Hilarious! After moaning that I'd written 126 reviews and never had a crown.....I got my first one this morning (on DY!) wahoo! I suddenly feel my target is reaching ever closer!

Well done JamTart - I got one, and the Herb that starts with a V got her first one too. She's only been there about a fortnight.

Sorry you're having a bad time lately. You get one problem sorted and then there's another one. I hope things make a turn for the better soon.

Legend, hope the headache goes soon, I can feel one coming on as well xx

I was updating my spreadsheet this afternoon and found I was able to redeem £10 bacs from panelbase. I did a bit more on SB too, seem to being doing well on there now after all the hiccups I was having. I still only have one person on SP at the mo so could do with referring one more at least. I have put it on the referral board so keeping my fingers crossed.

I did a bit of sewing this morning, got another two cushions finished and listed on my shop (some pics on my blog). The new mattress has turned up but I cant get it up the stairs until OH gets home later on as its too heavy.

Sorry to snip your message, I was running out of space. I'm going to check out the cushions in a minute. Well done hun. I'm glad the mattress turned up (eventually).

Legend - sorry to here you have a headache again. I have none for months, and then them everyday for a week, so I know how it gets you down.

Michelle - Poor you. Wrap up warm. I won't put the heating on until OH gets in from work about 1.30pm, so it's freezing in the morning here too. Then he will only put it on about 15 (tightwad). It only goes up to 18 when DD2 comes home, and goes off when he goes to bed at 9. When I'm up to 12, 1 or 2, I'm frozen solid some nights. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Bevally - sorry I didn't reply earlier. I go the end of April, and four days. It's for my sisters 40th. Me and my two sisters - only us allowed. No kids, no OH's. Bliss. :T I've pm'd you back. Don't you worry about anything.

Jedi - what site was your thing last week for? You're not far away from me. I wondered if I was missing something.

Right - If I've forgotten anyone, I apologise. Off to sort out dinner.

Thanks Claros, worked fine for me, have signed upto the wipes one and the hand cream one. Hopefully they will want some of us.

Have had a very tricky day with Tabi, she has just been really difficult all day, grizzly and grumpy. Have passed her to dad for a bit just to get a bit of time to myself. She is lovely but quite full on sometimes!

Thanks Claros for link, will investigate in a mo, it has opened for me. Plenty of vids to watch on SB Supersonic, 2SBs each, so it soon adds up . Would love a SuperPoints friend, have none at the mo, have also posted on Referrers .

Claros - thanks hun. Computer threw a wobbly and wouldn't open up any link, not just that one. I've had to shut it down, and re-boot it and it seems fine now. I'll try again in a sec.
