    Well luckily all our friends seem to be having a weekend in so i wasnt persuaded to go out and spend money!! And OH is at work so thought i may as well get on with some ebaying that i have been putting off for weeks.

    Is the area really bad?

    It isnt really that bad an area, just has a bad rep as it's an ex pit village. I quite like it really, I'm sure OH would prefer to live in a more.. classy village but at £50pw we can't complain.

    Sounds like a productive night Flower, Good luck on your items! I was behind a woman in the PO today who was all giddy sending off some ebay items saying 'this is my first go on ebay, thought I'd try to make some extra money, it's really fun!' I was thinking 'just wait until you're bringing a bin bag full down!'

    Well done on the ebay listing Flower!

    I think I just won £90 on a bingo site on slots. Joined and deposited to get cashback and then won £90! Hoping it is all OK and I get it, can't quite believe it is real.

    I wouldnt complain at 50 pound a week! We pay 200pound a month to OHs parents for rent, which i think is really good for both of us. But to get a 3 bed place for that would be amazing, even when you consider bills etc its still cheap.

    I used to get really embarrassed when i was selling loads of stuff on ebay at a time, having to take it all to the post office!

    Dinah - It's no problem, hope the book is of some use!

    That's fab win Wendz, Hope you get the money too! Tempted to do a few cash back bingo places now :rotfl:

    My sister got back from London last night and bought me a Humming Bird Bakery cupcake - have to say though that as nice as the icing was I prefer the homemade ones me and my sister make!

    ETA: Just got an email to say Ebay are doing a free listing day tomorrow - will be manic on the site like most free days but I thought I'd give you a heads up!

    Hello ladies

    Just got back from Paris yesterday and a lot of catching up to do! We worked SO HARD, my goodness about ten times harder than I expected, and so many extra hurdles cropped up due to bad luck or weird circumstances. But the show went really well and people loved the products. We took loads of orders for really cool shops and got a few new leads for projects which is great. Now I am just catching up on sleep and food! I have a whole book to read this weekend before book club on Monday.

    And also I have finally made enough money for my uni fees! Aww yeah! And my proposal is ready to submit on Monday, so at least some things are moving forward too.

    I hope you're all very well, well done for your win Wendz. Have missed the daily chat and even dreamt I met Martin one night hahaha!
