    Never sold on Amazon but I know on Ebay you can see how much they are selling for so maybe do that first. I assume on Amazon you could do a search and see what prices others are on there for at the moment.

    Might be worth looking at Play.com too as I know you can sell on there and lots of people will be using that site for Xmas presents.

    Evening!

    Fairly slow day for me today, just about to check all my online accounts, as something is going mental with all my dd's and standing orders from A&L, and its starting to annoy me as I'm showing as a negative available but a positive balance, but theyve all taken their money before the dd/so dates so im really annoyed!

    Going in to pay all the monies on thursday, and should either get the keys then, or the 8th, depends on if the washing machine has been fitted yet.
    Got to get some boxes together and make a start on packing up things that we dont use etc.

    Cooking spag bol for dinner and got some other lunch bits on the way home from work so that was £13 altogether and should last over a week, got some top up veg as well. Need to do the online shop as well, and need to put together a meal plan to use up as much of what ive got already. saves losing anything from the fridge/freezer when we move then....

    Morning!

    Nothing exciting in my day really. Had a niggling sore throat last night which this morning has developed into full blown hell on earth! am well annoyed

    Need to get showered and dressed and head into town as need to pay my abbey zero c/c, so thats £60 to spend today, also going to go into Boots and get DH's secret santa gift for him, limit is £5, and he hardly knows the person so I figured you cant go wrong with toilettries really.

    Should be back by early afternoon, so want to do some tidying up, and then I'm off out this evening with my work colleagues, cinema and a meal as our xmas do. All very PG rated as noone really drinks LOL..... be nice though and we get £50 toward our night out from our company so probably cost less than £15.

    Then my parents are popping round to collect DH's car. Theirs has gone belly up and they are driving up North for a visit with family and need a car, so they have offered to pay for the MOT on DH's car, so they can use it, which saves them hiring a car, and saves DH paying for the MOT.

    Got an appointment tomorrow to go and pay our monies for new place at 11am. not sure if we are collecting the keys tomorrow or monday, as the washing machine needs to be installed, but then again that might have been done already.

    Got £200 left in the bank and all that needs to come out of that is my mobile phone bill of £18, and food shopping.
    Will try and get my meal plan done this afternoon and order food online for tomorrow.Trying for as low as possible so we dont have loads to move, and save some money obviously.

    Hi CAFC, how annoying are banks!!!!!!! argh!!!!

    Well I have listed a dvd box set for sale on play.com, so will see how that goes!

    I'm up to 4865 points on dooyoo gonna try for a couple of reviews today :)

    Have done really well with not spending money on rubbish, the only money we have spent is on bread, milk and fags for OH (he has completely given up drinking during the week so cant really expect him to give his fags up.....YET! lol, he has also cut down drinking alot at weekend to which I am sooooo proud of)

    I forgot to mention yesterday, I went into work on monday night and found out i was meant to be off!!! how gutted was I!!!! i decided to stay as I was already there, and we are back to just the 2 of us doing 4 peoples work :( I think another meeting with the big boss is in order ;)

    Thats really bad with your work, it feels like its only been a week since you had to talk to your boss previously and was promised quite a lot of help...
    Thats really pants

    Hope your box set sells soon.
    I need to get on dooyoo today as well, they took on one of my suggestions so i really need to write a review on the product.

    I'm trying to control my spending on rubbish as well.... lunches are my big downfall. Am racking my brains trying to think of ways around it LOL, I'm just too lazy to make it in the morning and then eve if I do make it, i never want it whilst im at work....DH always takes his in, but he does eat some pretty nasty stuff so i just cant bring myself to do that as well LOL

    Well i think its about 3 weeks about since we spoke to her and for a while it did get better but all the agency staff quit because they cant handle the work and there pay is poo, and the woman who usually works with us is off sick all we know is its serious so guessing shes gonna be off for some time :( It just makes me sooooooooo angry argh!!!!!!! and still not heard about going on nights either :(

    On a brighter note OH is better and back at work but we are gonna be skint for next few weeks whilst we get back upto date. My christmas decorations and tree are up so its all so christmasy i love it!!!!

    my dooyoo is the same as my name on here

    Glad OH is feeling better at least. Such a shame about your work though, when one things goes right something else goes belly up, just to keep the balance eh? LOL well thats what my life feels like...

    I really cant be bothered to leave the house but I really need to pay my credit card bill...... i forgot to do it yesterday, like a spam, when I was in town at work....

    I dont have a xmas tree....... theres actually no point puttin it up yet anyway as we'd only take it down in 2 weeks to move....

    Shame your not having a tree what date you moving? xx
