Shower done, trip to tescos done, spent £21, car boot done, not much there today, got ds 4 Mr. Men books for £1 and got me a t-shirt for 50p. Half an hour to veg on here before I go and get ds

The ebay bits finished on approx £15 today, they were all car boot items that in total had cost me £9, so not a huge profit but it all helps, and I know its sad but I am enjoying getting bits and seeing how much they go for

I know what you mean i have some car boot stuff finishing today i was well pleased as i bought a cake stand off ebay for £23.00 and used it and now sold it 3 weeks later for £36.00 well pleased a £13.00 profit plus i got the benefit of using it at my own wedding.

Makes it feel worthwhile when you can make some money.

Have you any more items to list on ebay Ben Ben

Nothing at the moment, I've relisted the bits that didn't sell, but I am planning on a major clearout of ds bedroom ready to do a car boot sale, and possibly may unearth a few bits for ebay from there

A profit is a profit at the end of the day - and all those profits add up to making a very useful difference :T

I have been having lots of feeling fat days again recently, and basically its all because I'm a greedy whatsit with no self-control whatsoever So, its operation get in shape (yet again :rolleyes:), I did lose a stone last year and have put just over half of that back on again, so its back to it ...

I don't think I'll rejoin ww's as it was too expensive, but I will think about it, it may be needed for a month or so to get me going again I only have 5 days left at school then 6 weeks off, so plenty of opportunities to get out and about and exercise, and also the time to cook and prepare proper meals ... however, it also means theres more time available for snacking ... off to think about my plan

Have you thought about a pedometer BB? I am going to give it a go to see if I can "beat" myself each day and then effectively that should help keep fit as well as lose weight?

I did buy one from sainsburys but tbh its utterly useless Every time you check it it reverts back to zero :rolleyes: I may invest in a decent proper one from a sports shop as it would really motivate me to beat my scores

I went to a carboot today to suss it out and see if there was anything I could ebay a la BB! nowt there though in fact a whole load of junk.

in my exercise attempts I made DS walk to my folks today but then we got chips on the way back - whoops!

Ds has just taken a couple of photos of me in a bikini, one from the front and one from the side, and woah is that enough of a motivator to get me started :eek: :eek: I look awful So, as from now its lots of water, not many sweets / choccies and increased exercise :rolleyes: On tuesday we're taking the kids for a 10mile walk in the forest so at least that will be a good bit of exercising for me too
