Just back from my sister's...had a good evening playing Buzz quiz on their new PS3 and a few glasses of wine;)

Went to Morrison's by sis house today before we came home and spent £30 on our stuff for the week so that was an improvement on last week:D Need to tidy up now, get ironing done for the week and update my diary with weekly spends.

I listed a few old PS2 Singstar games on ebay on friday and one has sold....£12.50 into my holiday fund and then yesterday a pair of gym shorts sold for £5 - £17.50 towards my hol then!!:T Must find more stuff to list. I know we have a lot of summer stuff I can sell, but it's a bit early yet I think, will hold on a bit 'til the Spring to list that. I haveto pay £300 of holiday by end of March sometime, so will see how much I can make by then:p

Anyway, off to tidy up and get house a little bit organised:cool:

Another Singstar game sold for £12, so now £29.50 in my holiday fund:p
And I earned an hour overtime being a dinner lady today as 3 were off sick - they must have been desperate to ask me as I usually say no - I enjoy my hour lunch break too much;) So another few pounds to add...£7ish I think.
Need to get some more stuff on ebay, but it's hard to find the enthusiasm:o Arghhh tedious job, but love it when they're listed and I can check on bids/wwatchers:rotfl: Yes, yes maybe I need to get a life......:p

*Hee. Congrats on the holiday. Must get back into Ebaying. You're doing ace!

Hooray...another NSD at last:T So that's 15 this month so far....and will hopefully still squeeze a few more in! Going to tyr and have NSDs tomorrow, Thurs and Fri - should be do-able. I do need a pot of natural yogurt to go in Fri's curry but I would have bought it on Sun but Morrison's didnt have any, so not counting that, it should have been bought on Sun (is that cheating??!!!)
I posted my ebay parcels today and have the money coming from Paypal - £60, some I owe to the girls though, but made a good bit for me so far.
Dinner is some chilli/bolognese out the freezer, couldn't tell what it was so brought out 2 bags from the freezer, they look different:eek: so hopefully both girls will like one of the 2!!!
Em off to Brownies soon so nice bit of peace for me. I splashed out on a book that arrived today - Study Skills for Foundation Degrees, must make sure I'm up to the challenge;) So will have a look at my book later.
Scratchcards going very well - I have £9.90 on Littlewoods and £2.40 in Take a Break - so will be able to withdraw the L/W money in a couple of days - off to my holiday fund!!!
Ok off to tidy and get girls' dinner.

NSd 16 today:j
Just done a survey for £1.50, scratchcards were 25p and 19p today - on £10 exactly with Littlewoods so after tomorrow's card will be able to withdraw the £10 - not bad for a month!!!
Had an email and text today to say the Virgin card I applied for has been approved:beer: ...It's a 0% BT one so will move some of my loan money onto it...save paying Lloyds the interest. I had a reply from Lloyds re my PPI - basically I can't get it back! I said that as I have a pre-existing condition I shouldn't have been sold it - but they sent me a copy of a form I signed saying I'd told them about the condition andwas aware I couldn't claim for that...oh well, was worth a try:o I still think they pressed the loan onto me - I went in a couple of weeks after my ex had left, as I needed to separate our joint acoount, and I ended up being given a loan for £4k - when all I needed to give the bank was £600 to cover my half of the overdraft. Hmmmmm...not fair really, I was a useless thing at the time, but hey bit late now.

Have listed 2 things on Amazon - was trying out Music Magpie but lots of my naff cds weren't even on their datatbase or they had tons of stock already so I gave up!

Tomorrow won't be an NSD as just remembered I need to get the girls passport phots for some cheerleading competition carsds.grrrrr this darn hobby is costing me a fortune right now:mad: But Fri will be an NSD, prob the last one of Jan, unless we stay home Sat pm...which is a strong possibility actually:rotfl:

Anyway, off to hurry girls up before Waterloo Rd.

KM you are an absolute star!!! I had some free photo paper that came when I bought a printer cartridge (via Quidco of course) - so now have a shhet of photos of each daughter....I've saved about £8 probably from not using those photo booths!!

Thank you sooo much:beer:

I must be mad....I listed 15 cds on Music Magpie....for the grand sum of £4.07 hahahahaha:rotfl: ...but hey £4.07 better in my bank than having the cds sat in the shed getting damp!!

What with my free passport photos too I'm having a great evening:j Yes, yes , yes I should get out more.....;)
