Let me text her and find out if it would still be viable for her to take it. I'll let you know soon as I can.

Just had a family member over for a cuppa who asked if she could have it for her neice - sorry .

Right - plans for today.:money:

1. Have leftover bits from Hobbycraft unused - will google their return policy and see if I can get a refund. If I can will go and sort that today.

2. Reserved these spacesaving bags from Argos to be paid with my Nectar points - will go and collect these.:j

[STRIKE] 3. Nice lady coming at 11am for a selection of small kitchen appliances sold on Gumtree - £15 .[/STRIKE]

4. Some debt busting letters to remaining creditors

[STRIKE] 5. Phone Scott & Co and find out balance of council tax arrears[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE] 6. Pay cash from party into the bank[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE] 7. Sister in Law's Mother coming down this afternoon so I can do a complaint letter for her.[/STRIKE]

8. More packing!

9. Get listing the last push of Gumtree and Ebay.

[STRIKE] 10. Post office to send eBay sales off.[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE] 11. Buy "With Sympathy" card for my neighbour who lost her Mum at the weekend.[/STRIKE]

Was hoping for a NSD, and still might manage it if I get a refund from Hobbycraft . It might not be within the strit rules of NSD, but I reckon getting a refund and spending that to cover the little costs I have should still pass for NSD.

Done not too badly with the list, will pop up to the shopping centre to finish off the rest of the list when Cole comes in from being out playing.

Have put another couple of things on eBay, few more to do. Just have to summon up the enthusiasm:p.

The nice man came to collect the Gumtree item for £5:j.

Getting there!

No problem. It's nice to keep it in the family.

Been to the shopping centre - nice surprise actually well sort of.

Was returning the balloon weights we didn't use, just happened to mention to the nice lady on the till that the reason we were returning them was because the 2 helium cylinders we bought only managed 30 balloons between them when they say they do 40 each! The nice lady told me to bring them back with proof of purchase and they would refund me the £58.90 for both canisters .

Just need to go about trying to find the receipt now:eek:

Also 4 of the balloon weights appear to have been on a different receipt - queue more receipt hunting!:eek:

Paid for the vacuum storage bags in Argos with my Nectar points, and the nice lady (there seems to be lots of them about at the mo!:rotfl::rotfl:) made a mistake and took the £12.50 in points off my card when the bags were only £11.99, so she gave me 51p change. So strictly speaking its not only been a NSD - I've made an extra 51p:j.

Tonight I'm promising myself to list my hubby's golf clubs on Gumtree, as well as his Callaway driver separately. Honest.

Will also pop a couple of his Replay sweatshirts on eBay. Think that's more than enough for one day, queue receipt hunting, dinner and Sauvignon blanc!

Also, have an ipod/iphone docking station to Gumtree. Hoping to do that also tonight - before the wine takes effect hopefully .

WOW Gargrave 50. Just finished reading your diary from page 1. Was worried I wouldn't get it finished before you left for Oz, but like everyone else once I started I was hooked and in the end finished it in 4 days. (Was annoyed when DD2 dropped in for a visit this evening when I had only 8 pages left to read, but hey, she had to go home sometime)
Congratulations and well done on everything you have achieved. You really have been an inspiration to many people with your drive and especially your energy.
I know the 'new you' will certainly succeed in Oz. :T

I don't know about the rest of you but every time she posts about something going up for sale I expect to see

"Going cheap, only one careful owner, 1 other half, otherwise known as Alan, for sale. Only bites if you ask him nicely"

Oh dear, am I sure its just antibiotics the doc gave me, or perhaps too much 50 Shades!!!!!




Well done on yet another busy, productive, successful day Mrs Busy Bee
