Ginger - I just checked I had you on my DY friends but not on C so I have added you on there. I am harveyd!!!2 on that one.

Got a good diary to do this week, something from T I think.

The cushion covers worked out too small yesterday, so glad I didnt use the expensive fabric. Going to make some bigger practice ones this morning until I get them right. I have some more parcels to arrive, I am hoping they come today. I have had to leave our front door open slightly as its getting stuck with the damp weather and I couldnt open it at all yesterday. Dont want the parcel man knocking and I cant open the door. OH will have to have a look at it when he gets up.

Money making will be taking a back seat for a week or so while I try to get everything sorted out. Its going to take a good week or more to do this sofa plus we are going to paint and do some other bits. I really want it done by end of the month ready for the tree and decs to come out.

Hi Chel


Well ladies, not too good a weekend for me as it's been quite busy in work - how rude!

I've done a couple of surveys, including one today. I've been trying to get registered for the S&S but I can't find where to do it!

On a plus note, I managed to get a load more of my old craft stuff on Ebay. I've still got tons to get on there, but just wanted to bring the small portable stuff to work with me for the photographs and stuff (don't think they'd appreciate me dragging my wardrobe and book collection into the office).

I've remembered the daily giveaway on Quidco the last 2 days (gotta be in it to win it) so remember that everyone. I've also found Tangled on Play.com for £5.99 so have got that (with Quidco cashback) for my SIL as part of her Christmas present - just need to find some mega cheap Eeyore PJ's and she's pretty much done (yes its all Disney, but she is only 20 and loves it!). I've picked a gorgeous Avon makeup set for Mum for £10, so she'll only need a couple more bits and she's done for Crimbo too - just need to work out what to get the others and where the money's coming from !

So much to get done at home, but I'm determined to still try and do as much cashback stuff as possible - we'll see what happens though!

Finally found a dress for my birthday - but it's £69 from Lipsy and I can't justify that much cash at the minute so slightly depressing!

How's everyone else today ?

Thanks Chel, Tabi is getting on really well. The midwives have just been for her 10 day check and her weight is now above her brth weight and they have said she is thriving, my wound is healing well so they have discharged us from midwives care.

Seem to be quite a few surveys on op again, have already earnt 75p this morning from there.

Elysia, that is great about the bingo win's. I signed up to Gala last night, if you deposit £10, they give you £20.60 on tcb, then they also give a further £20 to play with. Didn't win anything unfortunately but still £10.60 up

There you go Boat girl. There was always the chance that you might. That's exactly how I did it. I'm glad you're both signed off the midwife now - freedom at last, instead of having to wait in, that's the worst bit I think.

Gill - Well done on the ebay listing. That's some job you have that lets you do that in the office. My DD is 20, she's all disney too.

Rufus - we know that you're busy hun. Just do your best, and try and pop in when you can.

Well done Chel - you're going great guns.

Rhubarb - congrats on the new job hun. I'm glad you're doing well. It might take a little longer, but you'll get there.

Sorry been awol this morning. I've been asked to do a little voluntary job on Monday mornings, so I've been there.

Annoyingly I'm still 10p off OP, so everyone pray for a survey I can do so I can redeem. This is dragging on too long now. I probably won't get it for Christmas, but it'll be just in time for the sales.

:j:j:j I did it - YAY! :j:j:j

Sorry - that seems to have taken a long time. I redeemed last November.

Well done Elysia xx

I had good intentions this morning to get on with things but I came on here to check things and one of my cousins who I havent heard from since 1989 messaged me on Facebook and we have been catching up for hours. OH is up now so I better get on with something.

Hi ladies and lurkers

Sorry Elysia MB ing is m@tchbetting - I haven't done any for a while, so it was good to get back into it.

Sorry I can't stay on, have got a headache and still feel rubishy from the cold xx

That's great Elysia, so it's taken a year to redeem, is that typical for op. I seem to be flying along with it, most weekdays am getting at least £1, am wondering if that will dry up the nearer I get to £40.

Chel she was a very healthy 8 pounds 10.5 oz but dropped down to 8 pounds 2, she is now 8 pounds 12 so very pleased. We just made a little mii for her on wii so we can track her weight, it has a little baby setting so she is in a baby grow crawling around the adults, it was very close to the midwives weight as well so that is good.
