Wow not posted for a few days buy other than working I haven't done much else.... NSD yesterday and thought I would today aswell but no such luck my avon lady just text me to tell me she is dropping off my order tonight and it's £15 completly forgot about it.

Really skint month I am having and I have 2 nights out to contend with before my next payday, one next friday it's a surprise party for my mate (his wife has arranged it, we are going for a meal and drinks.... I will be having a starter and tap water me thinks) then one the week after in Manchester with my work mates, think I will have to borrow it from OH.

On a positive note I just received an email from Kerrang and I have won 2 tickets to the Kerrang gig on 4th Feb, will give to my brother he is made up as he tried to get tickets and it immediatly sold out so yay :j

Afternoon, not been upto much yet again other than working (story of my life!!!) Trying to make the most of my shifts as at the moment I'm on days, well that's only for another 2 weeks then I'm back on shifts what joy. Think I need to look into getting some blackout blinds for the bedroom, if I see even a bit of light I'm wide awake.

Listed 17 items on ebay yesterday and 4 are already selling so that's good, just clothing that has been stuck in our spare room and OH mithering me to sort out my side of the wardrobe grrrrr. Speaking of OH we have been together 6 years today, can't believe how fast it has gone (don't think he would agree :rotfl:)

6 years thats good going..are we going to be hearing wedding bells anytime soon????? I hope hes treating you to a nice evening out!

Thats good going with ebay, are you going to pay the profit of your credit card or treat yourself?

Ooooooh no marriage isn't for me at all, we got engaged a couple of years ago but not to get married just more of a commitment thing (and for my lovely expensive big diamond ring :rotfl: only downside is I can't wear it to work incase I lose/cut someone open with it)

So at the beginning of my diary I think I said I never had to look down the sofa for pennies.... well now I do, I can't believe how poor I am at the minute, I still got 2 nights out before pay day arghhhhhh, I am only taking £20 out on Friday night and my mate is driving there and back so that will save me some.

A NSD today and yes Snow my ebay funds will def be going towards the bills!!

:rotfl: tell me about it, it will only last until next week though as I will be back out again and this time I will be on the Vodka. Can't believe how little money I have at the moment.

On the plus side I have won 2 tickets to here http://www.mcnmotorcycleshow.com/ I won't be going as it is in London (I live in Manchester..... bit of a trek) My cousin will possibly use them I'm sure he will tell me tonight but if not they are up for grabs as I won't have any use for them. They are for 4th 5th 6th 7th Feb, so PM me if you want them, I will put a post on the comp board aswell, sure I will find a good home for them.

Hi Skint my OH would have just had the ring if she could get away with it, she even said she should just change her name by deed poll. not a chance lol

Yet another comp well done! Is it worth ebaying them?

How are you getting on with the stuff you put on ebay?

skintbuthappy81

:rotfl: I shouldn't laugh but I would have been exactly the same, I suppose it's a little different when you have kids though.

All but 3 of my items sold on ebay and I got £116 so I have used it to help pay off the credit card. Will have to sort out my wardrobe next and put them on next week. I only put them on for 5 days so thought that was good going.

Went out last night with my £20 plus another fiver that I scavenged from OH and came back with £10, I just had a chicken ceaser salad and 3 diet cokes, this shows how old am I getting haha. Next Friday is going to be the dangerous one I am 2 days behind with my £1 a day tub but will have to make it up when I get some change.

Have a fab weekend

Oooops I have spent £38 today and a new little edition to our family, we went to pets at home and bought a little Roborovski dwarf hamster, he is adorable, we have decided to call him George (no reason behind this, we just thought it sounded cute) so along with his cage and everything else it was quite expensive, he is worth it though.
