Pablos - the bag sounds gorgeous. I hope you manage in time. I'm terrible for things like that. I think I have plenty of time, and next thing I know, it's tomorrow.

Chel - sorry to hear that about your illness. It must drive you crazy.

DD2 is exactly the same. Don't you find this age is really difficult? - they think they are too 'grown up' for toys, but are too young for other things. I refuse to get my daughter a phone untill she's at least 10, but her other friends have them. I've bought her the 3DS for her birthday - but she has two DS's and a DSi. For Christmas she has Lego - she's just got into it, and masses of craft stuff. She doesn't want dolls any more. It's getting really difficult to know what to buy.

Hi all

Have just caught up again Had a scare over the w/e with dad as his temp kept going up, 9 hours at hospital later they agreed to let him home with antibiotics.
DH picks up his new (to us) car today, he's told me I have to take my shoes off before I get in to stop it getting dirty :rotfl:
I've been really bad at keeping up with surveys recently, need to get back on track

Michelle - happy birthday to DS

Oh I have a 10 year old neice, I rely on craft stuff for presents as she loves that, plus books and a bit of make-up designed for kids - Boots have some and I saw some in Mr S today too

Sorry to hear about your dad Skiergirl. There's that many bugs about at the moment, and he's going to be low for a while. I hope the antibiotics work for him, and he feels better soon. How scary for you.

Dj - great start with your reviews hun. I liked the wii one. I've given you some tips on the perfume one - I hope you don't mind. If you go on the jlo website (or Boots) they will give you info about what it smells like there. Put it in your own words and Voila. LOL.

Stick at it - don't give up. I tend to post mine now - and come back the next day to loads of rates, because people know I ALWAYS rate back. It does get easier - like we were saying to Savvy this morning - it's one of those you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours things. People won't trust you at first, but they will. Keep it up hun.

I've earned £ 20 so far this month from reviews that we written for Dou and I've just pasted them into Chow - so it's not too much extra work. I haven't really bothered this month either - last month it was £50.

Hi all, work went good, think i will like the job but not the actual employers, they didn't bother to tell me I pay for my police check and it comes out of my first wage or that in a 7 hour shift we are expected to take 45 mins unpaid break which to me seems alot i'd be happy with 15 mins and I could end up finishing at 10pm and being back in for 8 which doesn't seem too bad but add to that half hour drive each way and 2 children to get ready on a morning and I am not looking forward to it.

Michelle - Happy Birthday to DS

Savvy - what is your name on C I looked for your name on here but nothing came up?

Gonna put children to bed soon, do tea and then onto some money making.

Hi Emma - I'm glad your day went well. I think it's the law about your breaks. You have to have 30 mins for lunch and 15 for a break. I could be wrong though. It's not fair that you pay for the CRB - That's about £60 isn't it?

I'll pm you Savvy's name.

Thanks for the message Elysia, savvy, djstar have rated your current ones for you and will keep checking when you add new - we all have to support each other!

I have managed £1.99 today and am going to call it a night, I am on lates tomorrow so I am hoping to get a couple of reviews written tomorrow before work and then i'm off to see lee evans on thursday so I won't be on for a couple of nights! Think the money making will go down hill a little working shifts but I am going to do the best I can at least I reached my initial target and less than £10 off what I really wanted to reach.

So cold here I am trying not to use extra heating and fire if I don't have to so I am wrapped in a blanket and going to take a hot water bottle to bed!! My eldest is always hot once she is in bed and my youngest never seems cold even though her bedroom does, here's hoping she sleeps tonight as she is full of cold and has been up in the night for about the last 5 nights and I could really do with sleep.

Evening everyone, been a horrid day in the end.

Dd has been very naughty all day and cheeky which wore quite thin by lunchtime but before we got to lunch she shut her finger in a door and screamed the house down, she ended up crying for a good hour or so poor thing and me a blubbering mess, shes fine now and apart from a bright red finger she hopefully will be fine. I don't deal with my daghter being that upset through pain very well

Had a few people mess me around with ebay sales today, not very impressed but what can you do. Perhaps I should just stick to ebay.

Also there is a flying spider which has taken to waiting until I let my guard down, charging at me with sprawled legs, me jumping half way across the room and retreating into a well camoflauged hiding spot. I would have made progress tonight if it wasn't for him lol.

Checked on chow and some lovely person has given me an E for my second review, hurray! no idea what it means but hurray!

eta - hubby has come home and removed the intruder lol

eta again - Thank you everyone who has rated my reviews, I haven't done too badly for rates today, I guess as you ladies say being new doesn't help but having no extra points for comments on my first review was a bit of a kick in the teeth as I wrote that one from scratch yesterday. I see the cashout threshold is £5 so much better than the other one xx

elysia2003

Oh Emma - You're doing really well with your challenge. Working shifts need not make a difference to your money making - you'll just be posting reviews and doing surveys at different times of day that's all. Keep going Emma. You CAN do it.

I really hope DD (and you) both get a good nights sleep. Take care. xxx


It's quiet here tonight - I hope everyone is ok.

Evening all

Well, I am on my own, hopefully YD is coming in tonight though. I have had a query from someone about doing a cushion for them so hope it might come off this time. Last time someone asked me to do one special for them they didnt bother buying it after all.

Nickybo - there are 4 more vids on Maxi xx
