Am rather excited, I might actually finish my list, won't put a cheering smiley just yet though, I wouldn't like to jinx it.

well done with the tidying PAID. you can come to my house when you've finished

Tirl £56 extra is nothing compared to what you've already paid off. i believe you can do it.

tirl - you go hun, I am sure that you will be able to do it

Thanks starnac and PAID for your belief, but it's going to be very, very tricky as there's not much manouvering room in my budget so it all needs to come from extra money that I make...

starnac

you've made quite a bit of money off ebay and amazon lately though haven't you? i'm sure you'll be able to keep it up.

starnac

just out of interest what snowball do you use? i've never done it before and wouldn't mind having a go

What really bumbed up my ebay sales recently was festival tickets that I won, but couldn't attend. Amazon seems to trickle in now and again. Have started doing quite a few comps and selling most of things that I get. Soon stuff that I have to sell though will dwindle to nothing...Must find other money making schemes...

Have worked up a right old sweat taking three, yes THREE bags of rubbish down to the bins (am on third floor and, did I mention, the bloody lift is broken (has been for about 10 days - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr))

Right - mission is to finish the tidying bit by 5.30pm, should be doable, kitchen looks lovely, bedroom is almost there and just a lounge just needs a quickie now

Not sure whether my shame can take it but I might post a before, mid-way and after series of pictures for my lounge, am frankly disgusted with the 'before' and the mid-way doesn't look too lovely either.
