    I made £210 today, nearly passed out in shock, it was broken chain, couple broken bracelets, tiny 16in chains they put on necklaces, was only expecting £50 but when the guy said £210, if I hadn't been on the crutches, I'd of passed out in shock, according to dad I went white as a ghost.

    I've cleared out all my broken jewellery now!!

    With this payout, the £155 from last one and cashback from car ins, comes to £400, in one way I think it could have cleared capital one, but as I'm taking dd to Dom Rep nxt yr, I've opened a new account, banked it and be safe for our trip money.

    I know I've got the debts, but Dom Rep 3/4 of the hol has been covered, I just need to the 1/4, and your only 40 once.

    So exicted, literally beaming from ear to ear. xx

    Bit of an up and down day 2day, my mids just going round in circles.

    Had gp appointments, mine was easy - more tablets for my choc box, and some antibitiocs as I have something gangy with my toungue.

    Poor mum came worse off, - shes not been well but only told me last week, -the just of it she had to be prodded in both areas, they said shes got piles (bless her), but her other area she has a prolasped womb, - but their concerned about her symptoms. So shes got to have the camera treatment, blood tests, x-rays,
    So to cheer her up I took her for lunch to the pub, 2 for £10, and we had a free bottle of wine promo voucher, so that went in the handbag, have that 2ngT!

    Got dds parents evening at 4.20,so fingers crossed everything shouls be ok.

    We did a table top sale today, dad came and unloaded for me, then went home to see to Bailey, thou I'm sure he managed a quick flick through the paper!! nice start. didn't need to get there to 11am, after paying £6.00 for the table,we made the grand profit of £5.00. DD stayed with me after 10 mins all I got was I'm bored....... why didn't you bring the ds.......YOU NEVER PACKED IT!!

    But dad was nice as he took us to the pub for belated lunch, so we both had steak and chips, (2 for £10),dd had kids roast, it was massive, she 4 slices Roast beef, 4 roast potatoes, mash, 3 veg, yorkshire pudding, + sausage and bacon, hers was £3.25, looked more like an adults meal...

    sounds daft, but its an extra fiver off the debts, it was at a community centre, there was only sellers, the tables opposiate side they didn't take a penny, so guess did well.

    Hold off for the better weather and do a couple at dds school, the car boot sides got one of the best reputations in the area, quite funny says starts at 8am, ..... one time I went to the loo, about 4.30am, and there was someone already there....... we aim to get there for 6am, theres buyers there then!

    We've had gd days, we've had bad days, but I work on the basis the table is covered, anything over that is a bonus, x
