    Evening all, why is Peter Andre back in the Jungle?
    Got most of what I wanted to do done today, kids were happy as we got to a soft play centre for them as well!
    Ebay parcel posted - check!
    Asda suit returned - check!
    Phone cheque arrived and banked - check!
    Washing done - check!
    Shopping delivered and put away - check!
    School photos scanned ready for copying and originals on the wall - check!

    And we managed to sit and watch A Christmas Carol this afternoon as well!
    The Christmas channels start on Sky tomorrow!
    Kids are so excited about their advent calendars, our elf delivered them just before bed time and both of them are really happy with what they've got!

    At work tomorrow, so a less busy day for me lol!
    Friday, kids are off again on an inset day this time, and I've promised to take them to the cinema to see Arthur Christmas!
    Worked out only 3 more presents to buy, and will be able to get one of them on Friday!

    Wrote out my food shopping list this afternoon as well.

    24 sleeps to go :-)

    Happy 1st of December everyone :j. Ooooh, it's getting close now!!

    I have a free 15 minutes in school today due to various things. It's not enough time to do much in, so I'm going to take in my cards to the children and write them all in the comfort of the staffroom. I hope to get through them all without a TV to distract me!

    I hope everyone has a lovely 1st December xx

    Well done Stepmum, Its a good feeling isnt it, ever so lightly smug when you see all these other people having to queue for hours and running around trying to find presents in the crowds when we are all done and dusted.

    Happy December everyone, lets hope its a nice chilled out one that we can all enjoy.

  • Just a fly in visit to say check T I had my points jump from 40 000 to 79 000 over night and also recieved a voucher this morning in the post. We must be mad but we are moving into a new house in the next few weeks so not sure how much I will be on but I willbe lurking :) xxx
  • Had a good day yesterday - Uni was shut so went Christmas shopping with dad. Got most of my shopping finished and it didn't cost me much in real money as I had so many vouchers from my surveys :D

    Have got two bottles of drink to get now and that will be me finished completely - have tesco vouchers for that but sainsburys and asda are doing better spirit offers - will wait a few days to see if Tesco put on any deals.

    I got an email from VO yesterday saying that there weren't paying me for a survey I did as it failed quality control - have a nagging feeling I put something in wrong on it but I can't remember exactly. Will need to pay more attention :eek:

    Dear Ciao Users,

    We are running a special Christmas campaign this month and we would like our community members to be aware of the new rating system that they can benefit from until the 24th of December. For each positive rating we will double the amount of money you would normally get. Therefore, depending on the remuneration level (indicated by the number of £ signs next to the product name) you would be rewarded with: 0.1 pence (£), 0.2 pence (££) and 0.4 pence (£££) accordingly. Enjoy the reading and of course rate as much as you can.

    Your Ciao Team



    Happy 1st of December everyone xxxx
