I also had an email from them on the swag toolbar with a survey worth 3 SB about my use of the toolbar. Took about one minute.

Thanks Michelle honey - I thought I might have missed that one, but still got it. I had that survey three or four days ago. I suppose they are doing them randomly.

I only need £6.50 on NV and I've just been offered a £3.50 partner survey from them. I did start it, but thought better of it, as the last five Samplicio-us ones haven't credited. If they had have, I would have had my cheque by now. :mad:

I've spend 95% of the time today on Doou so it's a chow day tomorrow. I apologise for some of you having to read the same ones twice.

Night all - having an early night tonight, I'm done in. Take care xxx

Elysia - nope they didn't pay me to look after him, I said just get me a bottle of wine. But the whole thing has been heart breaking. Obviously I can't say much but they are not the cleanest couple in the world and the poor little mite is dirty and smelly. Breaks my heart, just want to keep him with me. Gonna have to toughen up I think.

Well done on the crowns/reviews etc you are guys are doing so well.

Nicky - good for you on everything you did, you would have given such peace of mind. You could contact the police and explain and ask for your details to be passed on to family and they could let you know how he is if they want to. It may help your mind ease.

Legend - Erin sometimes asks to be called Elizabeth,(her middle name) that is when she announces she is going to be good all day. Elizabeth is good and Erin is cheeky!!!

Had a bloody horrible evening here with police round because eldest ss had been awol from where he lives for 3 days without letting anyone know where he is and the last chat with dh he was saying how low he felt. Had police round listing him as missing person as all his stuff was left behind etc. Long story short, praise to facebk as due to a spiderweb effect of messages he was tracked down with a girl wondering what all the fuss was about!!! Kids!!! Shed a lot of tears and worry tonight but at least he is ok. Do we ever stop worrying about them!!!???

Take care all

jayne, if you asked my mother she would say you never stop worrying about your kids. (I'm 40)

Love the names. Madam has got into her head that she is me me... why I have no idea... but its me me hungry, then she won't ask if you say Karen what do you want, you have to say me me what do you want!

She did make up some names when we were in Dom Rep, ready for when we hit the plaza, she called herself Devon, then I was renamed as Porche, her view was they could pronunce that!

Shes so funny, why I have got so many names, your named after your aunty and your great nan, ok, but why couldn't I just have one of their names

Karen Louisa Jessie Denise (surname!), she may have a point!! xx

LOL Elysia is the same. I had four names for Emily. The only names that go are Jane and louise, and both of them are my sisters middle names - so to stop the argueing I had both, and then plonked the name I wanted her to be called on the end. My nan chose my middle name, so I said to my mum we could carry on the tradition and she could choose. Carissa Emily didn't have a nice ring to it - So Emily is Emily Jayne Louise Carissa.

With Elysia I wanted that and OH wanted Harmony. We both wanted Hope as a middle name and to get the four, we used Oh's Mums middle name. Elysia Harmony Isabel Hope. I was so mad we went to open a bank account when she was four days old for all the money she was given, and the woman in the bank looked at her birth certificate and laughed her socks off. I cried for days, as obviously you're emotional anyway.

Stepmum - Kids! My mum would definitely tell you that you never stop worrying. I'm good but wasn't as a Teenager. I have a globetrotting sister who goes on holiday and ALWAYS injures herself while there, and one sister who was Ok as a teenager as has caused right trouble within the family this past eighteen months.

How's everyone doing today - it's quiet on here!

Been on Chow all morning rating - not earned much though. Off to a picnic at school now, it was supposed to be on the field, but it's been showery.

See you all later.

Afternoon all, hope you are all well

Shop.com goody bag arrived this morning, laughed my socks off when I looked inside. I think it is a sign I need to get ebaying!

Had a piney through this morning but haven't done it yet as I am doing/avoiding my assignment at the minute. Decided it needs to be done today so I can clear out the house and get my ebay on lol. Shall be wearing my special hat to let everyone know I am on a mission today :rotfl:

I am nowhere near payout on anything at the moment, but i did win 40 gold stars yesterday - only 100 more to go

I am actually staring to think I NEED to do the review challenge otherwise am going to be poor this month!

elysia2003

Ha ha mine came too - I'm so sorry everyone. I'm embarassed now. I'm going to ebay mine.

Worst mother of the year award goes to..........................................................................................Me. I only turned up to the picnic an hour late. I could have sworn it was 1 pm, it was 12 - 1. Elysia refused to eat her lunch as it was nearly time to go to class, and as she was upset, the receptionist said she could eat it in the office.

cha97michelle

Was it a load of old junk then in the bag. :rotfl:I thought it might. I wasn't that devestated to not see the message on time.

savvy I saw your win on the homepage. Nice one. That certainly helps things along.

elysia did no-one at school think to ring you? Blimey. You are not the worst though. There are plenty of kids who have to suffer worse than that. In fact I was not great myself today. We picked up the kids from nursery. My two always run up the path a little way ahead then wait at the school gate. My DS1 was climbing and managed to get 3 of his fingers trapped in the fence, and I was so busy gas bagging I didn't even hear him crying. Another mum helped him down as he was hanging there. He had a line off the wire fence going across all of his fingers. I thought it was cut at first, but luckily only marked and bruised. Boy did I feel bad.


Not too bad a morning otherwise. I managed a £1 on surv. network, and not had chance to try the others yet. I got distracted as I got a final payment for tax credits from last year. £950. I am so pleased, and I paid a good chunk of it off my mortgage. Everyone kept telling me we were being paid wrong last year, and that works out as about £73 too little each month. Mental.

I haven't had any paperwork through yet, but I might actually be able to afford to slow down a little. It's nice to have a bit more pressure off.

elysia2003

Michelle - there was a shop.com shopping list pad, mug, and mousemat, and an ebay cap. DD1 laughed and said 'What on earth are we going to do with them?'

I hope DS is ok now. Kids!!! Congrats on the Tax credits. Hopefully now, that next years allowance will be higher, so it will have a rolling effect. Yay

Are you all still playing on WH then? I gave up with it when I started SB's, as I could get more payouts from that. I might still play every now and then though when I'm bored.

cha97michelle

DS is now fine, but he does have a nice red mark across all of his fingers on that hand. It was such a big dint into his skin, I am so shocked it didn't cut, and the poor thing was so brave. Another mum lifted him down while I was being ignorant to his plight. He'll live.

tax credits - we got one of the smaller packs this year, and although they knew that I was working, they still thought I was earning over £10k per year, and I haven't been teaching for about 2 years now. We have queried it so many times, but we had a whole problem for the past couple of years where the tax office had got DHs tax code wrong, so they were taking too much tax, the student loan people took too much, and now these didn't pay us enough. We've had some cracking rebates this past 6 months though. :rotfl:Enforced saving. The way I see it that time has gone and we haven't got into dire straits without it, through me being careful, so it might as well go to the mortgage.

WH - Yes - it is running in the background most of the time I am at the computer. I've only really just got into having it running. I'm still with the other one too. sometimes 2 lots running at once. Driving everyone mental. :rotfl:I can see already it is not profitable. It is quite amusing though.

No wonder I am always tired thinking about it, as I usually have both reviews open too at the same time, and hop back and forth like a mad thing trying to do everything. Probably the definition of insanity.

(Just realised that I probably confuse everyone too with all the codes relating to all the different places. How do we all follow this? )
