    I couldn't sleep last night so was putting some CDs onto Amazon marketplace at 1am! 3 of them have sold already so I have just got back from posting them! That's another £15 off the credit card bill!


    I really must look at doing this. Have lots of books and CD's, just wonder if you sell much on Amazon? Is ebay a better bet?

    Went to town and bought my new socks, three pairs of stripey ones for £2 and three pairs of sparkly ones for £2 - all from local market. Also stocked up on bargain veggies and fruit at the market - got about 3kg of carrots for 25p so carrot and lentil soup now cooking in slowcooker, also going to chop and freeze some in meal sized portions. Spent another £2 on fruit and veg but got lots of bargain stuff and 6 free range eggs.:D

    Off to make flapjacks now before I go for a swim and jacuzzi, then will have alate tea with OH.

    Bad day on the money front. The car had it's service for the MOT and it will fail the MOT unless it has a new thingummy jig - damn and blast £151 paid so far. It goes back on Wednesday for the thingy to do with brakes and the MOT heaven knows how much that will cost. I've only budgeted £200 and it's a bit close to that for my liking...
