    Well the cat has settled well, she came straight out of her box not nervous at all which is obviously great, she was curled up on the floor earlier and Emily was crawling about where she was and she couldn't care less. She has eaten a little but keep sitting on the windowsill looking outside so I think she is gonna try and get out given half a chance! Still got to introduce her to the dogs so that should be fun.

    Off to write soe reviews, have just looked at the l'oreal listings and was surprised to find the shamppos and kids stuff are 600 points on dy I thought it was just make up so well chuffed now will be able to get quite a few from that list.

    Well done Emma - yes it's all L'oreal. Pity I don't use it - I may have to see if I can find any cheap somewhere, so I can review it. I need some shampoo anyway. :) I'm glad Jett has settled in well.

    Well done Chel - I've got 14 things on so far - more to do tomorrow. You'll find they won't all pay at once, so you'll be going to the PO all week. :(

    I've had something good happen today - I bought something for DD2 off eb@y (brand new) but it was listed incorrectly. They refunded me in full and let me keep the item. :) I was quite happy with it, but they did it automatically without me asking. :D £27 made there, plus surveys and rates, plus a review.

    Well i'm very tired after Emily's performance last night (seems to be something different keeping me up every night) so i am going to do a little more reading whilst waiting for the hubby to bring me my chinese and then I will be off to bed.

    Todays total is £30.64 which is from T, DY, Chow and Quidco so I am thrilled with this and I also have a 600 point review ready for tomorrow and still have another 6-8 I can review.

    Hope everyone has had a good day xx

  • Hi all, sounds like everyone is doing fantastic this month! Excellent news on the ebay refund elysia!
    Just catching up today with what everyone is doing, been a busy week at work and to the cinema 3 times!
    Surveys today were good, 3 x viva, a few on SH, and m* surv*y. So well over the £2.50 today. Hadn't realised it was free listings weekend on ebay so will try to put a couple of bits on tomorrow. Got a capital bond voucher for £10 in the post today so very happy.

    Well done Wendy. Have you ever fancied writing reviews? You could rate the films you've seen. :) Did you see Footloose at all? What did you think?

    Emma - fab results hun. I hope you get a good night tonight. Kids - there's always something to keep you on your toes. We wouldn't be without them though would we? :)

    DD2 and I have been making Glow in the dark christmas decorations with Hama beads, during X Factor. Woohoo - Christmas is coming. :D

    I'm just off to check Grabbit, and then I'm off. Take care and goodnight everyone. xxx

  • Well done everyone, hope your all relaxing for the evening now as you have all been working so hard.

    Can I ask the advice of anyone with daughters around the age of 9 please? Hubby's neice is 9 this year but she loves the usual makeup, jewellery, the general things teens do. I won £100 to spend at a company called Maggie Angus but not sure what pieces of jewellery would appeal to her age range. If anyone could help the website is here http://www.maggieangus.com/categories/Maggie-Angus-Shop/

    Caught up with bits and bobs, having a tea to soothe my throat, try viva and off to bed soon after xfactor xx

    I can't sleep, so I'm back on here. :(

    DD's 9 in January - I think either the fruity stuff or the stars and moons Savvy. What a great win. Is there anything you've picked that you'd like for yourself?

    Well done Chel - I hope you have loads of success with your listings. Have you got any watchers yet? I'm terrible, I keep checking every two minutes.
