Claros - I use Wilko's pillows too. Just do that - it's cheaper.

Chel - how's the money making going? Are you ok with everything?

Boat - thanks for the code, and well done on getting your shopping done.

Bunbun - TCB and Vista are great. A couple of times I've ordered stuff on vista without going through TCB because it hikes up the price. Then I've gone on TCB and opened up the Vista link, and left it open for a while. In a couple of days put in a claim that it hasn't tracked. They have always paid out.

Michelle - I've got the link and signed up. Thanks Hun.

I'm off for an early night. We're dropping DD off at school, and then off to Leicester for the day.

Oohh while I remember, OH bought my Secret Santa pressie today. You ought to have seen him, it was like he was on a mission for James Bond. He wouldn't use my Boots card either incase I saw how many points I got - so he nicked my points for himself. It's all wrapped and under the tree, so thank you to whoever it was.

elysia2003

Ohh - I know what you mean. Me too.

You'll be able to use the spreadsheet and keep track properly next year In a couple of weeks I'll start emailing it people, before the January rush starts, and also you can add your sites and everything, all ready for the off.

A very productive weekend, had a tutorial Sat at wolverhampton, nearly dozed off, not from boredom, but the tablets I need my 40 winks!!

Sunday we did another craft fair, it was quiet, bt we made £17 after paying for the tables, (£20 as we had 2), can't complain, and the best bit we won a raffle prize - a stall that sold cupcakes and had this big one made like an xmas tree, demo one - raffle prize £1 per ticket, and pre-order one for xmas at £25, we won it!!
it was lush... were extra nice and gave 2 pieces to the lady opposiate, she jas a very sweet tooth,

Not much this week, got OU assisgnment to write,... never ending, but be worth it.

Also got my Yougov chq ordered, and £21 cashback from topcashback, hopefully that be weaving way to my bank soon. Sort out the dreaded car ins for the weekend.... xx

Morning all, Not sure what we are doing today yet, OH cant decide. YD is attempting to go to her work placement this morning at the school over the road, but she isnt sure they will let her stay while on crutches. She is supposed to be doing a two week block there from yesterday.

Checked T this morning but nothing new on there, wasnt much on there yesterday either.

I would love to win just one of the prizes Savvy won lol, I did a few comps last month but forget about doing them everyday.

Morning everyone.

Well done Mum2one - were you at Wolverhampton Uni? That's where DD1 goes.

Just to make you laugh, and tell you how bad my cooking is - last night DD was eating her tea, and complained that she'd got some hard bits. She sat there chopping it up into minute little portions after that. When she'd finished, she noticed she'd only gone and swallowed a wobbly tooth. To top it all, I forgot to put money under her pillow. Quick recovery, I told her it must have been because she wasn't smiling in her dreams. I quickly got some money, and stripped off the bedcovers for the wash, where I miracously 'found' the money. Phew. That was close.

Morning everyone
Mum2One, well done on your craft fair, I did one at the weekend unfortunately it was very quiet but I did manage to sell one of my new pamper cakes and gave out loads of cards to people who did seem to be interested. My aim for today is to get my website up to date with all my pamper cakes and then hopefully can start selling them!
