    Foxy, I did a marathon wrapping session yesterday. Did an hours worth in the morning, then went up the town then started again in the afternoon after lunch and didnt finish until 7 last night. My feet were killing me as I can't wrap on our table as its too low and I get back ache so I use my ironing board so I was standing up all the time while wrapping. I finished off some more bits this morning, I now have all my family's presents done including YD and OH, I just have to wrap his family's up, which there isnt so many of them.
  • New SB code worth 7sb throat
  • Rufus and Foxy, well done on the wrapping. Need to crack on with ours but can't face it at the moment.

    Had a few little surveys today but nothing much, made about £1.50 so hit my target.

    Will try and list a few bits on ebay tomorrow to take advantage of the free listing weekend.

    Hope everyone else had a good day.
  • Emmad, elysia sent that list to me, will pm it over to you now.

  • Hi everyone hope your all doing well. Sadly no money making done, it's been all go to prepare for Christmas. Hubby went to dentist and they fixed his tooth which is great, one less worry before Christmas. We have been working our butts off to get the house deep cleaned. We have got quite far and have ben ticking jobs off the list. When I picked hubby up we went to get some decorations and have just finished stringing baubles (never knew they came unstringed!) and put the tree up whilst listening to Christmas tunes. Hubby was saying seeing how excited I was really cheered him up and now he's in a Christmas mood too :D

    Sorry Foxy I will have a look and pm you by the end of the night hun, I have been up to my eyeballs, I have chosen one item but really like to choose something they would love, it's not easy though I'm worried they may not like my choices, mind you I am like that with all my family too lol.

    Christmas wrapping carries on tomorrow so I can see how much everyone has etc, will have the stockings out too so I can see if there is enough/too much etc.

    I'm going to do some surveys before it's too late and finish up my secret santee pressie list xx

    Hi everyone.

    Thanks for passing the list over Boat girl, and thanks for the SB code too. Hopefully, I'll be able to redeem there tomorrow. :)

    Rufus - I get backache from wrapping too. I usually do it on the bed, but our new one is much lower. :( I'll have to give the ironing board a try. I hope DD's toe heals quickly.

    Foxy - you've done an excellent job playing santa. :) Well done on doing your wrapping too.

    Flycatchers - is there a referral incentive for that site? You could refer me if there is. :)

    Emmad - well done on your redeems/near redeems. You've done really well. You'll be neutral next year ;) You've done so much better since you've started joining in regularly haven't you? I love how we all help each other. :D

    DJ - I've sent the list to so many people this week, I've forgotten who now. Did I send it to you? If I did, how are you managing working down the list? I hope you find that you get many more surveys now.

    Chel - did the bike turn up? Wow that was a bargain. You couldn't say no to that! Brilliant. :) Thanks for telling us about the free listing weekend.

    Today - I've had £15 in paypal off Groupon, I've redeemed £25 off Viva (payable 30th Dec), and I've had £30 Am vouchers. I also won a prize on the comp board. :j:j:j It was delivered with no note or anything and I thought it was a product test at first. :rotfl::rotfl:
