    Hi everyone,

    May be a bit late but is there room for another? :)

    Would love a copy of the speadsheet if possible please!

    I've joined every survey site going, aswell as cashback sites. I try and sell on ebay every month when the free listing days appear, and I'm a sucker for a voucher or coupon :D so hopefully I should do ok!

    Rufus - I hope you get lots on OP today :D

    I've been reading all the posts but have been too tired to join in much. Oliver just seems to cry or feed at the moment and it's exhausting me. I think he has bad wind as he'll be feeding happily and then suddenly start screaming and bringing his knees up to his chest. I started giving him Infacol yesterday so hopefully that will help him as he seems in so much pain :(.

    DH has got him for the moment to give me a break before he needs his next feed. I'm off to add a DooU review that I wrote yesterday.

    Hi NickyBo,

    Just wanted to say that another commonish reason for babies to act in the way you describe is 'Silent reflux'. Both my children have reflux and what you describe is very similar to what they have - they were also very sick with it. If things do not improve please go and see your gp as they can help.

    I'm sorry if I'm way off the mark but it may be worth checking.


    Not made much progress with the surveys as still keep being screened out. However, I have made £50 on ebay this month so not all bad.

    afternoon all

    just got home from shopping and used a fair few coupons

    my list

    bodyform 2 x75P off. they are on offer in tesco for £1=25p each
    dragon hot shots free tesco
    andrex washlets 90p off coupon=10p tesco
    philadelphia free tesco
    total=60p

    asda huggies starter pack free
    baby oil free asda
    nair hair removal free asda
    total=0

    (did have a problem trying to get the full voucher for the huggies starter pack due to the fact that they have a baby event in asda so technically speaking they are only supposed to let you have the £3 off not £5 as the coupon states. but as i know the woman that works there and i did make a point of saying that the store will still get £5 back, she went to see the manager and he let me off this time lol.)

    the other coupon i used was the aquafresh ulimate 50p off in wilkinsons so got it for £1.48 instead of £1.98.
    also on sale in wilkinsons are the glade candles @£1.84

    so for all of the above i spent £3.92 :j:j:j

    luv P

  • oh and just remembered that i redeemed £10 off shop and scan so that paid for my cat food.
    also had £3 in voucher in post as i made a complaint to bisto few weeks back due to the fact that i bought parlsey sauce but there was no parsley in it haha. so i asked for a voucher to replace the one that i have and they sent me 2 vouchers for £1.50 each. can be used on many different brands not just bisto, wish my post came early though, because i could have used one off the vouchers for atora today and had the rest of my shopping, ah well nevermind cant win them all

    Luv P
