congratulations Nickybo. that's great news. Hope you are both doing well.Good morning everyone.
I am very pleased to tell you that my baby boy Oliver was born on the 5th January. 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.

Hey everyone.
Hope everyone is doing well - have been very busy with work but think I have caught up on here now and with my emails. Just got an email from lovefilm for my free £20 amazon voucher - now just need to cancel the account now. Quidco emailed to say I will be getting about £11 cashback at the end of the month. Have completed a few emails but not sure how much I have earnt on each account now.
Could someone refer me to Shop and Scan?

Lindsay - you need to register your interest at www.volunteer4panels.com to join S&S. No-one can refer you sadly.
Savvy - No new reviews today - I couldn't find the motivation like Cornish. Headache is still lingering - I have them for days sometime.The bingo was Paddy Power (and scroll down to where it says Bingo) on TCB and it was £25.75 cashback
Cornish - sorry I missed you post earlier hun. Well done on the ebay listings. No-one rating on Chow or Dooyoo except us I think. I did a few hours this morning and got one rate back (on Chow) and I've had to struggle most of the day to get 32 on DooU.I :heartpuls M.S.E.Mortgage Free 18/01/10 13 years and 8 months early on a 20 year mortgage!

Congrats Nicky, so pleased everything went well for you. Big hugs to you all!
Just watched last weeks Sherlock, hadn't seen it before but I am hooked!
No money making for me today, did some study this morning, and took ds to the football this afternoon, he was so happy to have some time on his own with me bless him :-)
Being taken out for lunch tomorrow so hoping I'm back early enough to do some eBay listings although if I miss this one I've got plenty of 99p items to go on.
I'd be interested in the new bingo site too Elysia, can you refer?Motto: You gotta be in it to win it!:j

Elysia - Its so soul destroyer rating loads and only getting a couple back, I dont think people understand the concept of rating older reviews. I've just rated some of your older ones a few pages back... didn't realise the time.. woops! night xxMaking money for christmas 2012:santa2:0

Congratualtions Nicky! Welcome to the world Oliver
Hope you're both doing well and are home or soon to be home.
I haven't been spending a lot of time on money making the last couple of days. MSE stuff has taken over my life, from spreadsheets to money making, decluttering hamper ideas, surveys, points, reviews all along with uni and a 3 year old and I am thinking of taking on a job (interview monday) sleep shall be far down my list of priorities at this rate.
Anyway SB is coming along, I have over 200 points so far. Have another 1000 on MM, SP seems to be rather slow only on 52 there. Quidco is raking itself up nicely. Off to see some of the other things I could sign up for. I have things like resp*nse panel and have a few pounds in there but nothing significant.
Everyone else seems to be doing wellCredit Card: £796 Left/£900 October 2011 :eek:Store Card: £100 October 2011
