    So far today I have - cleaned inside of car and hoovered it and cleaned FIVE bikes!!! :eek::eek: (three to sell but the others are the ones we use.) now having a wee rest! I also discovered that in garage I have a new paint roller and tray still bagged and new brushes! so that'll save a few pounds.;)

    Also discovered all sorts of [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] treasures out there so should hopefully some of it will raise a few pounds at a car boot.

    Gorgeous day here and doing all this stuff outside in the sunshine is so much easier than dodging showers!:D

    Ta Beanie, I've written down the bike names as well so I'll have a wee google later and work out what ages they are for.

    Went to a garden centre this afternoon but didn't buy anything - too much choice and I've decided I'm sticking to spending only when necessary (and yes wine is a necessity!). Transferred money back from Bingo account so I don't end up spending it some night when pished!

    oops, I ate mine and I'm having a wee glass of wine now!

    Remember the only buying necessities pledge? Just found myself on a cosmetics website and nearly bought things - stopped just in the nick of time.

    Off to do some comps and try to stay out of trouble...
