    welcome baby oliver to the moneysaving family hope your well hopeless. No money making so far today but money saving. Was getting compost out of the compost bin untill a field mouse stopped procedings. I'm such a scaredy cat i'm scared of all animals and mice espically they can move too quick. Hoping when the partner gets back he will get rid of it for me so I can finish the job. Would normally spend about £10 on compost so if I can finish the job that will be great. I wish they would find somewhere else to live. Have been putting this job off for so long for that reason.
    Positivity is the key there is a reason why life happens. Find your rainbow and ride it.
  • Hi I am new to taking part could you put me down for £10 a day please, thank you

    Congratulations hopless :D hello and welcome to the world baby Oliver :hello:

    I'm extremely broody and all these babies are making me even worse lol.

    Right... did a few surveys last night, might have already updated about these but due to the fact I'd had a bottle of red wine can't really remember if I did.. (first drink since New Years day.. detox! :o ) I've not had a good weekend SW wise and Ive been quite naughty. But last Tuesday was my first weigh in and I was gutted to only loose 1lb cos I'd been SOOOOOO good that week, so this week I was really good up until Friday and then I've gone slightly off the rails! Food wise was ok yesterday it was just the wine. But Friday I accidentally ate a burger king :o Hey ho, now going on the wii fit lol.

    I appear to have digressed slightly, do apologise! :D

    Hello all *big waves!*

    Feels like I've not been on for aaaages, although it's only been a few days! At least I have some updates though.
    First of all is that BABY IS HERE!! :j:j:j He was born just perfectly and we are all home safe and sound!


    Ahhhhh congrats monkey nut!!!! :T

    Good amount there Izzoh and well done! What's the score with writing reviews? It's something that I have never looked into before.

    Thanks Blue Cow, in December they doubled the amount you could earn and had special promotions dooyoo & ciao are the ones I use. Just used helium until I could redeem as they are strict and want original articles that you can not cross post, whereas I can put the same review on Ciao and dooyoo. I rate and read other peoples work a lot as well so it is all give and take. Generally speaking, I love writing and the fact I can earn a few pennies is great! Some people earn loads though if they write, read and rate constantly.

    Baby Oliver born Friday 13th :eek: at 16.38 weighing 7lb 4oz. Both me and baby happy to be home!!! :beer:

    Congrats to you Monkeynuts!!

    YAY!!! congrats to you as well Hopless! We are in baby season! :):T:):T




    Most of my 24 items or so are ending on ebay today. Had some very strange questions this time around but considering I didnt get free listings it seems I am doing quite well. I started my prices higher this time to try and cover the fees but I can report back after I work out the actual profit!

    Asked for Cash for clothes people to pick up the sack on Tuesday... it is HUGE!!!!!!! It feels like so much more money should be made with all th clothes but really the prob wouldnt' sell on ebay and I have no time for bootsales and none will be going here until summer. So every penny helps.

    Happy Sunday! x

    Congratulations Monkeynut and Hopless!!! :beer: :j :T :j :beer:

    Ordered my free meal from Dominos (the diet resumes tomorrow! :o). It came to £24.99 - I had up to £25 to spend so made the most of it, lol. So will add half of that - say £12.50 :D

    Dominos messed up, they brought my order... and someone else's too!!! :eek:

    I didn't notice at the time, it was only when DS1 asked what kind of pizzas they were that we realised we had one extra! :o Not adding anything as I wouldn't have ordered it anyway, but it's a nice surprise - and means that I don't have to cook anything for tea ;), lol.
  • Ordered another £5 amazon voucher from swagbucks. (This month has been really slow for me on swagbucks for me this is only my third voucher this month. On the flipside superpoints has been building up more quickly than it used to, so swings and roundabouts.) Will add it when I receive it, still waiting for last weeks one though so it may be awhile.

  • Whoohoooo!! Finally something to add. £10 Asda gift card from M*ximiles :j Must have arrived during the week but got lost amongst boyfriends paperwork so only just found it today.

    Just checked when I will get my £50 cheque from NewV*ista and this should be here this week, so will get that in the bank as soon as it arrives. Not doing any more on this site, has taken me 3 years to get this :rotfl:
    Really must try to find time to get my head around SB this week as lots of you seem to be cashing out quite frequently on there.

    A couple of bits sold of Eb*y for 99p :o Was hoping for more as all named stuff but suppose it all helps. Not had time today to list anything else but have relisted what didnt sell.

    Right better go, got to do some work, am salaried so no overtime for this but hoping it just eases the pressure tomorrow
