    Nat hun, what a horrid experience :( Get yourself a glass of wine, I bet you're still shaking like a leaf girl. Only had 1 experience of 'loosing' a child and it was when our oldest was about 3 at Centre Parcs, turned my back for literally 30 seconds to put the youngest in a travel cot by the side of the swimming pool, turned back round and he'd gone. The horror when you realise you can't see them is terrible, heart was in my mouth :( then over he sauntered with a member of staff talking away like he had not a care in the world. Once I knew he was ok, I of course could have killed him :-o

    Vino Nat, that's an order ;-)

    ps !!!!!! it, i'm on SW but I'll have a vino with you ;-) x

    Earlier this week I complained to Tesco about a bag of roast potatoes I bought before Christmas as they had quite a few black bits in them. Got email today to say they are sending me a £5 giftcard - the potatoes only cost £1. So can add £4 to total when it arrives. :D

  • Good Evening all, what a horrible experience nat, glad it all worked out ok. I am obsessive about locking our front door (we don't even have kids!!!) as it is a habit we have got into - occasionally when I forget I am genuinely surprised!

    Have another £30 to add, making £311.18 - woop!! I have been able to get on with stuff as I ave been off work (til tomorrow, booo - but get overtime, yeay!!) so am not expecting this to happen every month :D However, I am going to up my target to £620 for Jan, would be amazing!

    Good luck with the clicking etc - no surveys for me today, sad times!

    Oh Nat you had a terrible fright big hugs. Sweets right have a huge glass of wine and relax.
    £10.17 today from Q*idco and ordered a £10 voucher from V*lued O*inions so am well on target so far.
    Jan £10 a day £326.75/£310
  • Nat, that must have been terrifying for you, and your daughter, bless her. Glad it all ended ok though - what a relief!

    Found a whole 2p today lol...not counting it though as put it in coppers jar and will count when I empty it.

    Thought I hadn't got anything today but just checked bank account and an amazon payment has come in - £25.69 :j

    Really need to get my ar*e in gear and stick stuff on ebay though - have loads of stuff but just cba at the mo. I find when I put stuff on for 99p by the time I pay ebay and paypal fees, it's hardly worth the effort - anyone else?
    :D GOD BLESS DURAN DURAN :D
