Afternoon! Oh was off work for a few days holiday and of course my routine got completely knocked out, hardly did any surveys so now I'm behind..booo.Lovely for him to be off though!

Back to normal today, went through every survey I could find, only managed £1 which was on viva but thats better than nothing I guess! Also had payment for my ebay items yesterday £32 after fees (and the extra it cost in postage - stupid ebay rules...) so I'm very pleased with that!
Also managed to redeem £5 am voucher on mysurvey yesterday evening.
I bought Bil's christmas present today - red dwarf dvd game (found on the grabbit board) for £1 something. Went to pay and I had about 50p in my amazon account from a voucher I won last christmas, so his present only cost me 74p lolol. I think I'll get him something to go with it..I'm not that cheap!..well I might be haha

Ooh also finally received the first of the toys I won - a hello kitty ds game is now in my christmas box, just need the rest to arrive now!

Just a quick post, got to pick up DD in a mo.

Well done Pablos. I hope your wins come soon.

Well done Chel and Legend on your Pineys.

Rufus - you're on a roll. Well done hun. I rated every Chow one yesterday, I got carried away and rated one from 2007.

Michelle - Need to bleach my grouting too, and paint the ceiling in the bathroom, but that can be done when we decorate DD1's bedroom at half term. We also have tickets to the safari park, so I doubt I'll be around much during the day that week.

Right gotta go - Keep it up girls. You CAN do it.

Elysia - that made me laugh, one from 2007, bet it was utter carp lol. I have been sewing all day apart from cooking dinner so not been on here since I did the review this morning. need to get some rating done but T shopping due soon, not sure what time, OH said after three. I made myself another top, fabric cost me £2 so nice and cheap. I will get a photo later on for my blog. Also made a bag for ExMil as she keeps asking me to make her one when I go round there. She can have it for Christmas.

Hi all

I'm still keeping up (just lol), but feel like a hamster on a wheel at the mo, with hospital visits, ms ing, and life in general. DH finishes in 3 weeks and is busy cv writing.
Well done on all your reviews and redeems, I'm waiting for £20 of vouchers from surveys and £20 from match betting, plus had a couple of ebay sales at the w/e xx

Have a good day everyone - and Nicky let us know how you get on.

All my blood tests have come back normal so I'm pleased about that. Baby's heartbeat is great so that's fab and it's always lovely to hear it . I am now measuring bigger than my dates, quite a lot above the little line on the graph the midwife showed me. I knew I was having a big baby but even the midwife seemed surprise at how far above the 'normal' line I am measuring. She has said she will monitor it and if it's still a lot bigger than it should be next visit, she'll refer me back to the hospital for checking. Not sure what they'll check, maybe another scan? Also it will possibly be an induction early if the size is looking ridiculously big. An early induction has been mentioned throughout this pregnancy for various reasons, I think I'm destined to have the baby early - just in time for it's first Christmas
Also, I told her about the pain I'm in and she's referred me straight away to the physio at the hospital. I should get an appointment soon so hopefully that ill help somewhat. Although, I think having a giant baby is always going to be uncomfortable!


On the money making front, I listed 6 items on Ebay at the weekend. I found a Halloween cloak that DH had from a couple of years ago, it looks brand new so I popped that on after the success of DS's Halloween outfit. It already has 15 watchers so I have my fingers crossed now. 3 other items all have watchers so hopefully they'll sell too.

Other than that, I've done nothing as I've only been home for an hour! I'm going to do lots of rating on DooU and get another review added too. Ooh, I'll also check my various gadgets are on there and if not then I'll get them added since they are level 1 now.
I also really will check out Chow and see if I can move some reviews over. That is my 'must do' thing for tonight as I keep meaning to and forgetting.

You sound like you've got everything sorted Nicky, and I'm really pleased there's nothing to worry about at the moment. I really hope the physio works for you.

Rufus - I really wish I could make clothes. You make me so envious. I can barely sew a straight line, but I'm determined to have a go at making some things, maybe for Christmas, as I like to give little things I've made, and more personal, alongside the shop bought gifts.

Let's just say, I definately noticed the difference in the quality of the 2007 review to now I wondered what was going on.

Skiergirl - are you feeling swan like? Calm on the surface, but paddling to billy-oh underneath. I hope things settle down for you soon, and that OH finds a job quickly.

Todays totals:

Tolun@ 5,000 points and redeemed, £1.50 VO, 50p YG, 400 GOP, 15p OP, £1 viva, £1 MM, 84p DY, £4.70 tracked on TCB. plus two pr0duct t3sts.

I've qualified for f@ce wipes, Riben@ and T00thp@ste in the last two days.

Here the Paypal info guys

Simply keep the money you receive through selling with PayPal in your PayPal account and, rather than withdrawing your funds, use them to make purchases to the value of £30 or more before October 15 2011. We'll then refund the seller fees you accumulate between 15 September and 15 October up to the value of £10.
To qualify, you can make as many purchases as you like to make up the £30 but all purchases must be made using only the money you receive through PayPal from selling. Any funds that you transfer in to your PayPal account using your credit card, debit card or bank will not be eligible. You can make the purchases on eBay or any of the thousands of websites that accept PayPal.
If you qualify, you should expect to recieve your refunded fees in your PayPal account by 22 October 2011. Happy shopping!

I think I should get mine back as I made abround the 50 mark and have just spent 40 as I ordered 2 Wii remotes from Ebay!

Does anyone know the start date for this promo? Thanks

Evening all, Managed just over £3 today, don't see me keeping this up though i'm totally wrecked.

Oh is still waiting for his scan, he is in pain but has to work as like most people we just can't afford him to be on the sick, he isn't eating properly and the tablets make him snore which then means I can't sleep, I ended up in a singe bed with our 4 year old last night and then the youngest had me up and down so I don't think i got more than a hour solid all night.

We are both stressed as my police check isn't back for my new job yet which i'm supposed to start on monday and I leave my current job this thursday, there was a problem with mine and 2 other girls so it was delayed by a fortnight which the new place didn't bother to tell me as if they had I would have extended my notice.

Sorry girls rant over just getting really upset and he's being so nasty over it as if I don't try and provide for the family
