    Happy New Year everyone.

    OH came home early yesterday, thinks he has the flu. I am glad I had the flu jab now. Is it just me or does any of the rest of you find it really hard to be sympathetic when the men are walking round using that tiny little boy voice, we even had the pretend shivers lol, teeth chattering, the works. He still took his roast dinner (left overs from day before) up to bed and polished it off and he has got up for work this morning (double pay today being bank holiday). I slept downstairs to give him a good night (could here the snoring through the floor boards so glad I did).

    My head isnt hurting this morning so I will be able to go and get on with some sewing after I finish on here. I really need to get some bits done for the shop.

    Happy new year everyone. Has anyones chow balance shot up overnight? Mine has added b about 15 quid and can't see why at the mo. Not that I'm complaining.
  • Morning everyone. Happy new Year.

    Yukkibear I was just logging on to ask the same. My balance was £3.50 yesterday, I added 5 new reviews, so expected it to be at about £6 max, and mine is at £45. I first thought an error, but now I am wondering if they have changed the day they do premium fund? Otherwise perhaps a surprise for being really active on the site last month so we keep at it? Who knows. Usually the account balance page updates to say why, so just keep checking there.

    Resolutions wise - same as everyone else really. Lose weight, exercise more, take more time out for myself so I don't keep burning out every few weeks like I have been. Starting with today, a 2Km hike through some local woods to find some geocaches with the kids and dog.

    Have a lovely day everyone. x

    Happy New Year Everyone.
    There is so much energy on this thread I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up but I'll have a go!
    1 I've registered for Shop & Scan
    2 Got my savings account sorted.
    3 Going to list on Ebay later today.
    4 Got my savings box and emptied my purse of coppers.

    Will look down the survey sites and ask for a referral when I can.
