricey, but I am really looking forward to it.

    Then I best do some more stuff when the kids go to bed. I haven't even tried surveys yet today. We've been moving beds round. DS1 into a proper bed we had given and was in the garage. DS2 into the cot bed, and got rid of the big little tykes fire engine bed he had. he was disturbing me all night as every time he turned over he hit the sides. I wonder how long till we have one of them fall out of the strange bed tonight. :rotfl:

    I've got to sort all our stuff out too for the trip tomorrow morning. I'll be gone till about 3:30, so you won't see much tomorrow.

    Have a lovely trip tomorrow michelle :)

    I haven't had a chance to list anything yet. Spent all morning trying to get my head around my assignment, then at lunchtime hubby complaining he's tired so let him have a few hours sleep whilst I hold the fort until early dinner. Had a bath and washed my hair now back to trying to understand double entry book keeping before I can start the assignment, it's ot going well lol.

    Just about to do s&s, then crack on with the tma. Hopefully it all falls into place before Tuesday evening so I can do a five day listing and hit my target. Shouldn't be too much of a problem, have loads to list. Must pick up parcel paper tommorow, will write out a list before I forget.

    well I never got round to listing that ebay! Went to watch the latest Harry Potter and now I feel all low.... Ive got the Harry Potter blues!!!! Its feels abit like my childhood has now officially ended now that HP has ended! How strange am I! hahaha Going to read the books from the start again I think, its been a few years now (after I read them a ridiculous number of times). I need to have children now just so I can introduce HP to them haha

    Did manage a 85p Viva survey this morn tho. Tried again and got screened out of 3 more so gave up then. I dont usually bother with the 85p ones but as Ive not been having much luck with the £1 ones recently Ive made a pact with myself to give these a go from now on! My aim is just a £10 redeem each month on any site as that should bring me up to £200 for xmas, nothing compared to others I know but its more than enough for me :D

    Thanks for the reminders Elysia! I have just done s&s and did tissues yesterday! Sorry havent been on much as I still have this dodgy tummy! Really not good! Plus have been helping a friend move house! I am also losing motivation and before anyone mentions it I am not a fan of reviews! lol! Will get into action when I feel a bit better but have put in some redeems this month so not too bad! Right think its an early night for me as I pooped!

    Well done Legend. You have an early night, and I hope you feel better soon.

    Giggles - DD1 is the same, she's going to be so sad. While she was on a school trip in China, she made me queue up in Asda at 12 am, to get a copy, before all her friends. :) DD2 will watch the films but she isn't interested much in the books. We'll have to start her on them though, as she's read all the books the school can supply, and now we have to supply our own. She's only 8, This is going to cost me a fortune, so I'd best find our library tickets.

    Michelle - have a lovely day tomorrow, I hope the weather stays dry for you.

    I hope you feel better soon Legend.

    Savvy - I hope you get your head around your assignment.

    I would like to go for the review challenge, please put me down for 15 reviews. I won't be able to start for another week though, but after that please feel free to give me a kick if I start slacking :)

    I relisted 5 things on Ebay but won't have time to add any new listings tonight. Better than nothing though.

    One final thing - we also watched Finding Nemo :D

    Well done hun. You do better with ebay than me. I couldn't find my camera until an hour ago, so I didn't bother then. Oops

    15 reviews - OK Nicky. We'll have to figure out a forfeit for anyone who doesn't do it. ;)

    Just finishing off for the night I think. Did an hour of ironing as well as all my other bits, and I think I am all ready for tomorrow. I have so much stuff to take what with DS2 keep having accidents and not knowing if it will rain or not.

    All a bit crazy. Then there is the sun hat we looked over the house for which eventually turned up. It's a bit crazy. We have to be at school for 9 and get back about 3:30, so I hope to see you all then. Have a good one.

    I think I am slightly ahead on reviews which is a good job as I don't think I will be fit for anything by tomorrow night. lol.

    Just going to check on the weather forecast i think, and watch the end of the Apprentice before a quick bath and bed I think. ETA - rain showers all day - i guess i will be taking rain coats then.

    Hi guys
    Sorry I am not keeping up with everything, I just don't seem to have time to do anything, work is the busiest its ever been I am working so many hours all I seem to do is work sleep work :o I have not even taken any leave this year yet!
    I managed to get another bit of paid extra work which I was going to do yesterday but had a migraine, so ended up doing it today along with cleaning the whole house, cooking a roast, listing 22 items on ebay and baking cookies for work tomorrow, I have literally just sat down and feel really tired now.
    I ended up with 9 items from the next sale and am hoping the 22 items i listed on ebay will more than cover the cost of them.
    I see everyone is doing really well with the challenges etc so well done you guys :T
    Aiming to completely pay off the credit card in 2012!
