    Hi there from a lurker;)
    Well done on the ebay sales - my ebay fees are separate from Paypal money - I used to get a bill from ebay monthly for fees, now it comes out by direct debit, monthly. So you'll probably get a bill unless you have dd set up.

    And to be honest, I wouldn't mention that the shoes were only £4, you might get more than you expect:D

    Good luck, I'll keep reading:p
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Hi,

    I thought that too about the fees, oh well every little helps!

    I will also bear it in mind about listing the prices! Thanks for the tip and of course for reading my ramblings.

    My god what a long day! I only got muchkin at 7.35! Not happy but my dad went on a breakdown so i had to get the train. The 5.28 train was cancelled!!! And they only run on the hour, pathetic for London really. So i went back to work, my dad told me to wait as he would be back soon. But the flippin van broke down and he didnt get back to the yard until 6.45.

    Good news is Joe has been fed - pesto pasta - quick and simple and is now in jim jams ans nearly asleep, its way too late for him to be up. And we didnt have time for a book before bed (and im shattered) I dont have the engery for tidying tonight at all. And im already in jim jams too! Watching BBC 3 at the moment - really interesting and better than itv3.

    And i sold a dress for a whole 99p today! Lol, but its clearing the rubbish and making me a small amount of money. I just hope they dont complain about the postage of £2.50. Fingers crossed!

    Anyway off to bed soon, night!

    Morning All,

    I am so tired! Early night tonight me thinks. Not had payment for the dress so hoping that comes in today so i can post it out tomorrow before the stike.

    Popped into tescos this morning and was a bit naughty, bought a dress for £12 - plain black and a new notebook - 29p but the dress came up at £8 - so very happy and a new addition to my wardrobe that i will actully wear. And its better than my jeans and lookalike ugg boots that im in at the moment.

    Beavers tonight, £3 but thats all budgeted for. I have to get the train tonight so its going to be a rush getting to Joe on time to get him there. I just hope that the train isnt late otherwise the plan will not work!

    I am sooooooooo tired lol. Yesterday was manic, got Joe to beavers on time. They are thinking of moving him up to Cubs a few months early as he seems to be getting through the crafts quickly and getting bored at playing the games all the time. We are going to try it over the next couple of weeks and see if hes ready.

    Didnt get any housework or my soup made yesterday a neighbour was having domestics and needed a chat. Not that i said much, just listened. And then before i knew it i had to go and get Joe so ashamed to say we had fish and chips it came too £5.80 :eek: And it wasnt even very nice. Plus to top it all i had flippin fish in the freezer!

    Ive also had a huge phone bill for trying to sort out all my internet problems, im going to log on tonight and see to who the calls are and then bill them - im not very happy with three mobile at all! I they still cant give me internet! Thats why im back with BT.

    Dress was paid for, ive got it ready for posting. Going to use the works franking machine to get the extact price and just put stamps on it and post that out tonight. Not sure about it getting there as there is ment to be a postal strike on :confused:

    Forgot to add that yesterday i spent £6.50 on fruit and veg from the market, got a nice little haul and am hoping that i will get to make my soup and colsaw tonight, plus catch up on all the housework and of course more listings on ebay.

    Busy Busy Busy :rotfl:

    Oh dear, today did not go to plan at all.

    I was called to school today and theres another thread about it here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=26016951&posted=1#post26016951

    Joe has been really unsettled at school since last Thursday, and its continued to today. Im shocked that they did not call me earlier than today to be surprised, but its not the point. As in that thread im going to call CAHMS tomorrow to try and see what they say. Im also going to boots for more Eye Q capsules. Im not daft enough to think thats why hes gone backwards but i ran out last weekend and im daft enough to try anything. I will also keep trying to get Joe to talk to me about how he feels at school. I really do just want him to be happy, as ive said so many times before, this is ment to be the fun happy time of his live, and school seems to get at him after awhile. He managed to get the 3 weeks qand then the last 6 days have been so hard for him and i didnt really have a clue :(

    Anyway the rest of today, what with being called to school i havent posted my ebay parcel. Im going to have to email to apologise and get it sent out next day maybe.

    And then to top it all, i just went downstairs to get the post, and there was a packet. Turns out ive won my second competition, a signed teen book, lol. What a daft strange mad sad day.

    Going to have a hot bath, cup of tea maybe another nosey on here and then go to bed for a nice early night.

    Morning,

    Im still at home, i woke up late and no matter how much i rush i wont catch the train to work. Terrible nights sleep last night. Just had too much going on in my head, trying to find out whats triggered this sudden change again.

    Im going to be late to work as theres only a train every hour, i could go up to town and change but it only saves me 5 minutes. So im updating on here and just having a nice calm start to the day with Joe. Must admit i feel a bit washed out today. Def need another coffee me thinks.

    Going to put the book i won on ebay, hope i get more than 99p for it though as thats all i can seem to sell anything at.

    Will have to apologise to the boss, i just walked out yesterday, and told him i was going rather than asking. And then im late the next day. Not good at all, i just really hope he understands. Sp please if you read this have your fingers crossed for me that hes not to peed off with me as i dont think i can handle bollocking at work today. Oh and i need to tell him that i will need to leave early for work next week for a meeting and then there will be another day for CAHMS.

    Afternoon,

    Eye Q has been bought, not on the 3 for 2 so will have to watch out for the next time its on. Phoned CAHMS have just been told that someone will be in touch once the referal has been received.

    Eye Q was £14.99 and will only last until the end of the month. Bought the smooth as its seems a bit more concentrated.

    Will hear later how Joe has done today. Im so looking forward to getting home and relaxing. I need sleep so bad that im hoping i will have no problems tonight.

    Still need to sort ebay parcel as i forgot to bring it with me. Doh.

    And im going to start comps again as i had a win from the Sugar comps last night. Hoping that maybe one day a holiday will come my way.

    Morning, Well it is just about!

    Joe had an okish day which is good. Upset that he didnt get a full day. But hes good. Ive spoken to CAHMS the appointment is staying where is it. I just wish i could fix things at school for him. Hes so different at home. Anyway, weekend now so no problems :D

    Been out for a run - Joe followed on his bike. I really need to go at least twice a week. But now its getting dark i wont be able. Going to get my old step machine out and start using that.

    Logged into my email account and shocked that last adidas t shirt sold for £3.20 - the one with tags only sold at 99p :confused: Going to get that ready for posting on Monday - along with the dress that sold on Wednesday.
    Also have the two pairs of pumps with 99p bids :j so hopefuly some of the rest will sell to. Must get on with listong some of the other stuff today or tomorrow. Also the two other sellers have left feedback so that will help.

    Really sould get on with the tidying now. And get this flat sorted.

    Hello,

    Well life is not really going to plan at the moment, ive not been on much. Everything seems to be going wrong. But never mind, onwards and upwards. Or however the saying goes.

    Ebay lots went for £24.24, postage came to 12.71 so £11.53 profit. Every little helps and all that. Have nothing on ebay now so need to get my bum in gear and sort that.

    Joe is just a very long story at the moment, he was excluded until after half term yesterday so im at home working looking after him as the childminder had plans to go out today. He is working as a normal school day so only 45 mins left for him. I dont think hes ever done so much work. Knowone knows why he has had this sudden change. He really was doing so well. I just hope that after the holiday we can go back to the way it was 2 weeks ago.

    On the money side i have to pay the childminder extra this week which was not budgeted for at all. So need to sort that. PLus its half term next week so more money there.

    Best get back to going work work and then once its 4pm im going to crack on with ebay. I need to start selling more stuff.
