    Had a really busy Easter Sunday and Monday done a boot sale each day, raised £65 on Sunday but only put £50 of it on to sig as i treated my husband to a chinese, then on Monday i raised £150 so very pleased with myself, i sold a pram and a cot mon and lots of bits and pieces.

    Also this week had a £3 bonus and £8.63 overtime.
    Doing more overtime this week and if i can get the bits together will do another bootsale.

    Do make sure if your going to do a bootsale you take your sun tan lotion i got sun/wind burn't Mon.

    Must also get back to doing my scratchies as haven't done them for a while.

    I have just remembered i had two students for five days first week of April will work out payment and add to sig next week. Got two more arriving next sun so that will keep me busy, i need more hours in the day at the mo, lol

    £44.94 from 2nd job, spent ages taking ebay photos before the weekend, then the backlight went on my laptop:confused: I was making my friend a couple of cd's as an MSE birthday present so had to attempt it with virtually no picture, think they came out ok but it took nearly an hour. PC World wanted £249 just to look at it :eek: but my mum has taken it elsewhere today so fingers crossed but not too hopeful. Didn't think it would be so expensive? Wouldn't mind if it was a new/top end laptop but it is definitely neither of these things!!

    Anyway rant over but am feeling very sad today, also got 3 mystery shops booked this week so will now have to trek over to my mums to put the results in, typical as I haven't done any for weeks!

    Rant over for real this time! :o

    Sweet: - glad to hear your son is ok, things like that can be very upsetting, probably more for you than for him if he is little!
