Pablos - It's A BOY!!! Congrats hun.
How lovely to win a freebie but isn't it always just the way!

Emma - you must be run down too. Get some early nights if you can. It'll do you the world of good.

Michelle - you get some early nights too. Mind you I can talk, I had my computer on until past 1, and up before 7.

I really hope your mum finds new homes for them. Have you asked people at school?

Legend - I only logged in and did a couple of discussions. Made it look like I made an effort.

Still having trouble with S&S so I need to ring them up and get it sorted.

Just popped on to say watch your emails off Paypal. Once I had lots of ebaying to do, and Paypal wanted me to verify my account as from not being used, all of a sudden it was used again.

Today I got another email and thought nothing of it, it said it needed to be done as my account was frozen. I still have people to pay, so I logged in, and it was asking me to verify my credit card and names, addresses and everything. Alarm bells rang, and noticed there was no padlock in the corner. I've had to log in to the correct paypal and I've changed my password, but not sure what I should do know.

I don't want this to happen to anyone else, so just be careful!

Good morning all, all go here this mroning, kids off to school, my cats were picked up, i had to rehome them as my eldest has alergies and it has escalated into Asthma, and the cats were a major trigger, we have managed the past few years but it has got to the point where they cant go upstairs and have to spend a large amout of time out doors, which is not fair to them, but I found a lovely home for them through a cat rehoming website as no shelters or the RSPCA could help me as they are so over run. So I was very lucky to find someone and to have them go to a lovely home, but now my house feels so empty, it is going to take some getting used to.

we will be getting chickens in the spring, so the kids are busy researching that and it has taken the edge off the kitties having to go.

Am sat in now waiting for an exhange on my cooker, it was delivered with a huge dent down the side, have used it though and the black coating is peeling on the top, have checked the handbook about the pans to use on the hob, but it just says heavy based pans, so it loosk like it is the cooker not the pans, as none are scratched, I hope the replacement does not do this
I am hoping they turn up soon as i have to run out to pay a tax refund into the bank, they have messed up again and still did not get this right, so they are having to investigate further as they own me more money

Pablos - congrats on it beign a boy, i had to have 3 scans too to find out what my youngest was, she had tucked herslef up into a ball in right at the bottom, and no prodding or poking would help , even the final scan was a bit hit or miss. So glad i found out though it helped with the bonding proess for me as things in my relationship were dire.

Michelle - wow it is so good of yoru mum to give you the pup , i bet you cant wait, and the boys too.

Elysia, give them a call, I was lucky when £1500 was taken out of my acount, as my bank were quick in cancelling direct debits etc, so it never went out. Paypal were a pile of poo though.

managed 1 Ipsos this morning, almost at payout at survey net so need to crack onwith those this morning and that will be another £20 towards xmas

Busy day so far - have just posted most of my eby stuff. Two no payers so far, and one from over a fortnight ago.

I have had some good news though. I bought something off T, and when it came it was the totally wrong thing due a mistake on their website. I got a full refund, plus a replacement, plus extra's to compensate for the trouble. Woohoo. If complaining does this for you, I'm going to become a right old moaner :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I never complain about anything, I just get on with it - never again!

Well not much luck on surveys today, managed a prize draw one on ips anyway, only 1-2 more surveys on there and I can redeem! Nearly got through a 10,000 point on t! but it got screened out of 3/4s way through which was very VERY ANNOYING, I was starting to get excited at the thought of the points lol.

Well the makeup wins keep rolling in, just had another email saying I've won a mascara! at least I'll be well stocked up! and my win from earlier turns out to be a goody bag of makeup! I thought it would just be one thing! I'll keep what I want and then probably share the rest between my sil and mil. I'm doing quite well with my comping at the moment, and its all stuff that will save me money!

Rufus - hope your fil recovers quickly x

Pablos - YAY , get that blue wool bought

Emma - hope the scan finds the problem x

I sold 4/7 things on ebay, and not for as much as I'd hoped. Two have paid and been posted already :j

DH rang earlier and said he'll prob be made redundant in the next 2 weeks :eek: I've told him I'll get started on a list of house jobs for him :rotfl:

Congratulations hon. I am glad you got to find out. I would not be without my boys. Pains in the bum, but so loving all the time.

congratulations from me as well, when I was expecting Miss Hoodie, I wanted to know but sods law at 20week scan she was back facing as if to say no looking, then went 3 weeks later, the doc said she's ok... so was plzed, apparently our hospital they charge £50 to look! xx

Excuse me while I collapse in a heap in the corner. I went out to trim the grass, one job lead to another, and three hours later, I've just come in. Skiergirl when OH has done all your jobs, send him around here.

I am so going to ache tomorrow. On the plus side, I've had a couple of surveys today - not many but with my running around this morning, and sorting the garden out front this afternoon, I couldn't have coped with anything else.

pinkerton_angel

ah what a friendly thread this is! Thanks all for the lovely welcomes.
Elysia - yes please could you email me the s/s, do I need to pm you my email?
ah NickyBo - congrats we are about a week apart then, I will watch your progress with interest ) I'm so excited (but don't you just worry constantly!!)
Looking forward to getting to know you all better

Pinky - Please pm me your email, but I'm not sure if the spreadsheet is still on my comp.

I've had terrible trouble and lost lots of my stuff off my computer. If I can find it, I'll gladly email it you. If I can't, I'll get DD to make a new one, but it might take a few days as she's back at Uni now.

How's bump doing?
