It was my friend's daughter's first birthday on Tuesday and she is having a party for her tomorrow. She is such a little cutie! I love her to bits. Anyway, I bought a present for her a couple of months back as I found what I wanted in a cheaper shop (Fisher Price Cookie Jar - bought one last year for my other friend's little girl and she loved it!) and bought wrapping paper and card in Mr M's yesterday so all prepared and not too expensive! :j Just need to remember to wrap it tonight so that we are not fighting with wrapping paper and tape in the car 5 minutes before we have to be there tomorrow!

Have a good weekend everyone xx

Typically I was fighting with paper and tape in the car :mad: Luckily it was an hour before we were due there and we got there 10 minutes early :T

Had a lovely meal on Saturday night. Mr G's sister was surprised! (She didn't know we were going). Spent too much

I have decided to list my surveys. This should keep me up to date. I only do a couple at the moment as I have loads on just now, I may add a few soon. I got referrals from Flyin_Fresian (thank you).

GlobalTestMarket - 710 / 1000

OnePoll - £11 / £40

SwagBucks - 16 / 849 (for £5 Amazon voucher)

I don't do very well with SwagBucks as I keep forgetting about it

Hi Gap,

I found I got screened out at every opportunity with surveys. I haven't done any for ages but did use the tactic of completing it as Mr Itsa instead (as I figured there are not as many men sat at home doing surveys) and was far more successful.

Struggling to find enough hours in the day at the moment.

£1.30 to PAD today. My friend saw me at the bus stop this morning and gave me a lift to work. How nice. Funny thing was, I had ordered tea for her and it arrived yesterday so I had it in my bag this morning to give to her later

Slept in a bit this morning. I turned the alarm off and turned over for 5 minutes. Woke up at 7.45am :eek: Need to leave the house at 8.40 at the very latest and we don't have a shower, only a bath and there is NO WAY I would leave the house without having a bath. Major panic but we made it on time! Phew!

Mr G and SLM are going away for the week next week for their annual holiday. I can't afford one this year for LM and I but we will go next year. There is no way we could take the two of them on holiday together. If they didn't kill each other, I would kill them At least we will get peace for a few days. It is LM's birthday next week as well.

Roll on the weekend :cool:

I have got right out of the habit of bringing lunch with me to work and I have been spending loads on juice and food. I really need to get back into a routine again.

I have decided to give body shop at home a try for extra income. My first party is tonight so we will see what comes of that. I don't think there are that many people going as it was quite short notice but because it is my first party I will use it as a learning tool and ask for feedback and constructive criticism, advice and ideas I am actually quite looking forward to it.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Hello Gap, well done on starting up the parties to generate more income. I used to do Virgin Vie but found it difficult generating parties. I think you need to be a bit cheeky with people!! Also offering an incentive might help?? Let us know how it goes.

How things going since Mr Gap moved in? Do you think you will enjoy the space next week?? xx

Thanks mummy. I have my first party tonight, one booked for 18th November and I have been asked to do a charity night on 1st December. I also have one person (Mr G's sister) who says she will do a party for me (I know she will) but no date yet and a possible other one from tonight's group. I am also hoping that I might get a couple out of the charity night. Also, I have not told a lot of my close friends so I am hoping to have my own party and invite all of them. Other than that, who knows what will happen? Just have to wait and see.

Things are actually good with Mr G. We have had a couple of big ups and downs but we seem to have come through them. I look forward to getting a double bed all to myself next week :j although LM will probably jump in a couple of nights!
