Happy Birthday Mhagster!!!

Hope you're having a fab day :T :T :T

Many congratulations on exceeding the £75 target Rusty, brilliant :T. Are you going to keep going and see how much more you can get? I love the Easter pressies, your DS is very talented. If he wants some thin yellow and green ribbon for the bunnies please let me know and I'll send you some as bought reels for mine as it was cheap so have lots left .

Love the sound of your bed Hayley and £50 off the price, very good :j

sylphraven - wow, you've made loads of stuff, wish I could sew as my mum has a sewing machine I could use if I had a clue what I was doing

Having a quiet day at home today, going to start cooking dinner soon, roast pork today. OH is off to pick someone up from Birmingham airport later, will get £50 for doing it so can't complain

I've found several more bits to ebay so going to sort those out this week, also have 2 phones to send away for recycling.

Thankyou Rainmac I have a spreadsheet with everything I sell wrote down on it. In the next 8 mins I have another Xbox selling on ebay and it is at £97 at the min with 8 mins to go :eek: so that will be more to add to it ... we may well have the money to pay the mortgage next month at this rate. I plan to just keep going and writing down any sales/mystery shops etc on the list see how much I can earn from it all

Thankyou for the lovely comments about DS's easter craftys he is very proud of them bless him. I will send you a PM

Like your spreadsheet idea, think I'll do that otherwise going to get lost as to how many pennies I clock up

Forgot to add, thank you ladies for your ebay advice about the item I didn't receive, Paypal closed the claim in my favour and have given me my £2.50 back - told you it was big bucks didn't I :rolleyes:. Jammy, can I include this in my money 'made' for the challenge as if I hadn't raised the claim I wouldn't have got the money back???

Happy birthday mhagster!

I'm doing a very MSE thing today. My landlord's ignoring my attempts to give notice on my apartment, and if we go past the 1st April he'll get another month's rent out of me. So I've drafted a letter to be signed and hand delivered to him, and if he refuses to sign to acknowledge receipt he'll have to sign something to that effect. Either way, it will save us a fortune.

Other than that, I'm putting stuff back on the bookshelves after they were completely emptied to be fastened to the wall. There are two packing cases full and a small mountain range of them on the floor. And that's only about half the books in the place, and all my academic books are at my office. We need an extra room - perhaps we don't need a nursery after all.

Good afternoon :hello:

Been to get my Radley bag today, it's this one...the large tote in ivory. It was a bit more expensive than I wanted but it's okay

Some more of my things ended on ebay yesterday and today, so made another £35.67 :j That's £96.34 i've made on ebay altogether in the last week (only the £35.67 goes towards jammy's challenge though)

Going to read some more Harry Potter, I've read the first book now so on to the second. I love Harry Potter :j

Hope you're having a lovely birthday mhagster
