Exciting stuff this ebay malarky! Well done!

Just a quick wave, I'll be back later, hopelessly behind.....

Me thinks we will have to look into the postage costs a bit more. I think we are going to treat the first couple of months as a learning curve and go from there.

Another 3 bits sold.

WOW...the e bay sales are flying in...great news.

E-bay has been ticking along nicely for OHs business. That has kept us quite busy every evening.

Managed to get Avon delivered to area 1 tonight just 1 person not in but should catch up with them. Off work tomorrow as 3 of the children have a teacher training day.

DD1 has got some book tokens she is desperate to use so hopefully will get that done over the weekend.

Just found out my HSBC card is at a whacking 16.9% (forgot it went up in March) . So after I've killed the Abbey National its off with that ones head. Will keep my eye out for a good BT rate. Also got the renewal notice through for the nags insurance. Seems to have gone up a lot so will have a shop around for that.

Got car boot mended today, will find out how much on Monday. OH is taking my car tomorrow for 4 new tyres. After my mistake with the post office credit card his pin number has come through and he's going to use that and I'll pay off the residual amount.

OH has got the car done. It needed 2 new front tyres and the track rod ends needed doing. The garage were surprised it passed its MOT. That came to a total of £192.90. I'll give it a couple of days then get OH to phone for a balance and pay it off. Should leave enough left to pay for having my horse rugs washed and reproofed. I know I could do it myself but they do such a good job at the repairs that I think its worth it. I had 2 rugs falling to bits and asked them to make 1 good one out of it and they phoned back to say they weren't that bad and could be mended. I get great service from them.

Worked for a friend for a few hours today absolutely shattered but hopefully a bit more in the kitty. Actually it will go towards the electric fencing bill, at least its not adding to the debt.

Taking DD1 into town as she got some book tokens for her birthday and is desparate to spend them. Also need to get some paper for the printer and thinking about a trip to Wilkinsons as they do cheap paper.

DD2 is away at cub camp. Hope she has a good time as the weather has gone really pants. DS3 is away all next week with school. Summer hols are breathing down my neck.

Cub camp will be great, whatever the weather!!! DS is off on a PGL holiday next week - I will encourage him to take clothes for all seasons!!

Seaxwyn

hi lucielle! how are you going to manage the childcare while you are working in the summer hols?

lucielle

Hmmmmm, thought long and hard about that one Seaxwyn. My mum is coming to stay for 3 weeks but it will be really hard going and I feel a bit mean for imposing that on the chaps. However my job is quite flexible and if I go in for 6.30am I can be finished for 11.30. First week 2 of the children are away at scout camp. We have a holiday booked for a week. For the other 2 weeks not sure yet. What about you?
