Morning all, its a cold and frosty one here today. Looks like being yet another mainly indoor based day, I think I may leave the trip to he tip until next weekend when ds is away as that way I can put the back seats down and get it all done in one trip

We must get more of ds thankyou letters done today (didnt do any yesterday), and I want to look for a matched bet or two. I have a couple of small bits finishing on ebay later too so hopefully that will be a few more pennies into the pot although it really wont be much.
10p on the scratchie today, days are really numbered on there now, virgin have changed it so you have to deposit and play £5 a month to qualify for the freebies now so its only a matter of time before that one comes to an end too

I agree that the scratch days are numbered......good while it lasted and at least no outlay required so no risk in those remaining days/weeks/while we work out whether we can withdraw etc!
Have a good day - we are off visiting rellies that we missed over Christmas when the car was dead, so am having to leave the comfort of my tidy house and comfy sofa :eek:
Then tomorrow, I am hoping to persuade OH to do a similar run to the tip - back seats down, pile the car high and GET RID!!!!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Had quite a good morning, ds has got another two letters done, about 9 more to go
We went out and posted them, got ds haircut before he goes back to school, paid in a couple of cheques and went to somerfield for some milk. Ended up spending £6.71 in there but got bread, milk, rolls, smiley faces and 3 selection boxes, all reduced to 67p each, but each one has 6 choccy bars in which will be used for snacks at work and will therefore save me money in the longrun 

Back home in the warm again, not looking forward to monday when I actually have to go out for the day properly again in the cold :rolleyes:
The rest of today involves some more thankyou letters, bath for each of us, some more ebaying and hopefully some moneymaking. Mortgage Total: £50,772/ £75,000

As I seem to be relatively up-to-date with stuff at the moment I've decided to spend this afternoon doing something I love; vegging on the sofa with the telly on sky sports with the footie updates on
I'm going to enter comps for the next couple of hours while its on and hopefully it could indirectly be moneymaking too, as anything I win will be put in the pressie box or ebay
If I dont win anything then its no loss either as I'm gonna be on the sofa anyway
The ebaying will be done this evening. Mortgage Total: £50,772/ £75,000

I have to call them as my password doesn't work and neither does their temporary one.
Any eBay sale helps; I'm trying to be good and list as many as I can before I go off it again - I always seem to get the dodgy buyers.
Pop by when you can; it's very quiet on there at the moment

The two ebay items finished on £2.25 and £3.70, am pleased with that, the first one had been in my wardrobe for yonks and I never wore it, the second was 50p from a car boot sale
