michelle he is gorgeous! I made OH sleep downstairs with the puppy for the first few nights:rotfl: it was the school holidays though so he didn 't have to go to work the next day.

I only watched bits of x factor will watch the rest tomorrow

I think DH might be the softie here too. To say he didn't want him, he has done plenty with him tonight.

I'm not sharing my bed.

I haven't watched x factor in years. More of a strictly girl myself.

I didn't see her this evening. I bet Louis put her through cos she is contraversial. I heard that the chinese woman pulls out of the live shows

Right here it is again, totals for today, ips - £1.80, T - £0.36, DY - £1.10, Chow - £1.11, SN - £0.75, total for today - £5.12 so up to £20.81 in 2 days however sure it will go downhill over the next four days as I am at work all day so don't get so much time for surveys, reviews etc. Was kicked out of a VO too which was a shame cause I reckon i'm up to £7 on there at the mo, got a review ready for tomorrow and have posted 2 today so 3/15 woo hoo, I love a challenge.

Michelle - pup looks so cute, we use to let ours (2 staffies) sleep on our bed but once our eldest got old enough to come into our room herself we put a stop to it as we were scared of accidents if she gave them a fright.

Well done Emma - Keep coming on here, and having a challenge is certainly working for you.

Bunbun - Yes Kitty is the pysco woman. The chinese one did pull out - afraid of being laughed at. I wonder why??? :rotfl:

Michelle - Strictly? I watch them all, Dancing on Ice, I'm a Celebrity, BB, all except that one.

Legend - I know what you mean. I'm sure my OH was a woman in a previous life.

Oh NOooo - I'm addicted to ebay again. Every five minutes I'm there checking how my listings are doing. :eek:

well ladies not found time to list my ebay... again! As I ended up going to a guys house and buying a huge pile of card making things. I have never made cards or done scrapbooking but have wanted to do it for a while, but finding the time and money has delayed me. My friend went to a car boot this morning and a man was selling some things and mentioned he had lots of craft supplies to sell at home which were his late wifes and gave her his number. So we went round this evening and it was a box room literally piled high with boxes and drawers and mostly card making/scrapbooking supplies. My friend has been doing ti for around 2 years so she had first pick of the machines and got the big shot, I got the old original sizzix machine and the side kick.

Overall I got
original sizzix machine (sadly as it was so over-whelming I forgot to get any dies to do on it! haha but my friend got quite afew so I could always lend hers and he had lots left over)
sizzix sidekick with probably over 50 things to cut on it
pile of card
pile of assorted stickers and rub ons
huge pile (probably over 200) of silver letter stickers and numbers
3 sissors that cut different edges
Penknife for cutting
small guilatine (sp)
about 6 of those little punches that punch a shape
About 20 mini punches
A hammer and some sizzix things that you hit with the hammer and they punch out
Some paper letters

I paid £30. Any of your ladies make cards and can tell me if thats good? Ive no idea, it sounded good to me!
And the guy, bless him, said that he wont tell anyone else now he will leave it for us to go back as many times as we want whenever to go through it and see if there is anything we want to buy.

So just money spending today for me hahaha

Sounds like you got a huge bargain Giggles. All the money you've spent lately on Jam Making and Card making - you need to get a blog now, so we can see what you make.

Once you start cardmaking, it gets addictive. People think it's a cheap way of getting a card, to make it yourself, but it's not. Often mine have come to two, even three times what I would have paid in a shop. It's more personal though, and it's fun to do

I'm off now - night ladies (and gents)

Morning All

Thanks for all the congrats - I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't been on all weekend as I've been trying to get some jobs done before I start work. I have put my treadmill on netmums though as it hasn't been used for ages - unfortunately when I tried it yesterday a battery had corroded inside so the screen won't work any more so I've had to list it quite cheaply. I'm going to try and get some surveys done today as I have a few in my inbox but I haven't got round to them over the weekend. I'll join in the challenge but not sure how I'll do but I've definitely saved over £5 at the weekend using coupons and such in Mr T so hopefully that will count. I've also done S&S. Elyssia - have you told them your scanner's not working?

Juliejim - congratulations on the new job! What will you be doing?

Julie Jim - wow, that's fab news on the job hun. What are you doing? Is it full time? Please keep popping in, we love to hear how you are getting on - I know you'll be busy though.

I'm a teaching assistant - it's 25 hours which is pretty much full time for a school but it means I'll be able to drop my 2 off at Breakfast club and pick them up after school so no childcare costs.

Anyway, enough of me waffling.

Have a good day all
