Well my idea of selling more on fb wasn't that successful. I did make a few sales, but not as much as I wanted. I still have a couple of weeks for folk to buy it, but after spending so much on stock I wanted to see something back.
There some good bargains if anyone fancies a look? I know I can't link my fb page here, but my name is Applepieandcustard designs, if you fancy having a nose of maybe a wee share? Xx

Oh sorry it didn't go well.:(

I made sales of £3 last night on there. The way I look at it now, £3 is better than £0. I am thinking anything I sell now is a bonus.:)

Hi all,

Sorry some of you are having family problems - I don't know why but things always seem to flare up round this time of year - well they do in my family anyway!

I must admit I'm not feeling as Christmassy as I wanted to. I've been out carolling in a shopping centre today with my choir, then came home and watched Elf on tv, plus have dealing with some promotion bits for my Christmas book which is out on Friday - so really I should be in the most xmassy mood ever but it's not really happening. I've enjoyed all the things, it just doesn't really seem like it's going to be Christmas in just over two weeks. Ah well, hopefully I will start feeling more into it as the week goes on.

Great big christmassy hugs to all that need them! xxx

Im really annoyed as the spy watch Santa is bringing DS is £24.99 at toys r us, the cheapest anywhere! (£39.99 everywhere else) but no stock online and they said it wont be in stock for another 8 weeks! None in store either except for over 250 miles away :eek: and one 13 miles away which would be fine except for its in Bayswater which is Central London so a pain in the bum to get to! Free delivery online (no minimum spend until midnight tuesday) plus a £5 wys £30 code (on hukd) so could have got a great bargain! Also decided not to get DS the Skylanders starter pack as we dont have the money (he has enough presents really so trying not to feel too guilty!) and other people have managed to get £20 and even 98p ones from Morrisons, none in any near me. Just feeling sorry for myself at missing out on bargains! Feel really sick too and having cold flushes so think Id better just go to bed and hopefully wake up not feling so blah!

Moneysavingmumofone try a Manchester store and I can pick it up for you and post it on if that's any help. Hope you are feeling better in the morning. Night night xxx

Evening all.

Somehow we seemed to have had the most perfect day.
For me to get some shocking news...

(Hope you dont mind me off-loading here. Just you guys seem so understanding...Seems recently all ive done is moan:(...)

My mum called me today, She's been told that my younger brother (18) nearly 19, Has decided to just quit the armed forces. So now hes completely job less, Living back with my mum, In a very depressed angry state. This isn't great for my mum considering she's suffering with clinical depression. Today, My brother has announced he's got his girlfriend pregnant. Worst of all, Both are jobless, Homeless (Meaning they are still stayng at parents) & Brother has just got a £400 amount limited addition car he's expecting mum to help pay for...

Now normally i would say they are good / hardowrking young'ens, But recently they seem to have lost their drive and expect their parents, Siblins to do everything for them. With a baby now on the way this has understandly killed my mothers health progress. I dont quite know why im posting this...Maybe for understanding, rant, Support but felt the need to get this off my chest :(rotfl:

Not wanting to sound like Pollyanna but there s a few positives. Your brother inevitably would have got posted out to Afganistan and your Mum,s mental health would have suffered. A new baby is a joy regardless of timing and the housing situation will be solved once the baby is born at latest. The pregnancy may help your Mum as a distraction . Don,t really understand the £400 issue tbh but overall there,s a lot of blessings there to focus on ...and you might as well as what is done is done..plus isn't Christmas really all about a baby anyway ? Hopefully now you,re over the initial shock you are feeling better about it all.

As for me I finally did some Christmas shopping yesterday ....... Even for me it,s a late start. I,m working Christmas day and for the first time in years I won,t be balancing working with fitting in cooking Christmas dinner as the new BF is cooking for me and DS ......and possibly with unexpected lodger who arrived this week fleeing domestic violence joining us too. Thankfully he,s a good cook and is really excited about giving us an amazing day........ Suddenly I feel Chrismassy and the tree is going up today !
