    Sounds like you're all doing well on this SB thing! I'd love to know what it is, but I really don't have the time to do any other survey websites at the moment! hehe :) I'm awaiting a £40 payout from one site and almost have enough points for another £15 voucher from another which will help! :)

    I wanted to do a car boot the other day, but the weather let me down..hoping to do one next weekend! eBay got me a few pennies in, but some things just didn't want to sell :/
  • Is this the thread where everyone posts their christmas makes or is that on another one?

    Last year I found this fab link which showed all these items - really good items, may I say - that people had made for craft fayres etc and were showing their wares on here before they sold everything. I have a feeling this isn't the right thread though.

    Can anyone help please? I would love to find the thread for this year.

    Thanks

    Xmas Saver!

    We're back safe and sound, thou absolutely shattered. Miss Hoodie absolutelyloved the holiday, had fab view from our room, full view of the swimming pooland also the sea. It was lush.

    I have come back a burnt brown shade, despite using suntan lotion, Misshooide made 2 new friends, brother + sister (8 + 7). they were inseperablegoing to mini club, in and out of the pool.

    I think the highlight was Miss Hoodie and her antics, - she rode a camel(shes her mother doesn't do things simply!!) the camel decided to get up beforeshe got on it, so the two blokes lifted her up and over, she loved it, we bothfed a giraffe, and she fed an elephant. For the 2 weeks, it was like having mydaughter back. Thou we've had tears she didn't want to come home,

    This is a brilliant thread, please may I join in? I always end up rushing around the last 2 Fridays (pay days!) before Christmas and not getting things I'd like to, and also being totally penniless until mid-January, missing the bargains in the sales too! I'd really like to get ahead as it's my daughters 4th birthday in October and I'd like to do something like a small party for nursery friends, and we also have another child to buy fit this Christmas, though he'll be 8 months then and technically his presents will be more things he needs/to make me feel better!
