    Legend - I haven't done the Celebrity slim but i've done slimfast more than a couple of times ;) I once even did it while on holiday. Mad or what? These things are great for a quick loss, but they don't really deal with your eating issues in the long run.

    Do that for the next week and when it's gone join weight watchers - they have an offer on TCB or Quidco - where you join up with a three month plan for £30 or something, but you get £33 Cashback. I've done it twice now and they always payout.

    It's for the online version though - so if you struggle doing it at home, print out your membership to prove you've paid for three months, and take it to a class. The leader 'Should' let you have a weigh in there - it's much better as you get so much support from the other members.

    I might be biased as I love ww, but I've tried slimming world, Rosemary conley, cambridge diet - the lot, and ww is the only one that works for me. Oh and by the way - I'm now a size 14 from a 22 8 weeks ago - I've lost over a stone and a half in 8 weeks, so it works. Like anything, you HAVE to stick at it. :)

    Legend - It is disgraceful that you're not on SB's. It only takes a couple of minutes per day, more if you want to put more effort in. Get Emma to refer you :)

    Fatblackandwhite - They don't go on immediately - you'll see your points jump in a couple of weeks.

    Emma - that's not good news - you complain as loud as you can. Elderly and little ones should be priority. They should also have a stock of parts in, especially as they only ever break in the winter.

    Foxy - well done on the win hun. Woo Hoo your on a roll.

    Thanks for the last code Mumtothree - I was snoring by then ;)

  • Thank you Elysia!
  • I missed the final swag code last night couldnt keep eyes open was sooooooo tired lol I have had a good week on bingo no cashback but spent £20 and withdrew £103 so nice little profit there:j

    Need to pull my socks up and write some reviews just have not had the right head for it.

    On the upside work turned out brill we had a confrence call I got my say and managers agreed with everything and put us all in our place reminding us although we work from home it is a real job and we need to realise that i think that was just what we needed.

    Hope everyone has a good day xx
  • Wow some big money being made around here! I'm just plodding along making pennies (literally) no surveys today as yet, I should go read my textbook since I have no excuse to be on here but I'm mooching on MSE instead. Oops.

    Thanks for all the sw codes guys. Up to 224 but have a survey to add on when too.
    Listed 28 things on eby yesterday so that is a start. A few bits I want to wait for free listing as hoping to start at a higher price. Missed the last one as too busy so hope there's another one soon.

    Just got back from taking twins to gymnastics which they loved. They want to go every week so that is £5 a week plus petrol to find. Bit of luck I 3 new girls starting with me at the end of the month. Only school runs and about an hour before but will cover this.

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

    Hi all, well time for work so quick update - managed to get to 608 sbs really trying to push this one - just had a look at the rewards and £5 am for 849 yet £25 am for 5250 working out at more per £5 which seems strange - think i'll stick to the £5 at a time!

    Hope everyone is having a good day xx

    Morning all, I have finally got through about my boiler, they will come out on Monday as they only deal with gas leaks on a weekend and if the boiler needs parts then it is 5 working days for them, I reckon we are gonna be without heating and hot water for at least a fortnight. My grandma had to have hers fixed and it took about 3 weeks just for the parts to come, I told them I have a 1 year old in the house but they weren't bothered needless to say I have the complaints address.

    I had no heating last night, was freezing all night, rang BG up this morning 8.30am and the engineer came out at 12 and fixed it. It was a valve that had broke. So pleased to have a warm house again. Sorry you have got to wait, not good when you have a young one at home.
