            Morning. Had a weird dream about vampires. Think I've been watching The Vampire Diaries too much!
 I'm just about to start my morning meds. Just waiting for the inhaler to take effect first.
 Got to leave at 9am to go to my mums and look after my nephew as she's busy. I've then got to drop him off at his pre-school for 1pm as he's got his nativity play (he's a shepherd ). ).
 To-do list for today looks like this:- [STRIKE]Morning nebuliser and meds[/STRIKE]
- 100 questions
- Get the free toy car from Halfords on today's O2 offer
- [STRIKE]Empty the dishwasher[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Hang out the washing[/STRIKE]
- Evening nebuliser and meds

            Sounds like you are really cracking on, Emz:T. You have a lot more 'get up and go' than I seem to have at the moment. I don't seem to have done much recently but I still feel totally drained of energy.
 Could I be nosy and ask what all these O2 freebies are that you keep mentioning? I've been with Orange for yonks but never seem to get anything for nothing:(. Might be the time to switch to O2 . Can anyone get the freebies or do you have to have an O2 contract? I'm PAYG for my mobile phone (just a basic model which I use for emergencies) and that's my only involvement with Orange.
 Have a nice day0

 Hi CBC 
 It's O2 Priority Moments. Pay as you go O2 customers can get it too, but I think you need a Smartphone so you can download the app. There is a thread about it on the Grabbit board.

            Haven't done so well today. Only 50 questions completed and I didn't get the freebie.
 I had to run around this morning trying to find a shepherd's costume for my nephew (my sister had a really rubbish home made one and I didn't have the heart to send him in wearing that - it was basically a pillow case!!). Then when I took him to the pre-school he got confused and upset so I had to stay with him for an hour until my sister and BIL got there.
 Feeling really tired now, so an early night is on the cards. Just about to do my evening meds and nebuliser. Up early in the morning too . .

            Oops, I forgot to come back with a to-do list. Never mind!!
 Another day of running around including doing the school runs and taking my mum shopping (but she did get me a few bits so I can't complain).
 I've managed to get 50 questions done. I also won £10 on JPJ this morning and have just been paid £10 for a survey I did a while back.
 I'm going to attempt to finish off my Christmas shopping tomorrow as OH gets paid. I don't have too much to buy, so I'll hopefully get it all done in my local shops.

            Morning 
 No morning school run for me today as my sister is going into work late and leaving early for my nephew's Christmas party at pre-school. I do have to pick my niece up from school though as my sister won't be out in time.
 I'm going to hit the shops at 9am in the hope it won't be too busy. I won't have this mad last minute rush next year as I will be saving during the year, so will have the money in November to buy all my presents.
 Just going to do my meds and nebuliser and I just checked my Nectar account and that bonus 500 points from the eBooks site is on there

 Good luck with your shopping, I've got a similar plan. Had to wait until my pay came in this morning but as soon as the traffic dies down from rush hour then I am off to the supermarket for the turkey and trimmings

            Hope you get everything bought before it gets really busy Fmess 
 I am practically done now. I got my sister a purse and a No7 gift set (the massive one that is usually £65 but is now £32 and my mum is going to give me half) and I got a Rapunzel doll to finish my niece's gift off (was £30 but got it for £20).
 Now it's just a case of putting some cash in money wallets and getting OH's parents presents (I know roughly what, but need OH to get them with me - we're going to visit them tomorrow, so will go to a supermarket later tonight).
 I also need to get some more food and drink as I'm hosting Christmas day at my house (OH is going to his parents though). I've already got the turkey, so just need some veg and stuff for during the day and the evening (crisps, savoury bits, drink etc). I'll go late one evening for all that.
