Michelle - I'm glad it's just small. I agree with what you say - some people become maniacs this time of year. They are all self, and don't care about others.

I've just downloaded a program off Norton called Power Eraser (never heard of it before) but that has found nothing too. Definitely a re-instal jobbie now.

Blimey - How are you managing to do Chow and Cha, and surveys and mind the kids? I've been at chow all day, as I've had not one survey, and I've had enough already. I'm quite pleased though - I've added three products suggestions, two new reviews, and re-written a third, plus rating. I just need to keep the momentum going. We CAN do it.

Savvy, Elysia - Yeah it is very cheap, worked out to just under 1k and for a 1.4 engine size I thought I got a bargain Waiting for £60 cashback from that aswell, so bonus!

I hope you can sort the computers out ladies, I'm really not all the technical so I'd be useless!

I've just had a text saying that my product test has just been sent and I shall be recieving it shortly, first product test I've ever done... didn't realize they would send me a text when I put my mobile number in the home phone bit, spooked me abit lol!

ETA - Missed Michelles post! What a pain in the backside about the door! well done on the 2 crowns!

Lol Cornish - they do sometimes. I've even had phonecalls. What are you getting?

I underestimated DD's as she paid in lump sum - she's being saving since birth bless her - I'm a horrible mum and made her. DD's was £2,000 for a Ford Ka, so you got a brilliant deal - well done on the cashback too.

Some moisturiser, can't remember what survey site it came from now, I've done loads where they said they might send you something to test but this is the first time anything has ever came from it.

I had the deposit for my insurance for my christmas present, mum said shes gonna nick the car off me and wrap it up so I've still got something to open :rotfl:

I HAVE A CROWN woohooooooooooooooooooo :j:j:j


My first ever one lol I'm not very good at writing reviews do try hard but just useless at it so very supprised one i rushed through on the weekend too but still very happy

On the other hand C added my product suggestions but they did it all at once so hardly got any rates nut never mind already up to £23 today and with the 5 they added this morning be a nice jump again tomorrow.

No surveys today at all and nothing much going on just tryin g to pack up last bits. We were moving tomorrow but as I work online we sorted bt 2 weeks ago untill they phoned today and said they want 250 :eek::eek: deposit when I asked why they had no clue as there is already a bt line there just needs transfering over so now looking for somewhere else but as it is rural it looks unlikely:(.

Well done Mum2three. I bet it was a very well deserved crown too. Can you find me on DooU, and add me? I'll rate you reviews then too.

I hope the move goes well. What a time to have internet troubles. They always do that at the last minute don't they? If you had known earlier something could have been sorted.

Evening all, bit of a rubbish day here - been to docs about a couple of things and she was worse than useless then I realised while I was there my injection was due on friday so had to get a rush appt but had to come home and then go back an hour later and then she said she would do little ladies booster so I waited even longer good that its out the way though.

The dog fell down the stairs this morning trying to race her brother down I think and she is limping on both left legs bless her, we are trying to get her to rest bt have you ever tried getting a staffie to rest it is not easy.

The laptop is playing up looks like the screens about knackered, we got it with a fone contract so now we have to take it into carphone warhouse tomorrow for them to send it off lunkily I have an old laptop but it is very slow so i won't be getting much done over the next couple of weeks.

Have posted 3 reviews on chow today and still have 9 to go on - have been putting on four a day while i'm off work as I am back on thursday and then I won't have much time.

Have finally started my food survey - was supposed to start it last monday so have done 3 1/2 days worth to start catching up!!

How is everyone doing today hope everyone is doing well and welcome slm you will soon get to grips with everything xx

Evening all - well Only Men Aloud were fantastic last night! We had brilliant seats, and they put on a fantastic show! I would recommend it to anyone (even though I think I was one of the youngest there lol!)
Finished work early today and took advantage of getting OH presents wrapped before he got home. Tuesday is always busy with kids swimming and DS football training, so chip shop supper and finally got chance to sit down and do my online shop for tomorrow. A little overspent, but includes some of the Christmas cake ingredients but OH has bought his hamper home from work which includes S vouchers so think we will manage Christmas dinner for free and probably the following weeks shop as well!
Only 2 more presents to get and Im hoping to get them tomorrow! Want to try and get all my jobs done so I can study solid for the next 10 days before dreaded exam :-0

Glad to hear everyone is getting into the Christmassy spirit, when we put the tree up last weekend there were a few decs that we didn't use including a new light up garland which we have no room for so I decided to put it on ebay - it sold for 3 times more than I paid for it!!! Well chuffed and made well over my weekly target in one day! Leaving the money in paypal now as a good start for next year.
I have treated myself to a new dress for my works do on Friday - took advantage of Dotty P's 20% and Q cashback last weekend, and have actually got 4 dresses coming for me to try on - fingers crossed they arrive tomorrow! At least 2 will be going back, but need to try them for choice!

Sorry to hear about everyone's problems with pets, laptops, and anything else causing stress!
Lets hope things get better towards the weekend!

Right, off to see what other competitions I can enter
Night all x

Wow Foxy you are so organised. What was the Men Aloud thing? A play or a musical etc? I've never heard of it. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves though.

Emma -sorry to hear about the dog. I hope he/she feels better soon, poor thing. Well done on getting things sorted at the docs, a right pain, but at least it's all out of the way. Well done on your reviews. I'm not far behind you - I put three on in the end. I copied an old one from DooU and I'll do the return rating for that in the morning now. I can't wait to see how much my balance jumps up in the morning. Aren't I sad? LOL
