    Well I spent all afternoon in a&e and the maternity unit :( I'm fine but we spent £3.50 on parking, 1.70 on snacks and £12 on food for 3 of us (managed to get a last minute sitter for dd).

    And the plumber came, rescheduled for Tuesday as he didn't have what we needed :/

    Happytails: Hope you're well and taing it easy.

    Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

    Hi everyone!

    Sold a few bits on Ebay today, best sale was a maternity dress i bought for £15 in the sale. Took tags off, never wore and sold for £15 plus post so apart from Ebay fees i havent lost out much there :)

    Had an annoying buyer from France insisting i post some items she won to her in France (i only post within UK and state this on every listing), she offered to pay the extra so couldnt understand why i said no. I havent got the patience to A) check prices for different countries or B) want the stress of a missing parcel overseas since you cant track them etc and C) i get to decide where i want to post for my own reasons Grrr.

    Suppose thats what i have to deal with though ;) Got a fair few bits to list tomorrow and all my listings that end tomorrow will get re listed if they dont sell. That includes the double buggy im trying to shift, its got 6 watchers on it so far but its the 3rd time ive listed it now :(

    Been having alot of braxton hicks this evening so trying to take it easy and plan what i need to sort my labour bags out (10 weeks left but my son tried to come 8 weeks early last time!). Ordered some Tens machine electrode pads off Ebay just now and bought my oil burner for my home birth so another 2 things off my list. Not got much to go on the Baby buying front so thats nice.

    Been tidying the kids rooms today and found about 15p in loose change :rotfl:every little helps!

    It's addictive lol! I have been hunting all day for ebay stuff. My husband is fed up of me saying...."Do you want this?"
    Waste not, want not!
    Slow and steady wins the race!

    My double buggy has a bid :j its got 1/2 hour on it yet so might get another bid yet, it has 8 watchers.

    Got the husband some gorgeous slippers for this winter on Ebay for a bargain price so quite chuffed with that (stems from the winter prep list i have going on, but i used PP money that id earned rather than bank account money :) )

    Relisted the stuff that hadnt sold and have started taking pics of stuff to sell (think i have about 10 items or so), more maternity bits and some of my Sons clothes that we dont need so fingers crossed ill get some good bids next week on those.

    How is everyone else and their weekends? productive? x

    Ebay listing started :( I find it a bit of a hateful chore but hey ho :rotfl:

    Anyone else found music magpie to be a bit stingy? Been offered £5.52 for 12 DVDs and a box set? Think I'm gonna go for it even if it is about half what I could get on ebay as at least I don't have to do all the listing, relisting, packaging and posting but it still seems a bit mean to me.....
