you only need one interested buyer so all is not lost, things seem to be pretty slow up here too at the moment. it's always a bit more paid off the mortgage though;). I know that feeling about one thing at a time - first mine was the debt, then the weight now it's fixing this place up...sadly neither of the other two were done quickly either ...

Have had a nightmare trying to place my free bet tonight, have finally done it but still need to lay it off. I do have a few bids on my ebay bits, some finish tomorrow and are currently around about a tenner, mainly for bits of clothes that ds has outgrown

benbenandme

Woohoo, managed to come out of the freebie with £5.50 profit which is much better than I was expceting after the hssle to place the bet

We went to a car boot this morning and ds got 4 new books that look brand new, a madagascar one, a wallace and gromit one and a couple of roald dahl ones He also got another harry potter game so is happy today. I got a brand new pair of fat face trousers with tags still on, originally cost £32.50, I paid £4 :beer:

Ebay items have finished on £13.50, very happy with that. One was a top I bought on ebay last year for £1.99, haven't worn it so decided to stick it back on there and sold it for a fiver :T

Had a lovely afternoon round at mum and dads in their garden, ds has been playing in his tent, riding his bike, playing with the hosepipe and playing with the guineapigs

He's in the bath now, I've had mine, and am hoping for a nice easy evening. Last 5 days at school before the holidays, hoping this week goes nice and quickly 3 out of the 4 ebay items have paid, so will need to get them wrapped up tonight ready to post tomorrow.

Foodwise I've had a bad couple of days, but as long as I get back on trck tomorrow then all should be fine.

Ds was really good and asleep by 8 tonight, so I have managed to get loads of bits and pieces done, nothing very significant but lots of niggly bits that I haven't been getting round to, such as the ironing and filling in forms and dull stuff like that, but I feel calmer knowing that lots of ends have been tied up The ebay parcels are done, just need to post them tomorrow.

Moneywise I have no idea where I'm at at the moment, but that will probably be a half-term exercise. I have also roasted some veggies to have with salad for lunch tomorrow and made another jelly too. Hopefully I can have a good day welking wise again too and get back on plan.

I want an hour or so now to do some comping, empty my inbox and leave ebay feedback before legging it to the land of nod

Todays been a good day; we walked to school after all seems criminal not to make the most of this weather. Anyway, having tried to walk as much as possible at work today I have so far done 18,500 steps today :j This makes me feel less guilty about the amount of junk I ate at the weekend!

Also today postie has brought me my dorset cereals, 18 scrummy little boxes worth and he also bought me another win, a bottle of James Brown - Rock Chick Wave Spray (RRP £5.99) from Glamour competition, so thankyou Milly for that one, have been entering every day :T :T

Other than that its lovely to come home to a tidy house; just about to roast a chicken for tea and then ds can have his bath.

Spends today = £3.50 for a new swimming hat for ds, they have to have their house colours but change house group each year so you have to keep buying a new one, I wouldn't mind but last year they only went swimming 3 times because of the weather :mad: I also spent £8.50 on ebay postage and some pencil grips for ds.
