Oh it's today - for some reason I thought it was yesterday. You have a good weekend too Rufus. Take care, and don't do too much.

Morning everyone, Just a quick post to say I'm still here! Got to go on the nursery run soon. Really sorry I haven't managed to catch up will try today but got another hectic day.

Hope everyone is ok

Any important news to fill me in on?

Nothing much - Viva has changed to payout at £25 but that's it. You haven't missed much. I'm glad you're ok.

Well Connor was funny going to school yesterday! I tput his bag on his peg and he gave me a kiss and I said "I love you!" He replied "OK you love me!" Then ran into class!!! All the other parents laughed! Then when I went to pick him up 1 teacher at the door called for him and I could see through the window the other teacher chasing him round the room because he didnt want to leave!!! What a boy!

Off to see whats happening on the survey front now and then it be time to feed him and take him to school! May have a gander in Tesco and get more free jelly and custard! See you in a bit ladies!

LOL Aren't kids funny? Off to T for free jelly and custard too. I just hope no-one's cleared my store out.

Hiya Elysia,

all well in mambaland. Keep saying that I won't log in as I won't be on the computer for long, then end up roaming 10 different threads & other sites& not posting & hours have passed by :eek:.

Ebay is the main thing here, managed to raise £180 holiday funds in 3 weeks so was well chuffed but really haven't the patience for any survey longer than 5 mins at the mo.

Glad to hear about people getting Mcains vouchers as sent off for 2 sets of those (crazy how those points suddenly mount up). Twins will be in nursery soon & then can get stuck in as would like to dejunk (amazing how stuff that has been under the bed for 6 months nis suddenly their favourite toy) & get crafting again.

Hugs to all as making ham samidge time

Michelle I hope you have a fab weekend away!
Mooloo - Glad to hear you had a nice holiday
Rufus - Hope you have a nice weekend
Samba - I know what you mean about the favourite toy thing, I have a box of old toys for ebay but before I have a chance to put them on DD ALWAYS finds it!!

Afternoon all. Had a busy morning, been down to the soft play place to pick up our annual membership, even if we only go once a month it still works out cheaper, but they are putting the prices up on Sunday so we had to get there quick. So much nicer going when the big kids are back at school, DD enjoys it more too. Did the dreaded Asda run on the way back, absolutly packed!!

We have had awful thunder and lightening the last hour or so, a couple of times the whole house shook because of the thunder :eek:

I'm on 6/15 reviews now, going to take a couple days off from writing and get back to it next week. Surveys have been quiet here again today, hopefully viva is good later!

Hi
I'm still around, managing to read but not post. I'm away from this afternoon til tues - going to the MIL as we haven't been for ages. Not looking forward to 5 hours drive later
My dad starts his chemo next week, so my diary is rapidly filling with hospital appointments for him.
On the money making front, I sold my first book on Am this week for £20 - one DH was going to send to the charity shop. I've also got bids on two things on ebay and watchers on three things
Hope you all have a good weekend xx

:j Got to payout on dy went for the £50 cheque. So pleased. :j

Also managed a redeem on viva yesterday.

Really struggling to get back into reviewing. Hows it going for everyone else. Maybe seeing you all do so well may push me on a bit.

elysia2003

Sam - good to see you. I know what you mean, I get distracted too. DD's the same with old toys, and she's nearly 9. I've been ebaying too - only one bid so far, but have a couple more days to run.

Chick - Hiya hun. You're doing well. Have the weekend off - and back to it Monday. Do you hear? I'm be chasing you else.

Skiergirl - I hope you have a good weekend. We'll all be thinking of your Dad next week. If you get a chance, let us know how he's getting on. You take care, and have a safe journey.

Claire - I'm know, it's hard to find the motivation once you redeem. I have five product suggestions added but not done one review all week. I challenge you get add some suggestions to DooU over the weekend, and we'll start writing again Monday. (my excuse is, it's OH weekend off). Ok ? We'll do it together. I'm on £6.50 or there abouts on DoU and £4.50 on Chow. Not good enough really - I want to redeem again before Christmas, so I'd best pull my finger out.

ETA: legend - they have the touchpad available again - 16 gb touchpad, charger, and case for £199. If there's any when I get back from school I'm getting one. If there are none - it wasn't meant to be.
