Got totally confused why you were asking if I needed to pop to the shops lol!! I have read good things about that one, cheers just need my vouchers to come through now!

Been to town this morning and got a couple of thinghs in peacocks and a doodle penguin for my eldest so thats another couple of presents and every one is money neutral!!

Sorry if it has already been noticed/mentioned, but on the RadiumB bit on swagbucks there are a couple of JObcentre videos that get you 7 points for just watching. There is also a jobcentre survey to do (dont need to enter details just click on pictures) for 10 points.

Busy writing out listings and taking photos for Eb..
I spent £29 of my £50 PB wins on a train ticket to visit family in March - pays to buy ahead - would cost more than double that driving - if I had a car!
Now I need to gather some more money as I will need to buy another train ticket to do the same trip in April. I have a railcard so I get a third off my tickets.

Welcome back kec, I'm glad to see you back and please do keep posting. It will be hard for a while but your doing it and your a stronger person tahn you realise, the world truly is your lobster hun xx

Glad to see you pablos, congrats on your little one, how wonderful, I'm so sorry under such terrible circumstances. I hope your feeling better now and there is no lasting complications. Make sure you don't do too much and enjoy your new family xxx

I have found the phone at last pips, it was under a pile of toys lol. All morning she was calling for my phone, 'mummy's phone, mummy's phone, where are you??' lol;. Normally it wouldn't be a problem but with the move etc it has all the numbers too etc.

I did the S&S food survey a few weeks back, and after the first week they invited me to a second one, £10 a week. Can someone refer me to the food panel thing too?

Been busy today, sold the caterpillar rocker this morning, so glad it's gone I hated it, it creeped me out lol. Then we went to the tip to get rid of some of the rubbish. Still some more here but getting through it slowly. Lots to list tonight on ebay, lots to package and send. Wish it would shift quicker.

Hope everyone is having a lovely day

Congratulations Pablosmummy, glad to hear you are doing well.

Well done to everyone that has managed to do some money making already today. I have struggled to get motivated today, having one of those days where I just don't feel like its worth me doing anything. I really want to get some stuff on ebay and I had planned to bake this afternoon but its already gone 3pm and I have not done a thing!

Someone give me a kick up the backside please!!

Don't worry kec, ebay listings do best between 6pm and 10pm so peak listing time hasn't passed yet, you can still do it. Even if you only get one item on it's one step towards some cash, you can do it hun, shant give you a boot up the backside as I am wearing stilettos lol

Pablos -of course we remember you hun. Welcome back and congrats on the birth of little Thom.

I went to see OH's great nephew yesterday. 7 days old and so scrumptious. I could have easily taken him home with me, his Mum was keeping a careful eye out though. Bless. I love babies.

Have been awol this morning - as we didn't do anything special for DD's birthday (she went to the pantomine at the Hippodrome on a school trip), we took her out for the morning to the soft play centre. Have got back, had some lunch, done spins and SB's etc, and now have to do some listing.


ETA: Stepmum - there must be a way of referring people to the food diary as Emma did it that way in the first place.

Have you read through the forms yet? I have only had a quick glance but it looks simple enough, just a case of remembering to do it every day.

I had a A5 sheet of white paper asking for details of who you are refering, there is only enough space for one and it says it should be signed however I turned it over and just wrote that you all wanted to be referred and wrote all your details down and it must have been ok as at least some of you have recieved it.

For those that have pm about the food diary I am not ignoring you I promise. I have contacted the company as there is a part where they ask the person being invited to sign so I am asking if there is a way around this. If so I thought that I could invite and so could Elysia and anyone else that has recieved it. They are open tomorrow so hope to hear then. Don't want you to think I'm ignoring you.

Missed your post! see above, the signature obviously didn't matter xx
