Good for you Emma on complaining. I would have too. I have my fingers firmly crossed for you.

Michelle - blimey, getting rates today is like pulling teeth. I've been on there all day. I had a lovely message off one member saying thanks to my review - I'd just cost him £100 as he was going to have to buy one.

congratulations rufus!! Hello to you all! I have been an average thrifty-gifter this year. Been busy on eBay. Very glad to see you all doing so well xx

(hello mum2one and elysia too!)

Hello everyone

Rufus - Congratulations :j!! I hope you get to meet your new grandson tomorrow.

Savvy - I hope tomorrow is better for you.

Chow is doing well to say I've barely been on it. I'm up to about £8.50 now for very little effort. I've emailed now I've done 5 toy reviews so hopefully I'll have another £7 going on soon.

Baby news - I saw my midwife yesterday and all is good. Baby is properly engaged and I've been having quite strong practice contractions. The midwife said it could be soon, even this week, that things start off! I'd love it if things started on their own this time as DS had to be induced, however I'm trying to work until the end of term (16th) so I'm hoping it's soon after that. I don't want to miss the last week at school as it's so much fun doing all the Christmassy things

Hiya Jammie - It's lovely to see you again. I'm glad you've done well for Christmas this year. Are you going to be joining in 2012? It would be lovely if you did.

Nicky - Hang on hun. Deep breaths. LOL. The last week before Christmas is always the best, I agree, it would be a shame to miss it, but little one wants to come it can't be helped. Well done on Ciao too.

Mum2three. I didn't know you were on chow too. I'll see if I can find you.

Savvy - Hope things start looking up soon hun
Elysia - Its lush living so close to the beach, just a pain in summer with tourists lol
Emma - fingers crossed about work!
Nicky - I hope baby stays put just that little bit longer, how exciting!!

I have been rating like mad in the hope of people returning them but no such luck here either, it's almost like i rate 50 reviews and only get 25 back must carry on and hope people return them before the promo runs out!

I've noticed the same with rating. I've been putting hours in, and I keep going in the hope it will get returned at a higher percentage at some stage. Like those who are at work will rate back later I am sure. I just think it is so hard to see who has rated you back on C.

I might spend some time doing surveys tonight. noticed a new PC one, and loads of mysurvey. Can't just read/rate after all. Really feel like I am flagging tonight, so if I don't perk up soon, I might just go to bed.

Wrote 85 christmas cards with the kids earlier, and I am sure it is that what did it. I;ve not even wrote my own yet, but there's are now done. Just the teachers ones to write, then the biggest can sign them tomorrow.

DS1 was telling me tonight I will be really proud of him as he is Joseph in his nativity play. I am not sure if he is or not. He certainly thinks he is, and what an honour if he is. I will need tissues.

Oh Michelle - You are quite right to be proud. I would be sobbing too. My DD's where never Mary, one was a lamb, and the other was the Angel. Well done on writing the cards. I hate and detest card writing, it's took me all week to write 20 for the Elf thread. I posted them this afternoon, so they are out of the way thank goodness. I have all my birthday cards for next year bought, but I haven't started on this Christmas cards yet - How bad is that? I told you I hate it. LOL.

Hi Julie - How are you doing? I know it's busy, and you're here there and everywhere. Thanks for popping in when you can.

Cornish - I know these bloomin tourists get everywhere. I'm stalking you all - I was by you in the summer, and by Legend last year. That's what you get for me being furthest away from the sea. :rotfl:
