Thursday was a promotion on superpoints for double the usual amount of spins... not that I got that many from them lol.
Not much to update here, bought another present for dd's christmas presents, an innotab for £54 after discounts and quidco factored in. Thats her pretty much sorted this year, I have about £100 in mothercare/elc vouchers for a kitchen and play food and £40 in toys r us which will buy either storio books or innotab games etc. Just the Disney Christmas PJ's and an outfit for Christmas and then that's her done.
Ummm spent a fortune getting the car fixed for MOT, but on the bright side that is absolutely everything sorted with it and it's a reliable car. Now I'm concentrating on making enough money to carpet the hallway and bedroom and then enough for a holiday as dd's nursery wont allow us to take her out of nursery for a holiday when she starts in Sept so a deposit for that would be fantastic.
Bit all over the place at the moment.. hope everyone else is doing well, have we all been making lots of money this month?
Can u please invite me to superpoints?

I remember those days of morning noon and night sickness Pips Mum! It used to be 3pm for me, without fail! Keep going, you know it won't last forever and will be worth it in the long run.
Am WAY behind on the money making this month, am just so glad that I have already got the holiday spending money sorted out, although am considering another Sun holiday at the start of the school holidays - all this rain is making me depressed, I need some warm weather :cool:
Work is still not good - there has been a parting of ways at the top and hopefully the final deal will be signed tomorrow, we've had six weeks of unrest and not knowing what is going on, but hopefully the end is near! It needs to be, I'm shattered!!!
I can't wait for the end of this month to come, hopefully I will get my mojo back and be able to get my head back into money making. I don't think its helped with the kids being off - ds is also off this Weds as his teacher is striking over the planned 5 term school year being imposed by our council - its not to do with teacher's holidays, they are concerned with the impact it will have on the kids having longer terms, and I agree in principal - some councillor has made his mind up what they should do and hasn't consulted parents or teachers which is causing the problems!
Ah well rant over! Off to do some swagMotto: You gotta be in it to win it!:j

Santas Challenge April
Here we go ladies, the nice time of the month....
Were start with Miss Hoodies Challenge.... The Bedroom
Miss Hoodie has suggested hows the bedroom looking, have you got buts under the bed that shouldn't be there?????
Is there a corner that becomes a junk corner that shouldn't be????
The Wardrobe - Remember that top or skirt you wanted but never wore, can you make some magic and change it, whether its a sewing machine altertion (rufus) or jazz up that blouse with new buttons.
She run out of suggestions at that point!!

Amazon
have you got any books that you don't want, - trade them in, go to
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/seller/sell-your-stuff.html
I'm not sure if its only one £5 voucher per book or per person, but if its one book and there is more than one account in the household, there would be nothing wrong with hubby selling a book... (don't forget he owes u the £50
One way or another it hasn't been a good month so I think we need some me time, - take up a new hobby, or start something you haven't done for a while, read a book.
Birthday / Xmas preparation
Check May and June's birthday, to see whether you need any cards, paper or even presents.

don't forget keep an eye out for any bargains, xxxx
