    Just stole a Creme Egg from DD's EE :o:o:o - well, they don't even like them!!!

    Think they've made them smaller - or is my mouth just bigger?! :cool:

    I've just been reading mouseann's diary - such a dire situation :( , have kicked myself up the butt and listed some items on Ebay and got my running kit ready for an early morning start :A

    OH has gone swimming so I'm here alone with Ebay and budget spreadsheets. Life is soooo rock and roll.....

    Good Morning!

    Been for a 45 minute run and feel great now :j

    My plan for the month is to have something listed on Ebay and Amazon every day, thereby forcing me to declutter, get it out of the house and hopefully make a few quid into the bargain.

    This morning my Sister is coming over, so I need to do some washing and blitz the house before then (10.30am :o)

    Then we are meeting some old Uni friends who live in London, so am really looking forward to that. We are having lunch, so have a voucher for that, then bowling - which I've already paid for.
    Feel guilty for spending (as we're meeting other friends on Sunday too for a day out), but we virtually never have nights/days out, so a little treat once in a while won't hurt.

    This evening I'm hoping to list some more things and plan the budget without nursery fees. As I'm off next week, I'm going to get some agents round to value the house for sale and rental. That way we'll have a clear idea of what we can/can't afford.

    Right, off for porridge :A Have a good weekend if you're reading :easter:

    Sounds like a fab weekend planned. Enjoy it!

    Good idea for the decluttering too - I hope you make lots of space and lots of cash at the same time!

    Happy Easter x

    Hi Micron :hello:

    Yes, I often waste hours on here, so need a kick up the bum (or the threat of someone visiting :o) to stop me procrastinating - have a good weekend and hope you manage to get everything done :)

    Just seen on NUTRACHECK, there's 25% off a 3 month membership for £14.99 (usually £19.99) :money: You can still do the 5 day free trial too, so for anyone who wants to lose weight and save cash - I highly recommend it!
