    Morning everyone

    I woke up early this morning, must be excitement of going out to the fabric shop lol. They are having a sale from today so I am hoping to pick up some bargains.

    I got my SB voucher yesterday so coming along nicely this month. Just need 90p on OP lol. I tried really hard yesterday but the site is getting a bit of a joke these days with surveys not finishing or going back to the start half way through so makes it painful trying to get through them.

    Morning all! Up at 5.30 with DS, seems this is his new wake up time! Has been for the past week although not Sunday as he was shattered from being up all night! Another day of school for him as his blocked nose is really affecting his night time sleep plus I am knackered after looking after him since Friday, day and night and OH is useless! I am losing my patience with his lack of input!
    Anyway have rcashed out £20 from Paypal this morning!
    Bit gutted though as I ordered my diet stuff off chemist 4u on weekend as it was shoet dated but had to pay postage! Last night it was posted on Grabbit its same price on Amazon but free postage! Could have saved a fiver! Damn!

  • Morning all, hope you are all doing well. Am having my best month so far with moneymaking. Feel really inspired with it all.

    Just been sent a crate of wine as part of my energy switch deal which will be enjoyed. Only have the odd glass at the weekends but this will still save us a few quid! We also got £100 in love2shop vouchers and the tariff saves us about £10 a month!

    Also had a piney voucher through post today and a lovely book from cow and gate all about weaning but it has loads of vouchers, charts and really handy bits so very pleased with that.

    Thanks Chel lol, luckily just want one testing!

    These celebrity slim shakes, are they any good? Have some baby weight to shift and hope they may kick start the diet, ordered a box for a £5 but if they are good may order some more. Also got Zumba on the wii for Christmas so need to use that to start toning the flab! Meant to be going skiing again next winter and want to wear my normal gear and not have to splash out on another set of clothes.

    Well boat I lost 5lb last week, my first week, they have a facebook page which is very helpful and I have now stocked so think I should last till end of feb. You will get headaches first week but as long as you drink your 2l of water then you should be ok. Sign up to the website too as you wont have the program guide in your back and that has all the info!

    Afternoon all, been to Mr A this morning and managed to get 3 presents for £10.50 so well impressed with that.

    Can't remember who asked but I did a swags survey and it took about a week to credit the points.

    Am over 900 on sp now although I am at work the next 4 days maybe more haven't got my roat yet so not going to have as much time on the computer as the last few days so may not get to do all my spins.

    Wrote a review yesterday and couldn't find it on c so suggested it, hadn't gone on this morning so i posted another only to find it went on at the same time and didn't even appear on the new reviews list so if anyone would mind rating my Peppa Pig the game review on C I would be grateful.

    School run soon and then have to take eldest to hairdressers she can nearly sit on her hair!!

  • Just done my first review in two weeks and posted it, yea!
    What is everyone doing with chow and dy are you still posted on both? I know last time I was on things were a little in the air over the two sites.

    Hope your all ok and doing well.

    Things are still a bit in the air at home at the mo. OH is going for a new job which if he gets will change all our lifes forever which is frightening me quite a bit.

    How is the luny challenge going michelle. I seem to have come to a halt on 73000 got loads of surveys still open need those points to clear and that should do it!

  • I am still posting on both C and D for now going to see what happens in the near future but so far i can not see a difference. In the last 4 days I have added 4 new reviews woooo going to try and write another today to keep my roll up.

    We had 3 laptops july last year as I work on comp it is important we have alternitives and now only 1 is left:( I need to start saving my vouchers towards a new one as if this one happens to break too there is no way I could work and as hubby still has no job thats not an option.

    Just got my rota for next month and we all have rubbish hours so going to have to think of something good to boost my earnings hubby is just being his care free self as usual but i have so much I need to sort for new arrival we have hardly anything remaining as I was told I would not be able to have more children so gave away to charity shop.

    Hope everyone is having a productive day xxxx
