Give me under 5's any day:D I now have just one teenager (17) left at home and much more stressful than 4 under fives:p

You mean it is not getting any easier? :eek: I just put almost 4 year old into bed as she was screaming her head off. Very tired little monkey. Want to swap?

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?

I personally find Amazon better for books/CDs/DVDs and ebay better for other stuff.

One important thing to consider is that Amazon do not charge you fees until the item is sold. Ebay charge you listing fees so you have to pay them even if the item doesn't sell. If a few items don't sell you can end up out of pocket.

Am I last???

nope not last, here I am with a few minutes of today to spare!

Not a great weekend moneysaving so far but could have been much worse too.

I had a haircut, i haven't paid for a haircut in about 2 years. this was a cut and colour £30 & it looks great. I could have paid double or maybe even tripple that in some places I'm sure. My head feels light again, no more headaches! yey!

My friend paid for beer for me (I needed it after seeing the show the second time) I'm the one paying for it now though... He stayed at mine (my friend) and we were still up watching bad films after 7am this morning. I think left on my own with no need to work I'd become nocturnal.

Plus side for everything. The last night of the show was tonight so from now on hopefully OH should only be kissing me... Fingers crossed everyone!

I should try to get some sleep, I have my last day of Samaritans training tomorrow! I get let loose on the phones from next week. Argh!!!! So scary!

I've had a pretty good DFW day I think...

Planned our week's meals this morning and did the shopping for the whole week for £42 (instead of the usual £90!)

Have also taken the decision to get a full refund on our holiday we were supposed to be taking in 2 weeks, so we'll have £650 back to use on MOTing and taxing my car and my OH's van. They've messed us around so much on flights with changing times, dates AND airport, they've offered us a 100% refund if we'd prefer to do that. We'll also now save the money we'd set aside as spending money. I'll miss my week in the sun though ... (

Ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at my Mum's house which saved me any form of outlay;
Bought my Grran's birthday presents which cost £20 - she seemed to like them;
Went to the football today and didn't buy a coffee;
And that was it.
