    Any tips for when I go back to work? I work full time with over an hour commute each way so by the time I get home, spends some time with Pip, have some tea and tidy up its bedtime!!! Which ones should I focus on?

    And does anyone do Superpoints? Seems like Swagbucks from what Ive read on another thread.

    I am having problems replying to personal messages so I am putting this here.

    I think I have e mailed everyone who asked about the cereal survey, but if you have not had it can you let me know? I will be on here for a bit longer.

    I got it thanks.

    Feeling rather wiped tonight. Think I am going to head off to bed. Crown day tomorrow. Fingers crossed eh? Everyone back at work and school too, and tonnes of housework/decluttering to do, but I am not going to focus on that one.

    Hi could u get the link for the cereal survey too please.
    It must be a day for washers - ours packed up this afternoon too, blew all the electrics downstairs as well! We do have the extended warranty on it so I will bd calling them first thing, guesses for how long it takes to send an engineer, my best guess is Friday!!!
    Back at work tomorrow, kids not back at school till next week :-(
    I have managed to list a few bits on eBay and fb today, sorted out my wardrobe, and found a receipt for a gift Id bought my bro and his oh ( they split just before Xmas) so I'm hoping mr t will give me my money back. If so that's a hefty addition to the 2012 fund!

  • Just submitted my first review to DoU so hoping it's OK! I've used different names on each site I've joined & just realised it might not have been the best move!

    I'm being very tearful this evening as I'm back to work tomorrow after being off on maternity leave since last March. :o I really, really want to stay at home with my son (daughter already goes to school) but in order to live I need to work. If I didn't work there would be no food, no bills paid and certainly no clothes for any of us. Hubbies wages cover the mortgage and his expenses and that is it. Life feels very unfair at the moment.

    Anyway, I've redeemed again on Swags. My first voucher hasn't come in yet but it does say 10-15 days (I think) so that will make £10 on Swag this last week.
