Chel - I sold a Lalaloopsy on ebay the weekend. They are only light and other sellers were quoting £2.50 p+p so I did the same. I was worried about packing it, so stuck it in a cardboard box. They only went and charged me £6.70. Out of pocket again, but at least it's gone, so I can't be tempted to give it DD too. There's not enough room for the stuff I've bought as it is.

£5.45 in my Christmas account for next year as I emptied mine too. I've a nice little pot mounting up in Am, and are expecting a few cheques, vouchers and paypal payments so I've started saving for next year. That's if I don't get tempted by too many more bargains as well. What are we like?

Snow and high winds predicted for Fri/Sat/Sun - so I'm staying inside and no-one is going to move me.

I'm going to have a go at this review thingy on chow and doou, can you look out for me please and give me your best.
On Chow i'm jal1 and on Doou i'm jannie1234.

Can anyone tell me how I can change my used name so that I become tooti on all of them? any advice would be good.

Lovely name Rufus by the way xx

I don't think you can tooti - couldn't you just sign up with a new email address and have tooti as your username? It would be a fresh start.

Chel - DD wanted spot splatter splash which is hard to find under £50 now( and I tried for months to get it anyway - it couldn't be found anywhere) , so I bought her Misty Mysterious instead, then I found SSSplash cheap. It's done now and like I say, at least I can't be tempted to give her another one. I wish Christmas would hurry up and come, it's costing me a fortune with all the things I'm still buying. There is definitely a downside to being organised.

Morning everyone How are we all doing on this wet and windy day? I think I might blow to school today instead of walk.

Oh Chow went up by £3 again despite my only putting two on yesterday. I've plenty of suggestions added so I'll be writing some things this morning.

Have a great day everyone

I'm up to £37 this morning on c. I might blow my £75 target out the water at this rate. So pleased with how it is going. I'm thinking if I write quite a few new ones I can then paste them onto dy one at a time, and get most for them and have a bit of a writing rest. I'll need it at this rate.

I also got 2 PC yesterday. Couldn't believe 2 within hours of each other, and 3rd of the month. Fabulous. I do need to try and do some other surveys, but all the stopping up till 1 is not helping with that.

Absolutely miserable today here so the only thing I want to do it sit by the computer. Might watch a film with the kiddies though later.

Hope the wind isn't too bad for everyone today, just wet and miserable here. Waiting in for the health visitor to come round for DD's 2 year check, got a list of things I want to ask her, I hope she hasnt got to go and see anyone else soon after :rotfl:

After saying about the product tests the other day my postie brought me 2 today, the moisturiser and some crisps! yum! Chow went up quite alot last night so I finially got the bonus, got to get my writing cap on later as I nly have 2 more to post on there

very wet and windy here not looking forward to driving to work in an hour.

chow jumped to £33 so really pleased with that - have been putting 3 or 4 on a day though!! Will only manage 2 today and probably the next few days as I am at work for the next 5 days - work always gets in the way lol!! Not doing much in the way of survey as i'm writing instead but this promotion is worth missing a few surveys for.

I got the last thing for my hampers this morning so just need to put them all together and still waiting for one photo book to be delivered then just finish the wrapping.

Hope everyone stayng inside and keeping warm in this weather!!
