I know i was bit embarrassed with fil with me as i wanted to delve in the baby clothes and childrens but he would have thought i was a bit odd
my camera is now ready and i am off to take my snaps cant wait to see if i manage to get any good bids

i know what you mean about being addictive i shall be going again next week to get some more bargains.

Ds and I went to the local harvester for dinner tonight, we got their earlybird meal, so salad bar each, burger and chips each and a drink each came to £11 in total :beer: I know it was an unnecessary spend but it was nice

Total spends today = £11 harvester, £1.70 drink / ice-cream for ds at car boot sale and £2.25 at car boot sale.

I have got 6 watchers so far, but 2 of them are on a bin item :rolleyes:

mmm...that sounds like they have one to sell too and they are just looking to see if you get that price doesn't it? Does BIN cost any extra and does it just run the same time as usual?

benbenandme

They dont cost any extra SS, just sometimes things seem to go better that way, rather than people who umm and aah about whether they want it, or those that watch it in their ebay and then forget to bid :rolleyes: You can choose how long you want it to run for the same as auction style listings.

Today I got paid £104 for that batch of mystery shops I did several weeks ago and also £30 arrived in my account from my paypal account :beer: I have sepnt about £8 on bread, milk and bits, but it saves me trekking to Mr.T's and no doubt spending a fortune :rolleyes:

Up to 17 watchers on ebay now and one bid of £3.99 Ds has gone to mums tonight for tea and I'm off to my parenting course, its the last one tonight. Today I've spent £1.97 on cards/stamps and 60p on a cake. I did get all my ironing finished last night but tonight I must get it all put away :rolleyes:

I have done a survey for a free fiver from a m betting site, and I am now only 60p away from payout on onepoll :j

Car is booked in for an mot and service next wednesday, gonna be hugely expensive but needs doing Today I have spent £24 in sainsburys on a top-up shop that should keep me going until after the weekend, and £1.50 on a sandwich as I had nothing to put in one this morning :rolleyes: One more 99p bid on ebay too.

Ds is at his friends house for tea tonight so I'm enjoying a mooch on here before I go and collect him

£5 tonight from a free bet :beer: Other than that its been a dull day, spent 60p on a cake and £2.30 on ds swimming certificate and £10 in tesco but I did get a till spit giving me £6 off if I spend £40 The £10 included a water bottle for me (£4), I bought one for ds and its the first one I've ever found that doesn't leak :rolleyes: and a necklace for me (reduced to £2).

I'm utterly exhausted again tonight, I haven't been eating at all healthily recently and I'm worried about dad and its general end-of-term-stress all rolled into one I think :rolleyes:

I'm not surprised you are exhausted. It is hard work juggling everything and all the extras as well - working and running a family/household is difficult enough as it is, but on top of that you are doing extra moneymaking stuff, and you have family worries too......it is bound to take it out of you.

I know how exhausted I am.......and I've not got an ill father to be worrying about.....so you must be absolutely bloody knackered.

If the end of term stress is contributing, at least that will lift shortly, and you can hopefully recharge your batteries a bit over the summer holidays.
