Thanks for the best wishes girls. It has kind of gone, but I can still feel it. I think I might take some more tablets anyway as I can't really stop. I know I just push myself too far, and hopefully the break will do me the world of good. No tv or internet, will hopefully mean I just do things that relax me like some knitting.

I'm sure all I need is a bit more sleep.

Elysia, I don't envy you at all with that child sleeping over. My nephew is like that, whereas my 2 are in bed really early, so he doesn't understand when my 2 are tired and we come home and leave them to it. Wow she must find it hard to concentrate though at school.

It's quiet today - are you all working hard?


Been screened out of quite a few surveys today - but I did manage to complete one I deleted by mistake after emailing the product test people. It was yum

Not much going on here - I've been rating 90% of the time - this Chow isn't half a lot of effort. I had a review published on both sides at the same time - the dooU one has more ratings and I've not been on today - only Chow. ????????? Oh well - let's hope the premium fund is kind

I hope everyone is ok

Michelle - I hope you are feeling better!
bunbun - Hope you are having a fab time
Elysia - What is this premium fund everyone keeps on about? I did see your review, hopefully lots of people return rates on that one! I have noticed alot of people havent been returning

I've had a nightmare day with DD, no nap = tantrum after tantrum, it's been raining here so no going out in the garden that always keeps her quiet! I managed a £1 survey on VO and thats about it today, I've had a couple on there pending for what seems like an eternity and I'm at £9.75 grr!!

Cornish - for every 'E' Exceptional you get, you earn a share of the premium fund. It's given out once a month and it's about £2,000. The more E's you get, the more your share is. The first time I earned £12 off 8 E's - the second time I earned £5 off 28 - so it's a bit hit and miss. You just have to do your best, and keep rating.

Oh dear - the riots in London have spread here - Some people - any excuse to cause trouble. :mad: We're away from City Centre but it's still bad.

That doesn't sound good Elysia. I'm really hoping it all dies down quickly before anyone gets badly hurt, It's awful isn't it.

pinkfluffybabe

It's really awful and if it doesn't get nipped in the bud it is going to keep on spreading.

Not managed much today - plodding through dy reading that I missed and keeping on top of surveys.

We had a lucky break, OH's Mum was here all weekend and she went home today, we were going to take her home, she lives in Lewisham but she said at last minute this morning that she was going to get the train. We would have still been up there with all this going on. OH is worried about her but she is not in the town, a bit further out and he has spoken to her.

On a good note, I had my £50 NV cheque this morning so went and paid it in the bank when we walked her up the station. Was glad it came as YD gave me a shopping list this morning of things she needs for tomorrow as she is going away.

Oh Elysia, that's bad hun. I don't understand the mentality of some people. I understand that someone got killed, but people are now jumping on the bandwagon aren't they.

Took the kids to the Cinema to see Cars 2 yesterday DS loved it, and never moved. DD was a nightmare, sat still for all of 10 minutes! Then tonight she has lay on the couch for 2 goddarn hours watching Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs, and never moved!

Can someone enlighten me on what the "tissues" reference is, I haven't a clue!

Think I'm doing ok with the £2.50 a day challenge, like Legend I think what I make on Ebay will even out over the month.

Have sorted out DD's wardrobe tonight, have been given a load of clothes for her which will be for next year, so sorted her old stuff - some for ebay, some for charity shop, some for friends. She hasn't got any room in her wardrobe now!

Hope everyone is doing okay, xx

Evening all, it's been all go today not had a chance to catch up yet, hope you are all ok. I heard about the riots this morning and I hope it's brought to an end swiftly, I feel for those who have their business's trashed and families who have been left with nothing, it's so awful

My listed item on the bay is doing really well, it's only been a day since listed and it's already up to £7.50, not bad for one mans trash etc. Elysia, my cashback is still pending but Boots always take a little while longer than most stores, I'm sure it will paid next month so keeping fingers crossed for us both. Hope the sleepover goes smoothly, you are braver than me x

Off to make jelly, we bought sugar free so hopefully it wont be a disaster and we have loads of balloons to blow up, hubby had a go and said he couldn't do them (I think he meant the animal shaped ones) so wish me luck lol

Well done on your cheque Rufus, well deserved too

Cornish I feel for you hun, dd has had screaming tantrums and tears the last few days, very out of character, noticed today the last few teeth are coming through and one of them is a little fang and very sharp poor little mite. Hope your little one has a good rest and a peaceful tomorrow!

Michelle hope your feeling better and all packig and prep is sorted, make sure you get some good relaxation in!

Hope your enjoying some time out bunbun
