elysia - the tree up already, has oh got a brother!!

Shouldn't laugh, just watching secret millionaire, and a woman brought lee Stafford some mince pies, on a paper plate..... had to laugh as it reminded me of an ex, he wouldn't use plates etc, everything had to be paper plates, bowls etc xx

Evening all, hubby has been ok today, his hand is still very sore but I have been doing it all today so he hasn't had to do anything. The house has never looked so tidy and clean. It's amazing when he does things he leaves a trail of destruction, I clean as I go along so when I'm done so is the cleaning. Went to nephews birthday party and there was loads of us squished into a small house, dd had lots of fun playing with the birthday boys toys bless them, she doesn't stay still for long so had to chase her most of the time.

Thanks for the reminder on S&S, just entered my toothfairy code too, think I'm going to sleep shortly i'm exhausted and have aother busy day tomorrow looking after the troops I just hope I have a chance to start my uni course, already a week behind

Pablos hun, where do you get your tulle from? Have seen a few sellers on ebay but wondering if I am missing a better deal?

Going to hit the hay, hope your all doing well I will catch up with you all tomorrow x

Night Savvy - and well done hun. You must be exhausted.

Mum2one - Lol. Well using paper plates saves the washing up. You can't blame him.

Hey everyone - Not been up to much today and not made much money either! Not had hardly any surveys and the ones I did have screened me out today, but never mind. I added up my numbers this morning and I have made £100.89 on surveys etc in my first month and that's without e-bay sales etc so I am very pleased.

Elysia - wow!!! Xmas tree and decs up already!!! We put ours up in the first weekend of December, but if it makes you happy and your family are cool with it then why not!

Oh no Savvy - sounds horrible! At least it was nothing too serious. I do not know what I would of done as I hate the sight of blood! Glad he's ok.

Hope everyone is ok and making lot's of pennies!

Savvy, hope DH goes on ok. xx

Savvy, sorry to hear about your OH, hope he feels better soon xx

I spent most of the day yesterday trying to work out how expensive it was going to cost to get our sofa re-covered. First working out was about £320, then I looked on Ebay and found a seller selling one of the fabrics the same as Dunelm Mill but cheaper so managed to get it down to £220, then later still we found another buyer on Ebay selling a different patterned fabric even cheaper. This one is an auction that finishes tonight so we have put a bid on and hope we win, it will save us even more if we do. I am really looking forward to having a go at this.

I had a few surveys this morning, all from T and from the sponsored polls. My C balance is over the fiver mark, its about £5.50 this morning and I have added another review. Its the last one I had to copy from DY but I might be able to do a few more before the bonus ends.

Elysia - lucky you having the tree up already. No one around here where we live have theirs up yet, we usually put ours up first weekend in December depending on when OH has his weekend off so might be end of November. We did get all the wrapping paper down from the loft yesterday morning so I can make a start on wrapping but OH needs to check again for some gift bags as we thought there was some more in the loft and only found 1 at the moment.

I know Chel - The board is getting busier now and it keeps chucking us off. DD proudly announced we had our tree up at school, at all we heard was groans off the other mums. :rotfl:

Rufus - wooo. I hope you win the listing. It's lovely that you'll have enough left over to get a new laptop. Hopefully getting it cheaper means you'll get a few extra pressies to open Christmas morning and not just that.

Surveys are quiet today. I think I'd best write a review - I'm getting bored.

ETA - send some surveys my way Chel. Well done on your redeem.

I forgot to add earlier that I updated my blog with some pics of my new jacket and bag I made from my first piece of Chinese fabric. I am really pleased with it and I might even be able to afford to buy myself the top to go under it in the week as I have heard they are having a bonus day or whatever they call in in Bon Marche this week with 30% off instore.

wow rufus very very nice
and what good taste your husband has, lovely fabrics
