    Tibawo - Yep clicks and surveys are getting done ok by me hun. It's the reviews I'm struggling with. Just can't find the motivation lately. :(

    Foxy - I hope things work out for you all hun, and the short time doesn't last too long.

    Mum2one - fab bargains there honey. Not long now until your Mum and Dad's Golden Wedding. How are the preparations coming along?

    Hello everyone else - I hope you are all well. :)

    Dora Jar - unfortunately Young Poll has ceased I believe. DD had £19.80 in her account and it's just gone. The account has been closed and all log in information won't work. I've phoned up several times, but someone answers and as soon as I mention YPoll, they hang up. Something fishy going on there I suspect. :(

    Susan - How lovely to 'see' you again. I didn't get any message so I hope you don't think I was being ingnorant. I'm very well thank you. How are you after your op? Is everything ok now or do you need any more? How's DD and DS and OH of course? It must have been Jan/Feb last time we spoke. Lots to catch up on. :)

    DD1 finished her Uni Course today. Her mark for her dissitation was brilliant, Just waiting on the results for the whole course now, and getting all set for her Graduation. Aww my baby girl is going to be a teacher - I can't tell you how proud I am :D DD2 (9) is extremely shy, and she's coming out of her shell a bit more now she's growing up. OH just plods along (literally) and I'm still sticking at the money making. Not a lot of time to post lately with everything else going on.

    Well done on your weightloss Susan. I've lost quite a bit of weight lately too... but it's the keeping it off, I have trouble with.
