Morning, I've got a second 99p bid this morning and I got 2 x 20p on the scratchcards, all helps! :beer:
Today we're going to clean the car inside and out as its filthy, maybe a couple of trips to the tip, possibly a trip to the beach and I promised ds we'd make some fairy cakes. We saw dad yesterday as he's going out today with my brother so have done the fathers day bit already

Nipped to a car boot and got a beautiful Monsoon angora wraparound cardigan for £1 and a pretty pink Hobbs cardigan for 50p, not sure whether to keep or ebay, but three of the pink ones have sold recently on there for £13, £18 and £25 :beer:Mortgage Total: £50,550/ £75,000

I reckon I should ebay them both, as much as I like them I did not set out to buy stuff for me, and if I keep going to car boots and coming back with stuff for me I'm never going to clear the clutter or make money and there will always be another car boot and more bargains to be had
