Sorry I haven't been around, I have been working hard with the money making though. I have been clearing out all the un-necessary items, swapping and selling (that's my proactive part of the challenge!) made £50 elc vouchers yesterday, swapped some unwanted new items for wanted new items (mainly new bigger toys and things I need for holiday) That's pretty much us sorted for Christmas and holiday now. Just need to save for a new cooker, washing machine and sofas by Christmas. I'm sure we can do it

Hope you have a great time at CP's Michelle that's where we are going on holiday too

Legend sound like conner had a lovely first day bless him.

Rufus, If your dd has a sd memory card for a digital camer or mobile or something similar, you can get the card readers for £1 from poundland or online. If you have a dongle that may well have a usb storage too.

Best read up and see what I missed, hope you are all well

Oh bunbun, well done the giant cupcake sounds brilliant. How many bags of icing does it take to ice it?

Moomi - Hiya hun - that's the correct amount. $4.99 works out at about £3 odd for two purses. Aren't there some fab designs? I didn't know which ones to choose. That's probably why they took so long.

Bunbun - well done on the cake. Post a pic on your bl*g later, so I can drool.

Savvy - thanks for the info - Will amend the first post. I'm glad you're doing ok, sounds like the money making is coming along brilliantly. When are you off on Hols?

Cornish - well done on keeping up with the reviewing - you're doing wonderfully too.

You'll all need a rest, the way you've all been working hard. I'm having a break and taking it easy this week. I'm just doing what comes in my inbox.

HI all, sorry not been on, life is hectic right now, but will settle down again this week with the eldest being back at school.

Am back to money making, and almost at redeem all over the place so i think either the end of the month or next month will be good, which is great as it means i can finish my xmas shopping off.

off to prep tea, and make a banana bread with some ripe banana's I have

Caught the news about Viva. Not good for me really as I never get more than £20 in a good month.

Just been through several old survey network emails and managed to get 4 x 75p surveys. Not bad. Could be better.

I've added a suggestion plus review onto chow, and just copied a travel one onto DY this morning which has about 30 rates already. Best make this birthday cake in a minute and make a pie for tea at the same time to fill the oven up.

I really am so worn out again. I hope I find some energy from somewhere soon.

I just got £2 NV off Viva - there were actually five on there. I got screened out of two and the other one crashed. I hope you all do well.

I've just read the email from Viva too, came on here to check if anyone else had seen it. My mission is now to get to payout before they change it to £25 or it'll take me forever. I don't have time to go on there every day, sometimes it's only once a week, so if I don't get to the £10 soon I don't think I'll redeem before Christmas!!

Can I join the worn out club Michelle? I have had no energy this week. I know it's because I'm back at school now, but it's making me feel so pregnant! I know I am of course , but now I really 'feel' it! I have 34 in my class this year and they're exhausting me! I love it though and it's great fun getting to know new children .

My £10 voucher from McCains arrived. I wasn't expecting it to as I was still convinced those extra points were a mistake. Only problem is I ordered an HMV one and they've sent me a Leisure voucher. Not sure what to do about it though.

Thanks Elysia, I just checked and managed to do one on Viva and redeemed. Happy about that as it will pay for YD's photo book the end of the month.

I have had quite a good day really, I got my DY voucher this morning, and I had the MyS one as well so £25 there and also I sent back something I had bought from Amazon to see if we could mend my other computer but it didnt work and they emailed me today to say they are refunding me the money to my gift card balance so that will be another £14 to be added so it has brought my total back up again, means I have paid for the book I bought for YD's course using the refund money plus the MyS on this morning.

I did at least 4 surveys from T too today, nearly every sponsored poll I did went to a survey and I was getting through them all one after another.

Forgot to add, I also got a £5 Boots voucher for the mortgage survey from earlier in the year.
