    OK, so have sorted out hem on another pair of trousers for DS (surely I've rehemmed all the school trousers I bought this year by now), done all the ironing, bought bingo tickets and the flat is tidy. I still need to ebay, make soup and wash my car. oops and change fuel suppliers!

    I was v good and tried to stick to 60mph this week and I think it saved me a couple of pounds so will try and keep going with that, also have two more 5p of per litre vouchers for Mr Ts, have only got £60 left in my petrol budget this month so had better be good!

    I didn't mean I wasn't going to do any ebaying - just not quite yet... later....

    my neighbours are being bloomin irritating right now so tis focusing the mind to get on with stuff! flat round the corner which needs lots of doing up and doesn't have garage or runway has sold for what I was hoping to get for mine done up :)...

    p.s. going to miss my tesco points from eon though...

    OK, ebaying now done, thanks for the prod Lou! two of the items are quite bulky so hoping they go to free up space...
    Soup in tuperware and washing up done so have rewarded myself with a cup of tea and some oaty fruity biscuits (no I didn't make them) :).
