Hope everyone ok, not to bad here, can't believe the weather, started sleepting this morning, (west midlands), mid morning there was snow up on the hills!

The family outing today to do a tabletop sale, great as they give you the tables, (I'm greedy and have 2) but they only charge us for 1 - £4 and you don't have to get there to 9am! sheer luxury...
Made £20, it was quiet, thou £10 of that was Miss Hoodies, so shes very happy, shes going to reinvest it in some books she wants, I had a tear, shes got such a heart of gold, she can be a madam, but some kids would just go and blow it on sweets.

Money burns a hole in her pocket, I gave her £2 to spend, as soon as we'd unloaded the table off she disappeared, she got some bargains, she got a snakes + ladder travel game new, they asked for £1, she offered 10p and got it for 10p!
Then she brought some books, 2 for me, she took me to choose them, and 2 for herself, they were 50p each, she said mum said if I ask nicely as I've bulk brought will u do me a discount! she got for £1.
I got a brand new sealed puzzle WHSmith - looks really posh for £1.50, so thats another christmas prezzie sorted.

Shattered this afternoon, so 40 winks, and Miss Hoodie felt tired so she had 40 winks, me and her on my bed, dad downstairs on the one settee with the dog, (40 winks) and mum on the other - think was 400 winks!!

Got to get my rear back into OU for the next month, 2 asssisgnments due this week, 1 is 3/4 done, the other should take 2 days, that do for this week. This yrs courses finish after Easter, feel lost till next academic yr..

At least with all the hassle had with this chest bug, still lingering after a month, on antibiotics and everything else, and I am sure I have a reserved seat at the doctors... now acquired another reception lady that once say my first name, shes got my records up and searching for an appointment!!

Sounds like you had a good time at the table top sale Mum2one, glad Miss Hoodie got some bargains.

I redeemed on SB yesterday, pleased as I redeemed last Sunday as well so points have added up quickly this week.

Been doing some reviews for the 5 for £7 promo on C, I have put one on and written out two more ready to go on another day. Need to get two more done if I can, trying to get them done today ready as OH will be off tomorrow so we can go out if we need to and not worry about having to do a review.

Posted off a bag I sold on Friday this morning from my shop. Need to get up and do some more sewing but not while OH is asleep although I might go up and cut some bits out later on if I feel like it.

Well done everyone on the money making - I am no where near any of your totals - £10 a month if I'm lucky.

Got my TCB claim for the bingo money rejected - the bingo company say they are not going to pay something about numbers not corresponding. Although I did make a little money on it so covered my costs it is still quite annoying as I only really did it to get the cashback. I know others had an issue with this anyone else heard?

I have got to try and get my reviews on ciao so I can get the promotion money. I just haven't got the motivation for that one. Will need to push myself.

This month will be very expensive as I have my MOT and full service for the car due. Also we are having our son Christened at the end of the month and are having a family gathering which we are catering for. The hall we are hiring we are getting for free as I work there. We are going to get pre-made stuff from Sainsburys as for us it is not an option making it ourselves and it doesn't actually come out that much cheaper.

Good luck everyone. :beer:

Can I be cheeky and ask which Bingo sites as I'm very wary of signing up as last time I got nothing in cashback.:o

I'll be honest I'm not the most technical person, wanted to rack your brains.

This is the situ.

I originally had facebook account, lost all the details, so opened the one that I'm using, but facbook account A, is still on the system.

Managed to get back into the account about 6 mths ago, but now had an email from facebook about account A - on it add a friend - you may know.

Its got 2 people on it, one I know has traced me through it before (call him my stalker) and is under a court order not to contact me in any way shape or form, the other person I know, person 2 is not connected on my stalker facebook page,

Does that mean that stalker has been on the facebook and into the account, or it just because he has been in contact that way before.

It could be me over-reacting, but I thought throw it open for any suggestions. xx
