  • Nicky - Hope today has gone well!
    Elysia - Hope you feel better tomorrow, well done on the surveys thats fab!

    So pleased there is a free listing weekend, given me a kick up the bum to sort everything I need to sell. Thing is, I MIGHT not make £50 this month, going to put things on for quite a bit and if it sells thats great, but if not I'll lower the price for the next free listing.

    Ahh Is that Hollie on the front page? :)

    All your items are beautiful. :D I noticed you only have one or two larger girls items, do you make 12 year old stuff? My DD is tall for her age - she's not 9 yet. You're so clever - I'm so jealous. I've love to be able to sew. I can barely do a straight line on my machine.

    yes! thats hollie :D

    not as of yet, i only make up to size 6 (sometimes bigger when i can get measurements from mummies). I had to limit myself as i was being bombarded with orders!
    hehe :D xx

    Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

    Hi This is a rant i do warn you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Just booked our summer holiday via haven (usually do sun ones but thought we would treat ourselves to a posh one!!!;)) SO i checked shop and scan a few days ago to see if they do haven vouchers, nope couldn't see any. Just booked it, gone onto shop and scan to get some brewers fayre vouchers for meals and it sends me to leisure vouchers page which shows that they cover Haven too:mad::mad::mad: Could have bloody paid for the whole holiday bar £10 with my vouchers grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Soooooooooooooooooo fuming with myself! But at least i now know what i will be saving them for next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not read anything on here today, just grumbling! sorry!!! I will go to bed and relax now!

    Hope Nicky is doing well after her section today. :j:j:j

    Evening, Looks like a few of us have had a few surveys through today :D

    I am a bit baffled as I have just done a survey for ipsos, and I'm sure the points usually credit straightaway, but this time they haven't....which is frustrating because I would have enough to redeem for a £10 voucher! Maybe i'm wrong and they do take a little while to add to my account, I don't think I've ever really checked before haha.

    I'm unsure what to do about advertising my pushchair, it is a double mountain buggy with carry cot, and retails new for around £800, I have only had it for 18mths and it has only really had light use, walking the school run and back again, the carry cot was barely used as my daughter HATED lying flat/not being able to be nosey, and much preferred just being in the seat part.. I'm just not sure whether to put it on eBay or try elsewhere first??
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.
  • Hi All,

    NickyBo - hope all has gone well today, can't wait to hear the news!

    I have been concentrating on mm at the moment as have never rated the videos and not really particpated in the panel surveys just done teh lick throughs so after a few people mentioned them on here I thought I would sort myself out and do a bit of catching up. Have now made another 1000 points just by doing the videos! And I'm still going. Need to do the same on Looney as haven't been doing the shhort polls over xmas.

    Then back to doing some rating on Chow and a few surveys too.

    Managed to get a £15 voucher from MyS and almost there for another £5.

    Went shopping yesterday and found a fiver! Looked round to see if it belonged to anyone but nobody was nearby or looked as though they might have dropped something. It was my lucky day! Perhaps I should have bought a scratch card with it!

    Hope everyone is feeling better, and managed to get things fixed that needed fixing.

    Nicola x
