Guess what I have done the same!! They haven't told me they can't be added yet but they won't cause they in the wrong category - think that's all 5 of my suggestions this week - oops!!

Managed to finish my neices xmas present today, we would usually spend 10-15 pound on her and I have got her some chocolates, character bubble bath and a dressing gown and it has only cost £5.18 really chuffed!!
Elysia - did think about a reward chart but I have been told that is a very bad thing to do for night time wetting as you can't say whether she is being lazy (in which case it could work) or not producing the hormone (in which case she would be upset she couldn't do it) once she is 5 (june) she can have the hormone in medication form if it is still needed to help.

Hi all,
Just a quick one before the school run!
Elysia - well done u on spending so long helping someone set up their kindle, I'm gonna order one, might be giving you a shout!!!
Milla- hope your backs feeling better soon
Nicky - he is just gorgeous! Congratulations! Makes me want no 3!
Emma & Lengend - sorry no real tips from me, struggled with DS1. he's always been so grown up in everything he does it was really frustrating when he didn't crack being dry at night, and the washing nightmare! He always seemed to manage to wet his duvet too ( god knows how!!!), but he got there eventually. DS2 still to young but not looking forward to it! It sometimes just helps to know you're not the only one going through it.
Sorry everyone else, I've not forgotten you, I'm just running out of time ( there's just never enough!)
Quick Q from me for anyone doing sw@g - do you do games for points??? Is there a quick way to get these???
Everyone is doing so well, keep it up! I just need to up my game now, lol My Paddy hasn't tracked yet (thanks Elysia for the info) need to put in a claim.

Hi everyone,

Bevally I have done the games if I have been avoiding doing anything else I haven't found a quick way to gain points it seems to be after every 2 games you earn 2 points really.

Nicky Oliver is just beautiful! Congratulations again

Emma/Legend I have to tackle night time yet my son is 3 but I'm figuring while he still has wet pull ups in the morning it's not worth leaving him bare as he won't be dry yet. Hope you manage to get both of your dry soon.

Emma sounds like a lovely little gift and yay for saving pennies!

Cornish hope you manage a good early night tonight.

I forget what else I haven't been able to do much today, my washing machine has been leaking water everywhere and now is giving me error 2 which is driving me nuts. I managed to fix it last time it done it but it's refusing to fix this time. Think I'm going to have to get onto my landlord but it'll cause some problems so I really want to fix it if I can. Grrrrrrrrrr. Oh well.

Afternoon all

My T points shot up again today, they must be catching up from over the holiday period. I am up to 36,000 again already and only redeemed on Monday.

I havent done much at all today really, had a lazy day after yesterday's stress.

Well done everyone - I've been doing surveys and things for points. Got to prepare dinner now, and then do some rating.

Bevally - Kindle is easy, you'll be fine - the problem was because she had no wifi and it wasn't set up to her own account. I've made it sound like a horror story, but it's really easy. Nothing to it. Honestly.

Back sooon x

Maxi - a video for 10 points is currently on the site.

Hello!
Never posted on this thread before - still in the process of trying to read through all of the 2011 ones!
New Years resolution this year is to start and finish making a patchwork quilt. Been hand sewing the whole thing so far because I don't have a sewing machine so my mum said she'd buy me a cheapish one
Can anyone recommend one? Or tell me which one I should go for out of these few?

Brother LS2125 - £79
Toyota Super Jeans - £149
John Lewis JL110SE - £99

(won't let me post links as a new user, sorry!)

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hayley - Hopefully Rufus and HollieinBloom will be along in a while to help you.

Don't bother reading the 2011 thread, jump right in and join now. We'd love it if you did.

Have you seen that new mag in the shops? It's all about quilting and there's a new issue every fortnight. I might give it a try, I've always wanted to do quilting. Well done on handsewing the whole thing. I bet it looks amazing - can you post me a pic?

Night everyone - I'm logging off early tonight. I haven't done any rating yet either, but I promise to catch up.

Legend - I'm on a 50/50 commission you know I hope you cashed out ok.
