    Rufus you are so good at making things, I aspire to be like you - I was very lucky and got a host of crafty books for Christmas this year so I am determined to teach myself to make lots of beautiful things like you - I will even try to put some photos up to show you all if they are any good!

    That's the spirit Claros - you can then have a crafty shop and sell your makes then too. I've got my folksy shop set up. I just need to make a few things to sell in it now. :) That's my new year's resolution.

    Chel - I've had loads of surveys too, but not actually qualified for one yet. Grrrr.

  • Good afternoon everyone.

    Thanks for wondering about me Elysia :) No sign of baby yet, I'm now 1 day overdue. I had my hospital appointment this morning and there is now talk of me having a c-section after all the problems having my son (3rd degree tear etc :(). I'm having a scan tomorrow so they can assess the size of the baby. If it is as big as my son then they will offer me a c-section. So we're still playing 'wait and see'!

    Money making - I've done absolutely nothing yet but I will check out Chow later on and see if they've added my suggestions. I'm off out clothes shopping for DS in a bit, he seems to have grown a good few inches overnight and his trousers are all looking too short!

    Rufus - Love the Kindle case, you should definitely make a few up for your shop.
    Making money for Christmas 2012!

    You take it easy Nicky. You don't want to go through that again, so a C Section might be preferable. Hopefully you won't go into labour today. ;)

    OOH it looks like your having a new year baby now. I'm so excited for you :j

    Tilly - you can do £500 easily - if you stick to it. ;) It's hard work sometimes, but if you keep coming back here, we can help you.

    YOU CAN DO IT - but even if you only earn a penny - it's a penny less that you have to find later ;)

    Could you pm me your email address, and I can send you the spreadsheet straight away. :)
    Could I please have the spreadsheet, I have been waiting patiently for the new thread and can't wait to get stuck in. :j
