    9 o'clock and there's already been more posts today than yesterday. :rotfl:

    Come on Cymru!!! There you go Legend (and Susan if you're around).

    Claire - hopefully you'll have lots of support now they know. Just remember, you're his Mum, you know best, and if things don't happen as quickly as they need to, you need to give them a push. ;)

    Michelle - I'll pm you in a minute.

    Don't forget it's free listing on ebay today.

    Ooh forgot to say - I got £14 on pf, but in that time I had only really written three reviews with E's, so I'm presuming, I got a £10 because ones a really high Exceptional, and 2 x £2's. Not bad.

    The five that have gone on in the last few days, have mainly been rushed to fit in with the promotion, so I don't mind.

    Well I am sat waiting patiently for my new cat!! Normally i'm running around cleaning on a saturday morning but all seems to be at a half decent level so not too bad, got a couple of things to list on ebay today or tomorrow when I can be bothered and just going to put a review on dy and chow.

    Well done everyone on the PF I won't get any next month as in all honesty I am simply writing reviews to fit in with the promotion and I think to write a really good review it has to be something you really want to write about.

    Oh yeah got a payout from quidco today so I have now well and truly made the £77.50 for october and will now head for £100

    Well done Chell - I'm pleased to hear it. :)

    Marshmallow cupcakes sound nice. What happens to the marshallow? Do they go on top or inside? I'm going to do some baking with DD's today.

    Wow - well done Emma - we're only half way into the month too. See - a little bit of motivation works wonders. That's why you need to keep posting. :)

    What's the new cat's name?

    Morning everyone.

    Just popping in to say hello and well done on all the money making going on. I will do what I can today but from how I'm feeling at the moment, that will be very little. I developed a stonking cold a couple of days ago and it has gone to my throat in a really painful way - it feels like I have razor blades in there! I didn't get much sleep last night, despite going to bed at 9pm, as I couldn't breathe :(. I'm going to pop to the pharmacy and see if there's any medicine I'm allowed to take for my throat, not hopeful though. It will probably just be hot drinks. I feel like a big moaning Minnie right now :o

    On a happier note, I had a message asking if I'd end one of my Ebay items early and sell for £5 (only listed for 99p) as it was needed for a birthday. They paid straight away so that was nice. I also have 5 things ending tomorrow - 3 have bids already and the other two have watchers so it's going pretty well. One of my items is an adults Halloween cloak. I was feeling hopeful after the success of DS's little outfit. The cloak has a few bids and 31 watchers :eek: so fingers crossed the price will bump up a bit more. Ebay is doing really well for me recently so I'm going to sort out a few more things to put on this weekend. I have to do it bit by bit, if I listed everything in one go I'd never have the time to parcel it all up!


    I have made the decision that I won't be going overboard on gifts for my son this Christmas. Last year I ended up buying things just so it looked like he had lots of presents and I'm not falling in to that trap again. I have been asking him what he would like for Christmas and his birthday, and everytime I ask him, his response is the same - "Nothing thanks, I've got enough toys."!!! I have finally convinced him that he'd like a few prezzies (mainly making sure he wants the ones I've already bought!) but I think I'll make the most of it while he's too young to be writing out a huge long list.
    Making money for Christmas 2012!
