    Mooloo - you've make a good effort in the surveys. Don't worry about not doing as well as you'd hoped. You tried your best, and that's all anyone can hope for. Every penny you did earn, is one less you had to find isn't it? :)

    I'd love to see your shop, is it linked to your bl*g? Rufus will tell you - I love homemade stuff, and I've bought a few things off her. I still need a couple of bits for this Christmas, I might see something that takes my fancy.

    New years resolution - to set myself up one in January too. If you've had trouble setting it up, I'm bound to too. I'm not technical/computer minded at all. :(

    Hi Esmer - how's DD doing? I saw you post on grabbit yesterday. I was tempted to treat myself to it :) Thanks for popping in hun. How's things going with you? Any news? :)

    sparkleychel - Thanks for taking the time to explain how the M&S e-voucher works. Sounds simple and straightforward so I've taken the plunge and just ordered a voucher from Maxi.

    Claimed a voucher from RewardTV yesterday and used some money off vouchers when getting weekly shop.

    I've got to apologise - I read the posts from mine this morning down until Bunbuns and was typing a reply when I noticed it was time for school, and I couldn't have pressed send. It looks like I was ignoring you all until Esmer came on - I wasn't I promise.

    Well done on your redeem Michelle. It was OP I was asking how long it took. Last time I redeemed, this time last year, the payment never came through, and I had to ask for another one. The whole process took about eight - ten weeks, so I'm sure it has got to be less than that.

    Boat girl - please post the pics. I'd love to see. I hope you get some rest soon. These first few weeks are the worst - after that it becomes normal, I'm sorry to say. ;)

    Chel - did you order anything from Boots in the end? I sat for two hours putting stuff in, then taking it out of my basket. :) I'm glad to say I didn't in the end. My Toluny was from the 11th Oct too - have another look, it might have been processed this afternoon. I hope so for you. :)

    Stepmum - what bad news about your concert. You must be gutted. It's nice that you can still have a few child free hours. Enjoy it, - you deserve it. :)

    Bunbun - great idea for those boxes. I'll remember that for next year. Thanks for sharing. :) Well done on the fab TCB payment. :D

    Evening all, hope you are all well

    Sorry to hear about everyones child related problems, my 14 month old scremed for two and a half hours the other night I was exhausted, today i have found a white spot on her gum so the corner of one of her back teeth is through i'm dreading the rest following poor thing.

    I'm watching Diy sos and the guy they have gone to had posted on this site about being ripped off by a builder and he got nearly 3000 responses and from the friends he made here some put him forward to the programme and they sorted the house for him - show how friendly we all are.

    I have not been managing much, I have been doing the sponsored polls on T and playing a bit of bingo where I am not too far from redeem but other than that I don't seem to have had much time. I have cleaned the whole house today so am hoping I can do a review tomorrow haven't written one in weeks.

  • flycatchers how long have you been on piney
    i found the 1st year i only got 4-6 all year , but this year has been much better i've probably had 15-20
    but they are like buses, none for ages then 3 in a week lol

    Although I completed the invite I got on both occasions I never heard anymore so guess my profile did not fit in with what they were looking for!! :(

    hi Jan. If you click on a persons username, it will say go to homepage, and that is their blog. It's very addictive, you won't be making any money, you'll be spending it when you see all the lovely stuff they make, as you'll want a go too.

    Ginger/rhubarb I've got your pm, I'll have to reply later as I'm on my tablet at the moment and all the files are saved on my comp.

    How's everyone today? Anyone got anything nice planned? It's OH day off today so I'll not be around much till later.

    I hope you do lots of money making all, and save some grabbit bargains for me ;-)

    Morning Rufus - you beat me to it. I can't type very fast on this yet. :-)

    Morning all and Hi to Esmer, have missed you and your cakes xx

    Hi Mooloo as well, well done on getting the shop started xx

    We were waiting for YD to come in last night, getting ready for bed as OH is back to work today and he has early starts. Got a text message from YD's mate saying they thought she had broke her toe and could we come and get her. Luckily she was only down the road at the park. OH had been drinking so couldnt drive. Took her up A&E and she had broken it so she is now on crutches. Cost me nearly £20 in taxi fares to and from the hospital, luckily I had drawn out some money yesterday to get OH a few extra presents.
