    I can sympathise with the snakes and ladders, it's usually Frustration here though, don't mind that too much but Top Trumps is awful!

    well done on all you've managed so far though. Merry Christmas.

    Back from church (ds was a bit fidgety :rolleyes: ), had tea, bath, fed the reindeer (neighbours looked at me as though we were nuts :o ), read "the night before christmas" and ds is well away in the land if nod now :beer:

    So, still on the list ...... actually all I've got left to do is finish wrapping the presents ;) M&S finally delivered the rest of the order sometime after 5pm while we were out at church, they left it on the doorstep which I thought was a bit dodgy as lots of people go away for xmas and if I had gone away it probably wouldn't still be there when I got back or it would be soaked (was in a cardboard box), but then I suppose at least they can say it was delivered by xmas :rolleyes:

    Amazon have taken the money for the Wii too so my bank account isnt looking so healthy anymore :o I've got £70 to last till the end of the month, well I've got £70 in my current account but the bills account is a bit overdrawn so it will have to be moved across I expect. I need to have a cheap week and avoid the sales!!

    I played Super Paper Mario earlier on the Wii and it was great, a kiddie version of mario, well kiddies and people like me who are rubbish at games ;)

    Oh, and those naughty elves have been making a mess again while we were out ;):D

    Hello all ... I've had a lovely couple of days, feeling very relaxed, have eaten lots (havent drunk as have been driving ;) ). Tonight I've been catching up with sales shopping (John Lewis) and have just done a survey for £2 which means I have now earned enough for a payout, so have just requested £11.68 :j :j which will go into Januarys pot when it arrives :D:D

  • Glad you and DS have had a good Christmas :)

    Well done on the survey payout - if you don't mind me asking, which survey site(s) do you use? I've just registered with toluna, but would be interested in trying others too.

    Cheers,
