    MinniMe - Hello and welcome!

    Clarissa - I think you're better to sell individually unless they're kids clothes which are easier to bundle from what I have seen. I wouldn't buy four items to get one top I like (That's my reasoning!)

    Today I have:

    • Brought my lunch and flasks
    • BOOKED MY HOLIDAY, WOOOOOO!!!!
    • Driven Mr Fresian mad by googling everything in Yorkshire to do on holiday and reading out progressively more mental suggestions...did you know there is an attraction in Scarborough called Hairy Bob's Cave? :D
    • Bought rest of supplies needed to start baking in earnest
    • Made more choc crispies. Left six on the worktop before work, came home to one :rotfl:
    • Made MAHOOSIVE pot of bolognaise
    • Rejoyced at arrival of new freezer
    • Won sod all on BB despite getting £10 bonus for no reason
    Sleep now, night all!

    Morning all!

    Thanks to getting up at 5.50am yesterday it appears that this is when my body wants me to be awake. Humph.

    Still, in the last hour I have sorted my emails, done my online banking/PAD for today (Only about £32 to pay and the overdraft is gone!), won £1.50 on BB and emailed all the people who have bought things from me and not left feedback on Ebay. I am 1 feedback up already!!

    I have some items which are ending this weekend on Ebay:

    7 items ending tomorrow
    2 items (relists) ending on Monday

    4 bids totalling £15.06 at the moment and of the other 5 items, 3 have watchers. It's not all lost! If anyone wants some Lego or a MSE book then please look me up. Ebay name is the same as my one on here :A

    Money

    Spends = £100
    PAD = £0 (Making PAD from Spends account to overdraft)
    Entertainment = £50.55
    Groceries = £136.14
    Purse = £1.03

    I have tidied the living room in preparation of Mr Fresian's sister coming for dinner and the washing is folded and hung away instead of flung on the bed in the spare room. My job during X Factor tomorrow and Sunday is to fold all of Washing Mountain and put it in the correct places!
