Flying gleefully into 2009 - One Fresians adventures in debt-busting

Four items sold on Ebay this morning - £13.16 + postage for me :j

I am selling loads of No7, Benefit and MAC make-up (From my spendthrift days) so hoping to make a decent amount over the next week or so.

Need to head to Asda later anyway (Where Post Office is) to make sure I have fruit and snacks for the week ahead so will post items then if payment has been received and also some of the MusicMagpie stuff as OH didn't make it to the Post Office earlier.

After that its all a bit random. But this may well help:

[FONT=arial,helvetica]Gwd lwc. Ai hop ddat yw can ryd ddys and ddat yt meiks sens tw yw. Iff yw can ryd ddys, dden yw ar dwing ffaen and wil haf no problems at ol yn lyrnyng awr ffaen Welsh alffabet.[/FONT]

Can I try and translate Moo2Moo, I love this kind of stuff (although rubbish at languages)!

Good Luck! I hope that you can read this and that it makes sense to you. If you can read this, then you are doing fine and will have no problems at all in learning our fine Welsh alphabet!

Hope that is right, it makes sense when you know the basics - an no alcohol was involved

Hope you are doing well F_F and having a good weekend!

Having a lovely weekend, thank you!

About to take massive amounts of things to the Post Office :eek: to begin making my fortune!

*geek alert*

Just downloaded OpenOffice onto my laptop to make up a spreadsheet of Ebay sales

No real news from today, made vegetable soup for lunches this week. Looks good, still have to give it the taste test. I put onion, carrot, peas, tatties and leeks in it, so it should be tasty.

I'm currently bored and counting down until the Apprentice Final :j

Woo!

I'm glad Yasmina won as Kate was so bloody boring. Sirallun was right about her being quite robotic in my opinion. Mr Fresian thought Kate would win, and kept telling me I had "backed a donkey" all the way through so I was smug when she won :rotfl:

Food news

Due to cooking c*ck up dinner consisted of crisps and a choccie biscuit, so the less said about yesterday the better

Normal service will resume today.

Ebay/The Great Declutter

£20.13 now [strike]sitting in my Paypal account[/strike] withdrawn from Paypal - profits from yesterdays items :j I also now have a spreadsheet which adds up the amount paid for the item and postage, then subtracts Paypal costs and postage costs. This lets me see at a glance if I'm setting postage correctly. My current method is "pick a number" but I now have the template for letter/large letters and a set of kitchen scales, so future listings will be better :rotfl:

In current auctions I listed more [strike]stuff I don't need[/strike] quality merchandise yesterday, so the figures are now:

19 items listed
6 with bids on
13 items have watchers including 8 with multiple watchers. One item has nine watchers and two have seven

Nothing sold from Amazon/Green Metropolis so far.

Other DFW Gubbins

All MusicMagpie stuff now sent away so I'm just waiting for the cheque for those. Our CDs may well now fit in the three boxes and two CD racks we own now:D

Massive pot of vegetable soup made yesterday for the weeks lunches, to try and keep on track with healthy living idea.

***

Shall dash now as need to do washing and possible clean bathroom before work. I might just sit on my *ss and play computer games though. Time will tell....!

Don't let the Mondays get you

FF, I found the Guardian Apprentice blog last year and I love it. All the random nicknames make me giggle, especially the Blessed Margaret and St Nick!:rotfl:

Evening f_f and all f_f diary followers!
Just catching up with your diary, have had a hectic couple of weeks so not had a lot of time on here and really missing my MSE fix!
Good news on your friend's wedding front and you getting to dress up in a lovely dress for the day, how exciting for you. :j Also a good incentive to keep up the healthy eating. Have you thought about looking into the Slimming World Plan - it's a good easy diet and I think easy to do on a budget, and it does work, I know, coz I lost a stone on it, but I fell off that wagon too and need to start again! :rotfl:
Really chuffed tonight - I won £5 on OH's free scratchcard, and then £5 on a Take a Break one for me with some money left in that account. :T
Also, 4 weeks tonight I will be on holiday. Can't wait.:j
Good luck with your Ebay sales and your car bootie. I am so lazy for doing either, I just wait for the charity bags to come round the doors and get rid that way. We did a car boot sale once many years ago but I really didn't like it. I was shocked at all the folk trying to get really good stuff for next to nothing. Good luck with it.

PS Sorry rambling on so long. Told you I missed my MSE fix though!

I'm sure I read somewhere that you are popping to York?!
I'm from York!! small world!!
