Hi Pipsmum, good luck with MOT, ours is having a service and its first MOT on Friday, its going to be expensive!
Good luck for OH interview tomorrow! x0 -
Pip is officially a big foot!! The little shoes from Ebay came and didnt fit so I took him to a well known cheapy shoe shop beginning with a B to be measured. And he is a 6.5F
Even the lady said, "ooooh he has got big feet hasnt he"
So I got him a pair of slippers to wear in the house to get used to things on his feet and a little pair of canvassey trainer type things for when we go out. Going to look on Ebay for some more.Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T

WOW!
We had the fundraising day for SANDS at work today. We did dress down for £1, bottle raffle, Quiz sheets, Cake sale and a large Cake auction and raised over £500! They were still adding it up when I left so will post correct figure when I find out. Work will match that so its an awesome amount! The justgiving page has also raised over £500 so all in all we will have raised over £2000!!:eek::TTheres still a quiz night, a karaoke night, a gig and a bungee jump to go so all I can say is WOW!:D
It was the little babys funeral today so its very sad but im so glad we have raised so much money for the charity and my friend is getting real strength from the support people have shown her.
I have just listed another few items on Ebay, mainly baby shoes from when Pip was much smaller, and not a big foot yeti! My other items finish onSunday so fingers crossed, going for £26 at the mo.
I cheated a bit though and have bought some of the grey postal packages. I got 50 mixed sizes for £3.81 with free postage. I dont know about you lot but I HATE packaging all the stuff up and addressing it all, it takes forever. So that will make the process much less tedious.
MOT tomorrow
Sure it will fail but will keep you posted.

Mummy - Bundles seem to go better but of course more expensive and hassle to post. Next items sell really well for example I have a dungaree set selling for £4.20 at the moment.
I heard the total late last night and you are not going to believe it, I didnt!
At the Northampton site alone we raised £1120!! Our other site in Hinckley has raised over £400 but still waiting for a complete total. So all in all with matched giving and the other fundraising there will be AT LEAST £5000 going to SANDS whuch is awesome!!
Off to MOT now, boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T

My car passed its MOT!
£300 of Advisorys though but they can be put on hold for a mo. So relieved as I wasnt sure how I was going to pay for it.Debt at LBM [strike]£17,544[/strike] :eek: £5700:TOver £14,000 PAID OFF :T

Well done, its such a relief when its over I always think.
Our little car is due an MOT in next couple of weeks but as the big car was towed to garage on MOnday I cant take little one off road for MOT. But hoping we sail through when it goes in cos the big car looks like it needs an engine rebuild (£800+) and OH crashed little car into a ramp yesterday destroying a wheel and exhaust (£100+) so money is very very very tight atm. Have seen house would like to buy as well but if engine needs rebuilding all my savings will be blown and there will be no chance of house 0 -
