    You probably should have been more specific, and ruled out the "Ooh it's huge, it's ginormous" kind of net-chat... ;)

    :rotfl: That made me chuckle.

    Thanks Beccie :D.

    Looking after my niece for the afternoon whilst my sister takes my nephew to the doctor for his jabs. Just caught up on a backlog of surveys from this morning. Got accepted for quite a lot. Applied for another net chat for next week too (no, not that kind ZTD), so fingers crossed I get accepted as £25 for 90 minutes work is fine by me.

    Need to get on with some questions now.

    Morning all

    Busy end of the month for me on the questions. Now I need a positive start to October :). Need to catch up on those bills so I can get my budget sorted for January 2012. That's the goal anyway.

    I have got my first Christmas present sorted. Ordered some Playmobil for my niece with some Amazon vouchers. I also received those chocolates I won ages ago. I've given one box to my mum to put away for Christmas and am thinking of saving the other box to give to my friend so I don't have to spend anything on a present for her.

    Joined the NSD challenge this morning to try and keep my spending down. Going to be tight in this month.

    Be back later.

    Oops, not the day I had planned really.

    OH went to Wrexham to pick up some car parts. I didn't think I was going with him, but he asked if I could. He offered to put £10 petrol in my car when we got back and he bought me lunch. It's so tight this month that I couldn't refuse £10 petrol ;).

    So 4 hours there and 4 hours back, and I haven't got any work done. Got £2 change from OH though (I pick up what he leaves lying around).

    I also ordered a free card from Funky Pigeon for my niece for Christmas. A few points on some survey and bingo sites under my belt too.

    So watching the X Factor and then a film on Sky before bed.

    Thought I had better post a quick update.

    Been busy working over the past couple of days. Need to do something with the flat over the rest of the week though. It looks a right state. I've given up trying to get OH to do anything. It's just easier to get it done myself (he has been buying a lot of shopping recently, which has helped me out no end, so I can't complain really).

    So, 1 room a day for the rest of the week I think. Tomorrow is bathroom day.

    Doing well on the surveys, hoping to get some Amazon vouchers coming in soon so that I can continue getting my Christmas shopping. Also had my 3rd NSD in a row today. Going for another tomorrow :).

    Going to get an early night.

    This shopping thing - I take it that he doesn't eat then?

    He does, but we tend to have separate food as I need to put on weight and he needs to lose it. So he has been buying food for himself and for me recently. I think he wants to make sure I am eating properly.
