    Just my luck, I have sinusitus again :( I have had painkillers, hayfever tabs and decongestants (cheapy alt to sudafed) and am currently sat in me bed resting lol. I can cope with it in the day, but I was up and down in the night, and I dont cope well without me sleep lol.

    Thanks for the points, always much appreciated :D

    jak, well done for paying off the overdraft, thats certainly worth celebrating.

    Cleosmum, poor you, hope you feel better soon.

    Am still feeling yucky but have done my mystery shops and got my free wine, which will be great when i feel like drinking it. Have just had two mystery shops cancelled that i was signed up to do though, which is dissapointing, however i managed to find two more with a different company instead. I have also picked up another audit and am signing up to some more auditing companies as i would like to start getting into auditing and merchandising work.
