    Glad you like him Ladypink, I do wonder about my taste sometimes so its nice to get approval :D Tigz let me know your opinion too ;)

    Today was a really good course and it was in a gorgeous local hotel with a scrummy buffet lunch, so the healthy eating suffered a bit, but I was the only one who didn't go back for seconds so I didn't feel too bad :D

    For some reason I felt quite energetic when I got in so I didn't put the laptop on but did some tidying and stuff instead :eek: Hoovered all through and had my bath, so once ds is in bed I can have a relaxing evening andI definitely need an early night as I'm very tired.

    All my ebay parcels have been packaged and posted and for once they wree quite chunky ones so I can actually see a bit of space in my ebay box :j

    That's the same as me - sold some nice boxed things this week, so the box under the stairs full of [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] goodies is steadily getting less crammed full...lovely to clear it out isn't it?;)
    I've just had 2 things go on ebay....1 for £20 and 1 for £18....so happy, they'd been lying in the drawer for about 5years:rotfl:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    £2.53 from a small freebie betting offer, not much but only took a couple of minutes :D

    Evening everyone, another normal day at school tody, then took ds swimming and am just cooking sausage and mash for tea :D

    10p on the scratchcards today, no watchers on ebay at the moment :o but I did aget an email from one of the mystery shopping companies about a new project that could be interesting if I get the stores I'm after.

    The flat is looking remarkably tidy tonight which is great news, I do have the ironing board up ready to crack on with that after tea, then hopefully another early night. Ds is going to mums tomorrow night for a sleepover as I'm on a school trip on thursday, so may even get to nip out somewhere tomorrow or have a lazy evening on my own :D

  • I just love reading your updates ben ben i have started my own spending diary on a spreadsheet listing everything i have spent on shopping etc, felt motivated by the fact that my card was cancelled at bank on saturday due to someone else using it and money going from my account so i have had only £4 in my purse to spend and dont want to use the credit card.

    1. on the long road to hopefully adopting a child - Home Visit 3 Feb 2010

    2. Planning to clear my credit card debt.

    3. lose weight.

    Aw Tigz I would love to but a takeaway would break my healthy eating lark and I ought to go to the gym really and get an early night as we're leaving school at 7.30am on thursday :o but the thought of a natter on a sofa with a ckicken korma does sound much more appealing :D

    Ladypink, good luck with the spending diary, it does take a while to get in the habit of writing everything down but once you get used to it its great, and also it makes you think twice before you spend any money ;)

    Had a look at the piccie today Benben - very nice indeed. Hope you get on with him.

    Are you going somewhere interesting for your school trip? Must be some distance away if you are leaving soooooooooooo early!! I wouldn't fancy being at school at that time in the morning.
