rufus - that sounds an amazing bargain, and having family collecting it even better, can't wait to see what you make.

I'm half way through my first assisgnment, plan get part 2 finished 2mor, (one left!!).

Miss hoodie is gone away for the night, little mini break, her friends family have a tourer, theyve taken Miss Hoodie with them 2day, coming back 2mor, so quiet without her Bailey was moping earlier.

It be her 1st sleepover with that friend, + her 1st time in a tourer, had a text earlier, theyve had a great day, been playing in the stream, riding their bikes, on the playpark, so great as its freedom that she can't have locally. xx

Coooooor! Isn't this perfect weather to be sat thinking of Christmas?! Outside it's blowing a gale and pouring it down, but I'm curled up with a cuppa and looking out and planning all sorts of crafts and plans. I love this sort of weather, especially from the inside looking out. definitely a winter baby


The only problem is that it's April and not December! Boo!

hi all - school holidays so i can try to do some money making. I think my target will be time on internet rather than amount as i'm getting concerned over how much quality time i spend with the girls.
i normally do a stall on the market today but as it is very windy have given it a miss as i would be chasing jewellry that's blown away rather than sell it!
Also sorting out what needs doing in the house as we've had two busy weeks with family birthdays and weekends were my poor liver was being hammered! [including my own 40th!]
Howeever my head is all confused as because we broke up on a tues and not a friday i can't shake the fact it is not saturday!

We had some rain yesterday afternoon, wasnt too cold, sunny again this morning but its raining again now.

I have done the £2.50 for the day as my C balance went up over that by this morning. I have re-suggested a product on there too which they rejected and told me to do it again, so hoping it will go on this time. I wrote out some more too but wont put them on until I know if this one is going on as dont want two on at once.

Couldn't believe the snow this morning, thou washed away with the rain, thou bet Miss Hoodie got a bit of a shock this morning with the snow, the mum texted to say they don't know whether they can get the caravan off the site. xx

Its been awful today, ds has been at football camp and has come home shattered and is now lying watching tv under a blanket!
Sold a couple of bits on ebay, haven't really got that much left to sell - we sorted out the garage at the weekend and tipped quite a bit, have a couple of boxes left to do the market when the weather gets warmer.
I am up for the £2.50 a day challenge this month, but think will try and combine it with the ebay challenge.
We are going through a few changes at work and its very tiring, but got to think positive and hopefully you guys will help me through it and keep me money motivated!
My oh thinks I'm bingo obsessed. I am trying to only play the free games now, but its easy to deposit a tenner here and there, but I will end up spending all of my winnings which isn't the point!
Got a couple of birthdays coming up and a holiday in June, although the holiday is paid for in full and my bingo winnings from last month have sorted out the spending money, so I can concentrate on the birthdays - all presents are bought its just down to what the kids want to do about parties. DD is paid for already - got a great deal on groupon a while ago, her party for June was booked in January lol! DS wants to go to pizza hut with a couple of his friends which I can cope with I think!
Waiting on Mr T to deliver this weeks shopping, ooh he has just pulled up!

Well I've just sold a few bits of clothing I didn't want on eBay for around £20 after fees etc also collected two £5 amazon vouchers off swag today and am up to 157sb again so that's the 2 birthdays taken care off still need to get into the other sites I'm joined upto need to make as much money as possible as I'm still not in work so have no income other than £200 a month. Hopefully back in work next week maybe.... I love this weather makes me think of Xmas I'm already excited and were only at the beginning of April oops

Well done on the swag vouchers kayandy. I have had three so far this month, really pleased with it. Someone worked out that if you can get 65 points per day you should be able to cash out two voucher per month so I have been trying to do this. I have found it not too bad, just doing the special offer vids, the poll and the noso every day gives a jump start and i make the rest up with sbtv if I can, and hopefully get a couple of searches in as well to help out. I have been doing a few surveys through them as well, they are on Paymentwall on special offers. Also Peanut labs sometimes have videos on there of a morning and may be through out the day too. Sorry if you already know this but might help someone else trying to make up points xx
