    Morning all, no surveys to do this morning, but I have had an email from someone interested in one of my bags, wants to see if I would accept postal orders for it. I dont see a problem although I doubt she will be able to buy it through the shop as I think you have to check out through Paypal but will see what happens.

    Love the puppy Michelle xx
  • Good morning all, I'm a little less flu-ey today hurray! No time to be ill when your a mummy is there. Heading off to Tesco in the off chance I may find a hairdryer, does anyone want me to kep an eye out for anything whilst I am there?

    Well done on the job juliejim, hope you enjoy it :)

    Giggles sounds like you got a fab bargain there. I would love one but no room for card making stuff, it takes up much more space than you think when you get going.

    Oh dear, what's wrong with your scanner Elysia? Mine has been playing up for weeks, failing to submit barcodes, failing to reset and now it always says 0 barcodes sent. I spoke to them and they said they have been receiving my barcodes fine so I guess it must be a website glitch. Is that the same that has happened for you?

    Need to get to the post office, and check boots and t8sc0 for clearance bargains and back to finishing my ema later. Hopefully I can fit some money making in around that. Have a lovely day ladies x

    Elysia: Glad i got a bargain :D. Just need some where to store it now! I know, after my jam making, scrapping booking/card making purchases plus I already have jewellery making supplies and make cakes... not sure how I will have the time to do it all hahaha Need to start making some me time I think :D. I actuall do have a blog from when I was making jewellery more often, not been on it for a very long time tho! Maybe I will ressurrect it and show off all my makes.

    Wellldone on the job JulieJim - sounds perfect as like you said it fits in with your children. Its not easy to find jobs like that so massive congratulations! When is it you start?

    RufusDog - its good that someone is so interested that they have taken the effort to email you, your stuff is gorgeous though so thats no surprise :D

    Im off to put in my cheque from music magpie that arrived over the weekend, Just under £10 for some cds I no longer wanted and didnt sell at a car boot so Im happy with that. Bump up the christmas money pot a little.

    Morning guys.

    Beautiful again here, and I have a great feeling about the week. Pup has not been too much hard work. He got in bed himself in the puppy carrier about 11ish, and when I got up at 7 I stuck him straight out to do his business.

    He cried quite a lot yesterday evening, but was fine once he was in bed. He had quite a mad run round already, and is now asleep under my chair so no disruption at all to my routine.

    Kids are at school even though littlest is still loaded with cold. And I don't have to pick him up till 11:45 today, so an extra hour to get on should be great.

    So, let the money making commence. Have a good one everyone.

    Thanks Samba - who said the codes not allowed? We aren't allowed to post them on the grabbit board, but it should be fine here. ;)

    Have done T, and rated on DoU, have just checked maximiles - I've not been on there for at least 6 months. I thought it was only about 2,000 to redeem on there but it's 3,000. I only have 1,000 so I'm a fair way off. I've been on the chip one too. There's a new comp if you 'like' them on FB - have a go, you never know you may be lucky. :)

    Juliejim - well done on your job. It's great that it fits in with the kids.

    Savvy - it says something like error 2, I can't get it to do anything. I need to ring them, but I've put my folder in a 'safe place' and now can't find it. I don't know my membership number without it.

    I'm glad you had a good night with pup Michelle. How did you do with the chacha promotion over the weekend?

    Hi Elysia, someone called Bodacious said

    From the rules of MSE:

    Codes and discussions that aren't currently permitted, and which are removed when reported include: Sainsbury's, La Redoute and Vertbaudet discount codes." :o

    I'll be on line for another 15 mins so I could reply to PM's maybe ;)

    Elysia I get error 2 as well hun, that is their website playing up. They told me, disconnect your clicker and reconnect then submit again, keep disconnecting and reconnecting and submitting until it resets correctly.

    Samba you can post codes here just not on the grabbit board for legal reasons. Oh didn't realise that verdbaudet and la redoute didn't allow them, I know Next codes aren't allowed at all though.

    Your pup is so cute michelle, I would get one myself if I didn't remember how difficult it is with a puppy, nevermind with a toddler. Glad to hear he settled well in the end.
