    Quick update...i'm absolutely starving and sooo ready for my shove as much grub as I can on my plate and in my mouth without looking like a greedy pig buffet.
    i usually work 10-3pm but worked 9-5pm today and my wee feet are rather tired, just heading for a soak in the bath, today i have eaten toast for b'fast and 2 wee apples and a wee banana at 2.15pm so I'm more than ready for wrapping my mouth round a curry!

    Re pink shrimps: My nephew who is now 25 is probably traumatised by them...when he was 4 and I was 19 ( and believe me it doesn't seem like 21 years ago!) I loved pink shrimps and worked in a wee corner shop, I asked the owner to get me a box of Pink shrimps at the cash and carry, took them home and ate them, ate more and then more again.......think gluttony! Nephew was in bath and I was so sick.........pure pink sick! Some were nearly whole, I had eaten them so quickly! he was standing in the bath, screaming and screaming with horror!
    Hope no-ones eating their tea!
    For my 20th b'day he gave me 20 pink shrimps as my gift!

    Have a good evening,Mx

    Rudolph Day, ok, i'm going to list the next few birthdays, can't think too far in advance, my head doesn't like it :rotfl:

    Sister - journal jar (not sure how much it'll cost but can't be that much? I'll go to ikea for the jar and wilkos for the journal)
    FIL - Sweetie hamper thingy, i've got a lot of sweets and chocolates left over from christmas so going to use them and just buy some other bits and bobs to go in it, it's his 40th so have to make a bit of effort.
    Brother - no idea! :rotfl:
    **********************
    Spent so far = £95.45
    Money earnt so far = £60.67 ebay + £12 boots = £72.67
    So I need another £22.78 to be money neutral, hopefully i'll get some more off the things still active on ebay and i've got a lot of Avon make up to list when I can be bothered. Also going to recycle three old mobiles, loving the new tool MSE has done, can see where I can get the most now without going on each website :T Should get about £100 for all three phones so that's good.

    I've had a really good day today, was up "early" again - early for me anyway! Did some jobs this morning then went into town, my backs playing up big time now so not going to be doing much this evening. I did tell my OH i'd have tea ready for when he got home but he'll be home in about 30 minutes and I haven't even started, oops! :rotfl:

    Got a cheque off the inland revenue today for £265 :j :j I was expecting it, I do love the tax man sometimes! :D I was thinking of putting that in the money neutral pot but we've decided to put it in the savings, we're close to £2000 (i've never had so much money in savings EVER!) so we're planning on going on a little holiday later in the year and I really want to use some of that money for the wedding (we're not engaged or anything yet :rotfl: But we think we'll probably get married early next year so I don't want to blow this money on crap when we can use it for that)

    Ok off to make tea now :)

    Hi everyone :hello:

    Love your plan for a Xmas swapsee PLM, count me in:dance:

    Been at my m&d's most of the day making wedding cards for the order I'm doing this week. I took over their dining room whilst they kept DS2 entertained ;) Still got loads of work to do but should get most of the rest of it done tonight once boys are in bed.

    Lovely to see you back Rusty, fab bargains you found :T

    Shelley, no idea what to say other than I'm still thinking of you.
    :wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:

    You've had a great day Hayley (apart from your bab back :() :T

    You're so much more organised than me with knowing what you've spent and what you've made, well done you!!!

    I need to sort out my mobile phone contract and change it, should save quite a bit and have a phone to recycle for cash.

    Keep up the good work Hayley :D

    Rusty - Sorry if this is a waste of time but Argos sent me an email about their sale & I noticed these scooters. I think they may be too big for your little girl but thought I'd better tell you about them anyway.

    Thankyou Marg, She is too little for that style as yet. She will be 2 at the end of may and the ones I am looking for are from 18 months and have 4 wheels and are small if that makes sense? Thankyou for looking though :)

    Rainmac well done on getting the work stuff done ;) x
