:rotfl:it didn't look anything like a monkey :rotfl:
glad to say i got better though and actually sold quite a lot before xmas last year. Had too many orders to complete actually. SO am hoping to sell them this year and put money in savings (instead of frittering like last year)
I'm also making them as gifts though as i promised some last year and was so busy i never made them!!! SO one each for my nephews/nieces i think lol
Maybe I should peservere then.... my first one I kept bless him, he's so awful he's funny!

Afternoon all
beccie- I will try and post a picture up here after I have finished the first onesplease don't laugh if they are that bad though haha.
Today I haven't done very much to be honest, feel full of cold and so tired but have made a start:
1) did my surveys that I was sent in emails
2) Gave £5 to charity & in return received yummy cup cakes, cooked breakfast & tea
3) Went through bank account on line and deleted all old standing orders/ direct debits (thought I had already done this but some were still there?!!!)
4) entered competitions from an email i received
5) sent email on to family members and friends (good karma and all that)
That is my 5 but if i have energy later I will try and get more!
Aesop, thank you for the referral, i finally found it in my junk box lol!

right here's mine for today. Also put my positive steps in my sig as it will help me keep count.
* Completed every survey Available
* Playing bingo
* Nagged hubby into phoning about PPI (claim in progress :T)
I think that's it so far....eBay is an ongoing thing and I've not listed stuff I have yet, so can't count that. If it stopped raining I might get around to taking photos and i could count that, but it doesn't look like it's letting up.
Oh and i got my christmas vouchers today....not really MSE but it will be when i start spending and make them stretch as much as they can.
That makes me up to 20 so far....You have to start to finish.

Thanks Rosie. Well done to you too :T.
The Pigsback thing is a joke. I've got roughly the same amount as you and that amount won't really buy anything. You can only get extra points now by referring people or buying the deals on there. Visit the Pigsback thread on the freebies board, as everyone is up in arms about it.
