DFSD's motivational ramblings...

Grrr, I'm annoyed with myself... playing free bingo tonight with a £15 bonus, won £40 but thought I had to wager so much - I didn't - I just had to deposit and then withdraw again immediately - figured it out now and am £13 up, but it could've been a lot more. Oh well, it's better than nothing!

I received my login details from the survey company and had more than enough points for a £10 voucher, so have ordered one tonight. It will hopefully be used to buy a gift for someone from Amazon as we have a few birthdays coming up next month.

Just got back from a lovely family dinner but an impulse 'lets go out to celebrate that its the school holidays' kinda thing. so not a low spend day..But free coffee and limoncello as its somewhere where they treat regulars well..anyway think we'll draw our necks in for rest of weekend. Have a good one everyone..

£13 will pay for the bits and pieces you were going to get tomorrow, so that is good. It has been a very busy week, so I think an early night is in order. I'll maybe try to get some MSE stuff done this weekend. You might have inspired me to get another couple of things onto Ebay - simultaneous money making and decluttering is needed here.

Holiday sounds fab and always nice to have something to look forward to.

Your meal sounds lovely Brizzle, everyone needs a treat sometimes.

Good luck with the listings Chocs, mine aren't doing that great this week, but it's money I didn't have before!

We're up another £12 from the weekly Jjoy game today. 10p & 5p on scratchcards too.

We received our Sainsburys cards yesterday so the shopping we needed from Sainsbury's this morning has gone on those for double points. Just setting up the bank details to pay it off immediately too. There's no way a balance is going to be built up on that one!

Hubby is out for the afternoon, so I have set to and made him his favourite cake for valentines day instead of a card - sure he'll appreciate it much more and I begrudge paying £3+ for a card!

Also dropped a few bits of in one of the local charity shops; whilst I was there I saw a lovely immaculate cardi which I bought for myself for £3! I've never really been a charity shop shopper as I'm not a 'rumager' - I don't like to rumage through things, I like to buy and go, but at that price I think I might change my ways!

I sorted out a few more bits and pieces this afternoon and have listed one more item on ebay, well it's actually quite a lot of items which I've listed as a job lot - a load of craft and card making bits which I no longer need - hopefully they'll make a little bit of money.

Hubby's cake went down well... although I'd be surprised if it makes it to valentine's day!

Oooh cake, mmmm, I love cakes. I made some chocolate cup cakes today as a treat and I don't think they will last long either !

I've had a bit of a rest today after a busy week and still managed to get a few things done. I had a MS in a nice clothes shop where you get to keep one item. I ended up getting a more up to date version of a shirt I bought years ago where the style really suits me and I usually get compliments when I wear it which is nice. But it is a size 8 and I'm now a size 10/12. Well, OK, a 12 :rotfl:. So a less fitted version is good and the colours are a bit more up to date so I'm pleased with that.

Got some washing done so tomorrow will be ironing and housework frenzy. I also have a supermarket MS so I can stock up on a few things whilst there. I haven't looked for anything to Ebay yet, but we'll see.

Have a nice evening, and Hubby cooking tomorrow sounds good!

Mmmm, cupcakes I love baking and creating cake-masterpieces; it's so relaxing isn't it.

Glad you've had a nice day, mystery shop in a clothes shop can't be bad eh?! Glad you found something you liked in there too.

Well I've made another £6.72 tonight thanks to a bingo bonus, although I'll wait and see if it actually hits the bank account first as the rules were a little sketchy.

My ebay items have gone up a little again tonight; I'm holding out for the mad rush tomorrow! :rotfl:

Quite a productive day today so far. I've done 3 or 4 loads of washing (I've lost count!) and actually managed to dry most of it onthe washing line too. It's so nice (and much cheaper!) to get washing dry outside.:)

I've caught up on a bit of housework too and had an attempt at clearing the garage out a bit. Hubby has taken a car load of stuff to the tip this afternoon too.

We've also done a bit of cooking and now I'm attempting to list a whole load of cds on music magpie, but the website doesn't seem to be working. :mad: I'll try again later. We've also decided to sort out a lot of the stuff we have put aside for a car boot sale and take it to a charity shop unless the weather's nice enough to do one soon. We both hate doing them, but it's a good way to get rid of some stuff and make a bit of money, but we need the space at the moment really.

This week's round of ebay auctions has ended and we made £43, so I guess around £38 after fees etc.

I have one more item which will end next weekend; now off to wrap all of these things up for postage...
