  • I'm dead on my feet pretty much Rufus. I'm going to do as little as I can and then get to bed.

    I just got the washing machine on ebay anyway. I've been promising to list it on the next free listing weekend for ages, and I have had it sat in my garage since August. It will be nice to get rid of it if I can.

    Ironing next. I'm just going to do kids school stuff, and DH can wash up the mess from cooking as it is mostly stuff for him and the kids to eat.

    I've got to be on form tomorrow to go shopping for last bits for DS1s birthday on Tuesday, and I only get a little bit of time to do it while DS2 is at nursery.

    So next job while at the computer is to check when meadowhall opens. No point rushin over if it opens at 10.

    Night from me anyway, and I shall see you all tomorrow.

    sorry I've not been around for a while. not sure where the days are going although taking the dog for two walks a day takes up quite a bit of time. I am so tired at the moment too and am in bed by 9 at the latest. I watch the TV but usually fall asleep. I am going to the doctor's on Tuesday to see if I still have a vitamin D difficiency and if that is causing the tiredness. I was up at 5.30 this morning which didn't help - ds1 has gone on his school trip to France. he has sent a few texts and the school upload a blog every evening. they look like they are having fun.

    anyway enough of my moaning. see you all tomorrow.

    Managed £3.39 today so not too bad but that's because I have posted 2 L'oreal reviews and I have another ready for the morning! Last day tomorrow before I start my new job and I don't know what hours i'm doing so I am planning on getting a store of reviews tomorrow hopefully although I do have some running round to do too.

    Hope you are all doing well haven't had chance to read back through some of today but will catch up tomorrow - night all

    Morning all

    Good luck with the new job tomorrow Emma xx

    I have added another review to C this morning, I was first to review it so I think I get a little bit extra for doing that, not sure. My account has gone up by 37p since yesterday morning and my DY account has gone up by £1.20. I couldn't copy the new review onto there as its not on there yet so have put it in as a suggestion. At least it will be ready if they do add it.

    No surveys in my inbox this morning but then I didn't think there would be, not on a Monday morning. I have done the normal bits on SB this morning, its going slow this time, I am not getting any codes and can't be bothered doing the games so just have the 6 points a day from the tv, noso and poll to add on.

    Might not get back on until this afternoon as we have to take the car over to my Dad's and get the train back. I hate travelling by train so not looking forward to it. Mainly because I have trouble getting off and on at our station due to the big gaps.

    Hope you all have a nice day xx
  • bunbun - have you had your iron tested? I felt awful when mine was (very) low, amazing how much better I feel after tablets!

    Nickybo - thanks for mentioning superdrug, ordered a few bits for OH's christmas stocking, should only need some sweets and I'm crocheting him an angry bird as a jokey stocking filler then that should be full! just need to sort the actual proper presents now haha

    £8 away from redeem on viva, hopefully get that by the end of next month anyway! ips havent sent me any for a while - I'm sooo close, its very frustrating!
    I've been neglecting my comping the last week or so, so I'm going to catch up a bit on that today.
    OOh also I'll try and find some batteries for the camera and take pics of my decorations and stick them on my blog later (my blog is rubbish, I just use it to show my sister what I've made so dont laugh haha)
    Have a good day everyone!

    Well I saw someone somewhere pos about making snowflake decs and now am hooked on looking at all the different beads on ebay! Lovely little star ones silver and teal to match my room! Problem is I don't know what I am doing I just want al, the pretty beads! Lol I saw somewhere about threading beads onto pipe cleanerx to make snowflakes so may give it a go! I have a slight star obsession see!

    Legend there are star shaped wires you can get on ebay, and thread your own beads however you like. You can either bend the ends back to stop the beads falling off or glue another bead on the end. ;) Have a go - but I have a warning, it gets addictive. :)

    Pablos - I just had a quick look at your blog. You have some lovely stuff. It wouldn't let me comment but I'm now a follower. :)

    Rufus - you take care hun. I'm not keen on getting on or off trains either. Well done on the reviews.

    I wrote a review yesterday and thought I saved it, closed the tab and it's gone. Grrrr. I was writing another one at 2am this morning, and have posted that instead. Hopefully, I'll do another one later.

    Savvy - excellent review hun. You just need to format it (with bold headings) and you're on the way to lots of E's. You have a message on Chow how to do it. :) I hope it helps.
