Hi All,
Everyone seems so busy rating and reviewing, polling and surveying! So well done to you all!

I have unfortunatley been busy spending but I know that some of what I have spent will be put back when I redeem a coupleof sites soon. It is my little girls 2nd birthday on teh 16th and we are having a little party at the village hall so had to pay for that. It is my sons birthday on the 22nd so have paid for that too. Did quite well though as hired a leisure centre with bouncy castle etc works out cheaper than doing a per head thing at one of teh local softplays. He wants a 'sonic' party so have bought all of teh paty plates etc (doing half sonic half blue) from an online shop. Signed up and pt it all in my basket then went for a mooch to make sure I couldn't get it cheaper anywhere else or via quidco. I then checked my email and they had sent a 10% discount! Yippee!

Have been doing some rating on ciao but need to put a new review on as well. That will be later. Off to do some MM and Looney. Can someone refer me to superpoints too please?

Thank-you xx

Nicola, do you mind me asking which website this was? My DS1's birthday is Feb & i'm trying to get bits for his part sorted, thanks hun!

Have continued to read but not been posting as laptop died (completely, wouldn't even switch on!) so only had my ipod & its just too much effort to type on their im afraid! So my new years resolution to join in more & make more money has already fallen by the wayside as unable to do any surveys via ipod, except one poll & keep forgetting to check. Have been able to do swag though, which i really like, & still did my Mccain! But not really much else!
Now have the new laptop but have so much to catch up on since the old one died..... i'm so behind, but i'll get there, lol!!!
Elysia, i may need the spreadsheet again hun (sorry) but i'll let you know.
Best head off for now as DS2 needs lunch & lots to do before a night shift tonight

cornish.chick

Got the code thanks

Chel - I wouldn't say its better than the series but its defo worth a watch. Usually I have to watch comedys with other people to find them laugh out loud funny, but not with this one... was in stitches

Written another review to post tonight, off out to the park then good ol' mummys for tea!

Legendmum

Afternoon all! I am back and had a lovely Toby Carvery Breakfast with the girls and my best mate bought mine as I babysat her daughter during the holidays so she could work! I know not strictly within the diet but I am so full up I dont fancy lunch so not too bad!
Need to go catch up on all the surveys etc and see what emails I have to go through1
Also need to explain to Connor, again, that Christmas is over! He today shouted from the playground "Bye Mummy, Merry Christmas!" lol

Also first night of no nappy! He had a wee about 8 and into bed, I checked on him at 3am and he was a bit wet but not the sheets etc, thing is he was asleep so looks like it doesnt bother him! I toileted him then and he stayed dry till 7am! Any thoughts? Should I just keep going or as a friend suggested put him back in pull ups until his nappy is dry through the night which it never is? Hmmmm! Kids!

cha97michelle

Thanks for the code.

legend I would just go for it hon to be honest. I have had my DS2 (3 last May) out of nappies at night for months. We lift him before we go to bed, and he is mostly dry in the morning. Why spend more on pull ups is my opinion, and they never know the feeling of being a bit wet and uncomfy. He should be able to do it.

I haven't tried selling on Facebook - don't know how.

Hi everyone, sorry ive not been on the last few days, i now start work at 6am on monday and 8am on tuesday so have to leave home an hour before that to get the bus so finish work and been very tired!

Please could i be added to the facebook group please

Not managed to get much done on ciao and dooyoo the last 2 days although hoping to get a review and lots of rating done tonight although already nearly at the £50 target for the month on ebay at £47.68 :eek: cant believe how well im doing on there, didnt think jan would be that good.

Got some bits in the debehams sale for my mums birthday yesterday (well she picked herself) the rrp was £20 and got them for £6 in total in the 70% sale a nice necklace and smelly heart thing :rotfl:

off to get some parcels done up now for PO

I complained about a misadvertisement in Lidl's offer sheet. I got a letter this morning - £5 to spend when I next shop there.

Im trying to cut back on shopping this year £150 a week :eek::eek: last year that did include nappies wipes shampoo etc but still wayyyyy to much money for the 5 of us and a dog:o

Managed to get it for £56 last week but that was more just a food shop than everything included and just done a shop now for £86 which includes everything so I am mega pleased that may be a lot for some but to me thats a huge reduction and to top it off found a ecoupon for £10 off £50 spend so only cost me £76 with delivery :j:j

I can see a piney waiting for me and a few from VO so just going to copy over a review then start on them loving the FB group btw so much easier to talk without codes lol xx

ps. remember the free lottery up to £60 who are these people that miss there chance by not checking everyday :rotfl:

foxy219

Free lottery not me :-(
I've just completed a luny which comes with 2 tubes of toothpaste as a product test
Also signed up for a product test at Boots next week which gets me 2 x £5 gift vouchers. Shame its Friday so the 75% sale will be in full swing by then!
Have had my T food order delivered today, totally wrong and I've complained big time. Am waiting on a response from them currently.
OH is doing a market research group tonight £40 which I can't moan at, really need the cash at the moment so every penny helps.
Its OH birthday tomorrow, bought him Jimmy Carr tickets and some golf lessons (got through Groupon) so think he will be well chuffed, although there isn't really much there to open....

My finger is a lot better, I can actually bend it now and get my ring back on, so just going to leave it.
My mum is coming round tonight, she wants some help doing a tax return, so I may have to have bingo playing in the background!
