Hello ladies sorry I havent been posting lately have just been totally down in the dumps, must catch up on all thats going on now I'm feeling more myself!

ebay challenge has done well, i've just about scraped the £50 after fees. not done much moneymaking other than that, just rating on reviews mainly and abit of sb managed my 1st redeem on there

whoever was saying about all moneymaking instead of spending time with the kids, i'm with you on that one, i've stopped doing anything during the day now unless DD is having a nap, and in the evenings i make sure im not stuck sat at the computer all night now and im feeling abit better about it all. its all about balancing moneymaking and quality time i guess

Legend - if he's still got yellow spots it might be worth taking him back to the docs anyway to make sure it's completely gone rather than him being ill again in a few days.

Just about to do S&S and then I'll be off to bed.

Glad your feeling more upbeat cornishchick.

I have managed to do my shopandscan, write two new reviews and post them and do some rating - I must be ill! Really pleased with myself. Small steps for me but will get there.

I took him back Friday and as the tonsis arent red or inflammed they said just finish the course and wait! Ever so helpful!

Morning all! No snow here but its about in the area, seems to have missed us but it is bitterly cold! We just have rain but the cold may still make it dangerous out there in a bit!

Morning Legend - I'm glad you didn't get any snow yet. I must admit now to not only looking at Brum weather, I check where everyone else on here lives now So I knew it was about for you.

Claire - well done on two reviews. Well done hun. I'm so pleased for you.

CornishChick - I'm glad you're feeling more like yourself. I think some of us have been feeling like that for ages (kids versus money making balance) you watch out though, the money making creeps back in, and before you know you'll be back to square one. I'm exactly the same. We don't want you upset again, so make a plan re times, and stick to it. Sending hugs to you and little one. ((()))

Florence - woohoo. Well done honey. You're doing fabulously. I definitely need to join you on your ditching challenge. I used to be really good, as one new thing came into the house I chucked one out, but I haven't done that for ages. I really need to good sort out and dump some stuff - I feel a spring clean coming on.

Karonher - that's different then. At least you know it's from a reliable source. You go for it, at least you can say you didn't try then. Just aim for £100 at the start and then £150 will be a bonus.

Hiya JulieJim - How's things going hun?

Gotta go. I have to be out of the house in half an hour. See you this afternoon everyone.

Quick question for anyone who has redeemed on OP.... did you go for BACS payment or paypal? And how long did your payment take? I'm still only 15p away from redeem so hoping for this week!
I feel for anyone struggling with the children/ money making balance. I hate being sat at the computer when the children are around so limit myself to nap times or evening. I know that means I'm never gonna make half as much as some people do, but I figure anything I do manage is more than I would of had. I think everyone just has to figure out a balance that they're comfortable with.
Well done everyone on the eBay sales, I really need to get myself organised & sell some stuff!
Well done too all those managing so shift the lbs!!! I've been out fir dinner 3 times in a week ( birthday celebrations) plus cake so may need to join in soon, lol!!!
Glad the comp probs are sorted Elysia, we missed u! Have a good day!
I'm trying to post more but dont know where the time goes sometimes!!!
Ok, time to sort washing!

Morning everyone.

Just claimed £89 from chow this morning. That will be handy. I am also browsing ebay as DS2 wants a playmobil pirate ship that is £100 on amazon (currently £85) and there is someone selling a brand new one on ebay for about £55. Big saving. I am due a payout into paypal from viva tomorrow, so it is very tempting. It is hard to know if similar offers will be about later in the year.

I've got a bad head this morning. Shouldn't be doing anything really, but I can't seem to stop myself.

I'm going to make sure I take an hour off though in a minute, as I want to feel a bit better when I get DS2 from school in a bit.


ETA - Rufus - strange Q, but have you attached a picture to your account? I am sure that is needed as well to get your 50 spins per day.

emmad5689

Rufus - michelle is right one iof the things you must do is upload a photo for your 50 spins.

Well i'm at work again this afternoon which I really cannot be bothered with as havng a bad time with my youngest at the min and it is making me even more tired than usual. She is 16 months old and i think she has come to the point where she wants to feed herself which is all well and good but I need to know I am getting some good food into her so any ideas for healthy foods she can eat herself would be really great please. She puts up a really bad fight at breakfast time and isn't eating enough and then she is drinking everything herself now and she isn't drinking much either, have just changed her nappy from 7.30am this morning and there was next to nothing in it. On top of this she has learnt to climb and so has to be watched like a hawk but she is just standing screaming at me alot of the time for no apparent reason - kids are always a flaming worry! - sorry for the rant girls!!

Need just over 100 on sb and am nearly back to 150 on sp after redeeming last week, will cash out bout £45 on c tomorrow considering I have only been posting reviews the last couple of days on there I am happy with that, lets hope feb is a good promo.

Sorry to hear you are having probs Kec and Cornish hope you both feel better soon xx

Thanks Emma and Michelle, I have added a photo now, didnt know about that. I am 35p off OP, cant remember what I asked for last time, think it was BACS and think it was only option they gave back then, might be wrong though. I cant remember how long it took for the payment to go through though.

Been out and back again, was supposed to be doing some sewing while OH is out at his Dad's but I cant be bothered at the moment, I have a lot of things recorded on Sky+ so watching some of that while keeping an eye on the survey sites.
