    Hi Everyone, I have joined the thread in the hope of making it to next Christmas with some money in the bank and Presents bought well in advance of the big day.
    Ellyse would I be able to get a copy of the spreadsheet please.
    I have already joined some survey sites and am slowly gathering points:)

    I hope to be able to share some bargains with you throughout the year and reach Christmas 2012 in one piece.
  • Morning everyone,

    Going to get on this morning as I am going to friends for the afternoon and tea.

    Going to put my review I wrote last night on and spend the morning on luny as there is never surveys over the weekend for me. Just done my 1st opinion of the year on there. Think it is going to be a tough one to get to payout I just never have the motivation over there!

    Have a great weekend everyone.

  • morning all!
    Woke up to a nice cup of coffee!
    Opening my business back up tomorrow so i'm having to do lots of sewing to catch up. been putting it off as i wanted a nice long break!.
    been doing it since march 2010 and the "part time" job ended up being a full time thing.

    just looking on Ciao to see a few more ratings on my review. I must have rated 30 reviews last night, so im guessing i won't get that back ;) hehe.

    hope you all have a great day and will check back in this evening to see how everyone's been getting on! some of my ebay things finish in 3 hours so im looking forward to a few pennies.
    will be adding more later this evening too! :D xxx

    Good morning everyone.
    I am very pleased to tell you that my baby boy Oliver was born on the 5th January :D. A day earlier than planned and not by c-section. After going 9 days overdue he decided to sort things out himself. I started with contractions on Wednesday night and had them all Thursday but I didn't think it was the real thing as they didn't feel strong or regular enough! At 7pm my husband finally convinced me to phone the labour ward who said for me to go in to be checked. Then things seemed to speed right up! I got to the hospital and Oliver was born about 50 minutes later, natural birth - no time for anything else! I have another tear but nothing like last time. I'm really pleased with how everything happened.
    Making money for Christmas 2012!
  • Congratulations Nickybo that is fantastic news. :j

    Hope your all well and enjoying time with your lovely little boy. So glad it all went well for you.
