    Hi Sarah, just wanted to say hello and let you to know I still read your diary every day even though I haven't posted in a while. You are doing really well, as usual, dealing with everything and coming off ads. I love the way you write and think a newspaper or magazine would be interested in your story. Have you ever considered this ? Might be a nice little earner ! xxx

    Oooh, how great would that be - you could have your own weekly column, sooo much more interesting than flippin' wags writing about how they 'popped into Gucci on the way to lunch with Ashley and Cheryl'.....

    Ellidee, that is such a great idea! IA, go for it! You know the reaction you've got from your adoring public here - in fact, you *created* an adoring public. You could for sure write for a local paper! Yay!

    PS can I have your autograph before you get really well known "out there"???:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hi IA,

    Have been away for a week so have only had time to skim your thread. Really sorry to hear about childminding.

    Apart from hope that all's well in the IA household.

    Take Care

  • Morning! We're fine! Ste was great and let me have a lie in til 11.30!!!! Sooo lazy but soo needed. lol. Especially as K now gets up just before 7 and wakes up Ash with her...*yawn* not to mention she woke up in the night because she was cold. :rolleyes:

    How could i forget the put in my diary about ebay, foxybingo and quidco?
    The ebay auctions ended yesterday.. grand total £48.36 not including postage :D 5 people have paid already and we have £43 in paypal :T Plus someone who bought our diddy bass amp is collecting it and bringing £11 cash :D Still waiting for 4 other payments :D

    We won £26 something on foxybingo last night! Got an email last night after doing some kind of survey through quidco which had £10 free credit with no deposit and we won the jackpot on our first game! Had to deposit £5 to be able to withdraw but we have £32.94 on it's way so I'm not complaining as we got our £5 back and more!

    We've broken the £40 barrier tracked on our quidco too! :D £42.64 at last check with £3.40 validated..

    Hoorah! :)
    Total 'Failed Business' Debt £29,043
    Que sera, sera. <3
