    Thanks MFB50 - I am loving how Christmassy I feel - I might have been playing some Christmas songs yesterday from YouTube as I shopped online :o:D - Definitely haven't been forgetting Nectar...soooo annoyed at how long I forgot about it for!

    Adpoints people -get your 250 points in this weekend before the week 'resets'

    Just had another two set of quotes back. One set ranges from £300-£1100 and the other bit of work has come back at £400 which I'm pleased about as I was expecting it to be more like £700. We've had this guy before and have been pleased with his work so I'm happy with that.

    Today I'm mostly pottering around the house, tidying bits up and still got the office to sort out :o I need to sort the office out as then I can start wrapping presents!!!!

    No OP news, just working on the Christmas and house fund until the end of the year really and spending as little as possible.

    Good morning :)

    Just a quiet weekend for me. Usual chores and house jobs mixed in with a large dose of chill time!

    Have a great day

    And you Book Worm! :D

    I am meeting some friends later this afternoon. The office doesn't seem to be any tidier but by procrastinating on the office, I seem to have made headway with eBay hurrah! Finally started listing a few things, still lots to do but it is a start which is always the hardest bit for me! Will probably spend most of tomorrow eBaying which is why I need to spend most of today tidying the office.

    Send me all your best office-tidying vibes please folks! :D

    I've just been over to fill my quota and I did some but all the ads are now showing 0 points. I've only been able to get 223 points :(

    Yes BookWorm and HDK - still some teething problems on Adpoints again this week but slowly improving.

    Yesterday I:

    - half tidied the office (thanks for the encouragement BookWorm!) Just need to get the other half tidied now!

    - did another review on DY, now on £13 towards the £20 Amazon, going to try and get that this week.

    - scheduled five things on fleabay :D hurrah!

    Today I will be mostly:

    - eBaying

    - office tidying

    - hopefully wrapping some Christmas presents (if said desk is tidy).

    - probably sleeping since I've been awake since 3.40am in 'new' money:eek::eek:(clearly practicing for the newborn!)
