    Not too bad then, feels like I've done an awful lot more than that though. I did pick up in Sainsburys earlier a pack of 3 white poloshirts for school for ds for £1.75 and a new pair of swimming trunks for 75p (they start swimming tomorrow at school) :D

    Off now to begin the nightly battle that is bedtime :rolleyes: :D

    Tomorrow is new sofa day, I'm sooo excited :j :j
    Today was a good day until I went to collect ds from school, to be told that he had said f***ing hell to an adult helper at school today :eek::eek: Naturally I was mortified, tried to ignore the fact that it was the mother of the child who has been teaching ds to say blooming hell for the last week :rolleyes: ... am really disappointed in him as he has been doing much better recently :o He has been lovely again tonight after school and was fab this morning, I didn't have to tell him to get dressed or anything and we even left 15 minutes early this morning because he had got ready for school when I asked rather than having to keep asking and then running around like a demented chicken for ten minutes ;):D

    All my ebay parcels are posted except for one who hasn't paid yet :rolleyes:

    Forgot to mention today was a nsd, I did spend £1.85 on ebay postage but that was officially paid for by the buyer not me ;):D

    My new sofa has arrived :j :j :j Its lovely and squishy and I can see me having many lazy evenings falling asleep on it :D:D

    My last ebay person has paid up today so I will transfer the money from paypal tonight. I must start getting some new items on there too. I have already planned in 2 car boot sales to visit this weekend to get some bargains to put on there. I figured as theres not much matched betting going on until the new football season starts that I may as well focus on the ebay side of things ;)

    Today has been a nsd too :T Ds seems really tired tonight, so fingers crossed he will go to sleep a bit earlier tonight :D
