Oh dear Savvy! I really feel for you hun! I had no problems but was very slow?

Don't worry about it, now my brand new laptop is broken :mad: I give up I well and truly do, it's just been one thing after another and I have reached my limit

Evening all

Savvy - I cant believe the luck you are having (or not having). If its not one thing its another.

I didn't do much today, cooked dinner than sat and watched the Grand Prix while doing some rating at the same time. Then sorted out my craft room this afternoon. No new emails this afternoon but might do another review as OH wont be in for an hour or so yet.

Edited to add I have done the other review and it has taken me over the redeem amount, just need to wait until the points are added properly. Thats 6/25 done.

Well done Rufus.

Savvy - I can't believe this bad luck. What can I say to make it better? Not a lot I know - but we're here for you if you want to vent.

Legend - you life saver. Thanks for the reminder. I'll do that now.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. I've had a lovely day. The film was good - review written, and just waiting for it to be posted (on Chow). I'm at 7/15 now.

Sorry to read and run, need to do S&S, Tissues, and I haven't even packed yet. :eek:

I'm not sure if it's my dongle playing up or computer, so if I'm not on for a few days it's the dongle

Take care everyone. 'See you soon' xxx

Elysia - Happy birthday wishes, hope u had a good day

Rufus - Massive thanks for the nametags, - got Miss Hoodie a set ordered last night - Pink, with a horses head!!

Not a bad day here, it was lovely and sunny, did a small car boot, and made £15, so thats been reinvested in petrol for the car.

Not a gd day yesterday, think what could go wrong did, IS have decided to stop my benefits, (a complete farce), the court date has got changed now doing it on Miss Hoodies bday...

Open Uni - have now decided not entitled to disabled grant... give up!!

Letter from hospital - got to make an appointment to see specialist re my knee, - but when I spoke to GP (could have throttled him, I have never came across such a rude man before, he's only at surgery for 6 weeks) - he said knee knackered, need surgery, but my weight and age against me, so basically feel like wasteing the consultants time.

This is so weird don't know if anyone is watching holiday hijack, - in Gambia, (bar very posh hotel), theres so many places there visiting, I've been there... Miss Hoodie has now decided she does not want to go to the Gambia she likes luxury!! xx

Happy birthday elysia

hope you had a great day. have a fab holiday!

rufus well done on your DY redeem. I don't go to the cinema very often either, I find it very expensive. I should go more often if I want to qualify for more entertainment surveys! we are all going to see Harry Potter on Wednesday but that is orange Wednesday!!

your labels sound fab. I have to admit I use iron on ones as I HATE sewing but more often that not I use a pen:o

you are all doing really well on your DY challenge. I am going to have my work cut out when I eventually get my act together and get back to rating:D

savvy I am so sorry to hear of all the bad luck you are having at the moment:( well done on getting your assignment finished :j

legend thanks for the S&S reminder. I have done the barcodes but still need to do the receipts

nicky well done on your ebay bargain. your ds will love them:T

emma well done on DY:T sorry I can't help with jewelry ideas - I would love to make my own...maybe one day!!

claire have a fab time camping

cornish sorry about your driving test. I have sent you a pm about DY

well...we are getting a dog. we have been thinking about it for a while and been to a couple of rehoming centres but not seen anything suitable - the one we went to today were mainly looking for couples with no children or children over 14. anyway when OH went to buy cat food from the local pet shop he noticed a breeder with springer spaniels for sale. so we went to have a look and as predicted they were so cute. we will get it when we get back from our hols. what have we let ourselves in for!!

Is it bad of me that my first thought about the sew in labels was that I could unpick them and re-use them so they should last me years. I am so tight it is unbelievable.

This is why I SOOOOOOOOO love this thread, I feel normal on here :rotfl::rotfl:I have actually done this, just make sure you don't sew them in too tight or they go curly !

We're going to see Mr Poppers penguins - four free tickets courtesy of the freebie board. I haven't managed to get any freebie ones for ages, but I used to get them about once a fortnight. It was brilliant, and saved a fortune. :)x

Happy Birthday to you Elysia, hope you enjoyed the film. DD1 & I saw it in Kettering with the freebie too & it was much better than the trailer.

Here's to the Summer Hols :eek:

cha97michelle

Me too. I'm not tight, I am normal. Love it.

cute pup piccie if anyone wants to see it on my diary. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=45532022&postcount=2578

rufus - well done on reaching the redeem. IS that a cheque?

Mum2one - grrrrr. what a rude man. My mum always says it's not what you say, it's the way you say it. I think I would cry if someone said that to me. There are not many people these days who are a good weight for their height. I think I could do with being at least half a foot taller for my weight.

Sorry it's abit late but happy birthday Elysia!!! Hope you have had a fab day! xx

mum2one - I've also had alot of problems with my knees, last year I had to have surgery and got told I HAD to lose weight or it will keep reoccuring, not the nicest of words!

Michelle - Those pups look so cute! I'd love a pup but don't think I'd be able to give it the attention it would need

I've spent the day trying to sort out the garden. Stepdad managed to strimer a toad Poor little mite!! I've decided I need to find a man.. not for me though... for my garden! (I hate doing it!!)

stepmum

Happy birthday Elysia!!!!! Glad you had a good day xx
