    Shoe Gal- was you not as tempted as I am just to say sod it...I'm having them both! I think I have a problem...

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: very tempted - but as I went in for a birthday present and wasn't supposed to buy anything for me I think I showed great restraint :)

    Hello

    I was off today with this cold. Have been feeling really rough :( Not sure if I should be worried that I can't remember much of today before mid afternoon, but I know I was awake :huh: Not good. Don't think I'll be in tomorrow either. Thought I was going to pass out in the shower this afternoon, managed to get out and dressed, but then fell asleep on the sofa.

    Meanwhile I'm having issues with IE on my laptop so I'm just downloading the free AVG anti-virus software. I'm not sure what it is that's wrong with IE, but it's something I've been meaning to do for a while since my McAfee ran out.

    20 items?? Well done Sarahb!! :j:j I started listing two DVDs on Amazon tonight, then realised I hadn't worked out the postage, decided I couldn't be @rsed to work it out now and left it :o

    Nice start to March, clarabella :D Are you feeling any better? :A

    Gwenx

    ETA: I got £24.94 from Quidco and have already pre-empted it's arrival into my bank account and moved it to the Barclaycard :beer:
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending
  • How fab 20 items! Sarah you will be buying that house in no time! xxxxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Very well restrained indeed- Well done!:T

    I bought my Mum a top ready for Mothers day and a new duvet set, and I've been hunting for some flat boots for ages so just bit the bullet and bought them-and nearly cried handing over my card! Needed them though, my snow/Ugg style boots got trached in the snow, but I can't complain as I found them in the cupboard at work, andstuff gets further reduced when it gets missed in the sale. These had been there for over a year, as they were practically the same as this years, so I got them for £3! And a pair of size 13s for my DD for £1! Bargain! So I can't really complain that they're wrecked!

    My duvet has lasted quite well as well, considering, as it's just pure white, and so hard to keep that way! It's lasted about 2 years thinking about it, so can't whinge at that! Like I said, got 2 weeks of discount left, best make the most of it!:D

    Well done on all of your ebaying Sarah, it gets quite addictive, doesn't it? It's always the thought of actually spending the day doing it that puts me off, I'm OK when I get going, but the thought of it gives me shivers! Well done though, your doing FAB with it, can't believe how motivated you're being!:A

    Colds are going round at the minute Gwen, and you forget how horrible they are, and think everyones exaggerating, until you get one yourself again! Have a couple of early nights maybe, hot cups of tea, and I always find the cold and flu remedy tablets from either beechams or boots really help me- worth a try?

    Not really feeling better, still have an ache constantly, fed up of it to be honest but don't know how to help myself so just putting a face on and trying to jolly myself out of it. Never know, might work!:D Been good though, and deleted his number out of my phone, and instead am storing it on a scrap of paper stuck to the inside of my kitchen door where I have to climb to reach it. If I don't have the will power to drunk text, I will put it somewhere that is hard to reach, especially when drunk!:rotfl: still need it in case of emergencies, but trying to hold back. See how it goes!

    I didn't realise either Gwen and actually thought to myself, 'Oh, they should put some cute baby lambs and an easter egg on there too!'. :rotfl:

    I haven't even got cold remedy as an excuse :o
