    sadly not Bob, not a single bid as yet but we still have a few days yet and it was free listing so if they don't sell I've not lost money either.
    as for the rejigging... I've found a bit more money this month (expenses mainly) so it's not looking too bad and I still have some left over - how weird is that???
    I've seen a couple of houses that would be perfect for me and DS but not doable as yet because of the debt but I'm managing to stay positive and thinking "this time next year....".

    Still decluttering like mad, hoping there will come a day there's nothing that is neither "useful or beautiful"...
    ebay still doing nothing but two days to go...
    Thinking of going to see a house tomorrow, I know I shouldn't but.... and it's also spurring me on to get this place sorted out.

    oh gawd, will it ever stop raining! mmm...cue for a song. getting seriously peed off with the wind and rain today, not sure where to take DS as I can't go swimming at the mo (eye infection) and it's too windy to go for a walk really, every where I can think of involves spending money or a big drive which is too scary in this weather.
    Still no ebay bids but getting a bag together for the charity shop I think. Have ended the month with more money than budgetted for which I think must have been due to spending less on petrol as I had a few days off.:T and still haven't bought any alcohol although I have a had few strange gifts... :rotfl: :rotfl:

    arrrggghhh - how many times is this going to crash on me today?!?

    The wind seems to be dying down a bit but still pouring!

    Beanie, the gifts are strange alcoholic gifts that my folks bring me back from hols - they don't drink so I think they just buy drinks that look interesting...

  • The site kept crashing on me the other day as well. Lots of things to look forward to next year then after debts paid off.
