    Cinny are you going to tell your Granddad about your topshop purchase?

    I bought it before I told him so reeeally, i could get away with it. But if he asks I'll have to own up! Although I might leave out the tights.. and the cost of postage..

    Completely agreeing with CMD, It's great you can fully move on and look forward to life with your lovely irish other half! :beer:

    Off up to my room to get some things to review for dooyoo, need to do my fitness DVD Today as well.
  • Ah I'm so pleased about the A&L account Dinah, I'm sure they're relief tears! Another step in the right direction (closer to OH moving over) :)

    When you put it like that Cinny I'm sure he won't mind!

    I think I have already spent my money before I've saved it, found an amazing sounding History trip to London, with guest talks from Adam Hart Davis and Maxwell Hutchinson, way more excited about the former though! I must resist!

    When is it most of you ebay items end, Dinah?

    It is a relief, it's just an odd feeling that it's all finally closed off.

    One more bid since this morning, brining me up to 29/98 and £126.73. About to start my 30 listings for today, been trying to get STP out the way first, nearly there but going mad on the generic rap. Will finish off tonight when I answer the ebay questions I think, time for a little cheering Jeeves & Wooster.

    Have ebay items ending in 3, 4, 5, and 6 days, then a bit of a gap and ones in 9 days too.

    Feeling pretty chuffed with myself so far. Unfortunately I hate listing items on ebay and wrapping parcels, hence why they always get left until last! First time I've managed to hit my STP target though.

    Just got £10 through from STP, still can't withdraw money from paypal though. If they don't sort it out soon I'm going to have to withdraw it to my brothers bank account and get him to transfer me the money.

    Asthma getting worse though, considering going to hospital to use the nebuliser.

    Oh dear, will you go tonight or wait till morning? Hope you're better soon!

    You've done really well today, I guess you're taking the rest of the night off? if you arent you should!!

    Got the picnic ready for tomorrow - lots of veggies and fruit! I've put £10 in coins from my pot into a smaller purse with no cards or so on, so hoping for a cheap if not NS weekend. My savings account should be open next week so I want to be able to put a biiig chunk of monies in.


    Night everyone! Have a good weekend.

    Have a lovely picnic Cinny, sounds lovely.

    Hoping not to have to go at all, but if it gets worse will have to go down tonight. Having to take the night off really as whenever I move I wheeze, so just laid here reading threads and chatting to OH on skype while he laughs at my brothers flambouyant review of a lemon drizzle cake on Dooyoo.

    Too wheezy to sleep, but at least my Ebay is up to £140.40, 32/124! Going to watch a film and knit a bit of OH's scarf, see if my body stops fighting me so much.

    Morning all. Going to take it a bit easy today. Hope you all have lovely things planned for the weekend. I'm feeling very down as I should be in Ireland with OH right now, and instead I'm stuck inside coughing.

    To do today:
    • Write letter to barclaycard
    • Write letter to Dell
    • Finish listing items on ebay that are already in the house (approx 15)
    • Do 50 Dooyoo tracks
    • Answer all unanswered questions on ebay
    • Finish sorting my undies drawer so my floor is clear again
    • Check box for CD booklet for stroppy amazon lady
    • Email nice gentleman who bought sewing machine which lost his foot and offer a full refund minus cost of postage and hope he accepts.
    • Sort one of the two 'to file' boxes
    • Do 2 dooyoo reviews on the books I finished, one of whose suggestions has now gone through
    • Mi-info
    • Daily scratchies
    • Daily surveys
    • One poll
    • Toluna polls
    Hmmm, not quite as easy going as I thought - how do I say this then make such a huge list everyday?!
