My new 'no spending/get myself organised' diary

Nothing exciting to report here - NSD, all I spent was postage, resisted a can of diet coke for lunch:p

A few more bits have sold on ebay tonight - making me about £15 I think. I have 23 items left, but nothing that'll make me much I don't think...the watchers are hardly queuing up:rolleyes: Still, it's all stuff that'll just lie in bags in the attic if I don't sell, so a few pounds better than nothing. I should be like Benbenandme and get my backside off to some car boot sales to look for bargains to resell!

Hey Milly - just popping by. You're having amazing luck with Ebay! Well done! And some comp wins too! Amazing.
Not long until your holiday - I bet you're so excited!!!

Ebay is a little quiet lately probably people are thinking about holidays. Any little extra made will be a bonus for your holiday and decluttering the house as well. Hubby and I have done 3 boot sales in the last 2 months and I remember 2 buyers who bought at least 25 items off me all named items. I then had a little look on Ebay and one of the dresses that I sold for £1.00 she managed to sell for £8.83, some of the other items that she bought from me she only managed to sell for 99p swings and roundabouts. Well done on another NSD.

Shopping came from Asda this afternoon - free delivery, total was £64, £3 of that was some of the fake tan body lotion stuff, so £61 on groceries and my cupboards, fridge and freezer are lovely and full;)
This weekend we're going to my sister's, home Sunday afternoon. The girls will be with their dad next weekend - from fri til Sun, so all the shopping I have should be enough til then - just milk, bread and couple of bits of frit/veg. Determined to stay under the grocery budget of £220 this month - should be fine as we go away on the 25th:rotfl:

Not much else to report - spent £8 in Focus yesterday on 3 gro-bags, a holiday feeding block for te goldfish and plant canes. Spent £10 in Tesco on some bits and bobs and £12 in M+Co on reduced jeans for eldest and a top for youngest, jeans had £10 off, fab:p

Must go and do some ironing - it's piling up again:mad: Not much interest on all my ebay goodies.....darn:rolleyes:

Boo to ironing. I'm putting mine off until winter.

Hi Milly
Hope your having a great weekend with the girls, horrendous weather here yesterday.

Welll....what a start to my weekend I had.....
I went to pick up DD2 from cheerleading at 4.30 on friday - came back to find DD1 in tears on the doorstep - she'd gone out to see the rabbit in his run and he was lying there, dead:(

So.....DD2 and I dug a hole in the garden - took absolutely ages, ground was rock solid. But....I couldn't go near the rabbit, I absolutely hate dead animals, just couldn't do it!

On Sat my friend came round for a cuppa while girls were at gym and she kindly got him out for me - urgggghhhh, stuck him iin a box, he's safely in the ground now:o

Anyway, we went to my sis yesterday - I've spent too much, mostly on summer clothes in New look sale for girls and used a Next voucher I had to treat myself to a lovely coloured long necklace for holiday. Had Mcdonalds for lunch today too, so £11 there, as we took girls swimming but the pool was shut - so needed to cheer them up!:D

Really tired today - was up til 1.30 yakking with my sis....and some wine:p Early night, girls all showered, my turn now.

I'm off on a school trip to the zoo tomorrow which will be lovely - and Year 5 kids for a change, DD2's class - should be fun;)

Awww.....so sorry about the bunny, was he quite old? Nice that you buried him though, so they could say goodbye properly.

Hope you have a fun day at the zoo!! We went to a wildlife park on Saturday, had a lovely day. They had baby meerkats...I wanted to bring them all home!!

Hope you and the girls are okay after the horrible start to your weekend.

You all needed cheering up so a little spending spree was in order .

Hope your trip to the Zoo was fun and you enjoyed yourselves.

The trip to the zoo was good fun - nice to be with my daughter's class for a change! I was sooo tired though last night, was in bed at 8.45:o

Nothing much happening here...NSD today. Need to upate my grocery totals too, got a few reciepts lying about.

Another early night for me....roll on end of term next week:beer:
