Day 12 Part II

Yesterday my Pa bought himself a digital camera, with lenses and a case, he'd done his research and got it discounted, it cost just under £300. It is lovely, DS2 downloaded the software and Grandpa will have a lot of fun. I thought OH would adore to have one. And when we travelled it would be perfect. And Popeye was very interested, so I was considering it........maybe for his birthday??? :happyhear

Tonight I have his UK credit card bill. He needs to use it at times, but I have to pay it. So the statement includes his Skype purchases, his travel from Heathrow to home last month. And my birthday present, :eek: and a present from the duty free for me :eek: expenses for work that HE will get back in his foreign currency pay packet :eek:
And the total? Just a shade under £300 :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Two items finished on e-bay totalling £64.05
Sadly I messed up on the postage and it cost me 20p more for each one today.......
And sadly they all seem to be choosing Paypal and my Paypal fees have already reached £6.00.
I'll wait until all the moneys in, and count all the fees before I add it to my signature

And I'll put another batch on later this week.
I SO hate the packing up of them :rotfl:

This is what I was relying on to achieve my £1,000 - selling OH's toys

Day 13 - good thing I'm not superstitious :rotfl:

Diet went to pot :rotfl: ate rubbish all day. And yet this morning I had lost a pound, you'd think that'd spur me on nope.

Submitted MS report - but shan't count the £10 until it is received.

Failed to send the e-bay parcels because Frosty Knickers was in "one of those moods" so sent apologetic e-mails to those waiting and will send them 1st class before FK gets to work tomorrow.

Got home at 6pm, thought I'd do an hours gardening. DS2 and I wasted 1/2 an hour failing to start the wretched strimmer - again. :mad: :mad: :mad:
Though I did some weeding (bluddy carrots again) while he attempted. I think I have found where all the slugs and snails in the UK go for July. And I'm going to give up on the VERY expensive humane-bird-friendly pellets, I'm going to buy the blue ones and KILL THEM SLUGS.

But spent a lovely hour watching Dr Who with DS2 afterwards. Decided against going out, and am annoying him by claiming some time on the computer

Still no writing.......but I have ear-marked some time at the weekend

Don't use the slug pellets - spread coffee grounds round your carrots - I assure you it works! I had all but given up on my ability to grow anything at all til a neighbour told me the coffee grounds trick.

OliveOyl_2

hhmm :think:
At the mo I only make real coffee at the weekends, how long will the grounds last?

Will my work think I'm even more eccentric than usual if I save those grounds :rotfl: (I make them re-cycle etc, and unplug their phone chargers when not being used, even though we don't pay a leccy bill, it's part of the rent)
