    I used to have a superb treadmill......but it ended up just being a home for the mountain of ironing :o

    Hi Macgirl
    I am also back at work tomorrow - the roads around our house are a bit scary but the main roads seem fine - I would say we have had about 6 inches of snow.
    Well done on the amazon and ebay listing. I don't find amazon too bad, its the ebay listing I procrastinate about although once I settle down with the camera, I actually find that I get a lot done.
    I will be running in the morning, but luckily we have a decent treadmill at home (bought pre lightbulb!) so I can do a couple of miles b4 work. I must say though, investment wise its been a great buy, we have had it about 3 and a half years and it gets loads of use.
    Have a good day tomorrow :o

    Hi MissO and thanks for stopping by :hello:
    Yes, I know what you mean about Ebay, but I'm kind of on a roll. I photographed some stuff last night, but then couldn't find the lead to download the pics :rolleyes: Searching out things to sell is the pain for me.

    Well done on running :T I think if I had a treadmill it'd quickly become another shelving unit and wouldn't see much action! I have to run outdoors - though getting out of the door is my current problem :o

    Plus I also need to tackle my current biscuit addiction, I'm hoovering up any chocolate covered morsel in sight! :eek:
    When the snow has melted - I'll be back ;)

    Hey all

    I worked from home today (2 out of 3 rugrats off due to school closures) and I got loads more done than I probably would have at the office (and in less time). I think it was guilt:rotfl:

    Hello!
    Back at work today, though was late in and told to leave at 4pm :j
    It was -9 this morning :eek: The windscreen washers haven't worked for more than 5 seconds for the last few weeks, meaning I'm pretty much driving blind due to all the salt on the roads - ooops!

    The overdraft is up today, due to diesel of £40 :o
    Plus I entered the Manchester 10k today - another £34!!! I wish it could have waited until after payday, but I need to have something booked to aim towards.
    I haven't run regularly for some time, so once the snow has gone, I'll be on a mission!

    No book sales today, but I have one Ebay item on £5.50 - I only paid a fiver for it - with 3 days to go! :rotfl: Another item has 5 watchers so hopefully will sell - fingers crossed.

    Feeling cold and tired tonight, so might just curl up in front of the fire.
    Off tomorrow, so will be Flyladying; spending 15 mins putting away Christmas Decs and wrap (yes, mine is still on the dining room table :o) and I need to email the Scouts to take the tree - which is currently lying under a foot of snow :rolleyes: I'll also be listing books and Ebay bits - got to keep on it!

    Hope you've had a good day if you're reading and are keeping warm, Mac :)

    Don't!!! I know :o:o:o
    I did debate with myself, but the places go very quickly and some colleagues are doing it too, so that's good motivation.....in case I get a place in the GNR :eek:

    I did the 10k too :j and also :eek::eek::eek: at the cost! But I won't be doing the GNR so I think I've saved money :rolleyes:

    I WILL go into work tomorrow - I really have to, they will forget who I am soon!

    I've been looking into the £100 spends and have a few ideas....
    1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j
    2nd debt - MBNA - £6,618.52
    First in many many to go - baby steps and all that!
    First lump sum to go - fingers crossed!
    08/06/09 - [STRIKE]£11,497.68[/STRIKE] NOW - £9,757.75

    Fingers crossed I won't get a place, then that's £44 saved! :money:

    Yep, I have ideas for the £100, but need to get paid before I can invest. Itching to get on with that, as Ebay and Amazon will only bring in a trickle.
    Off to update my sig.......though it won't look massively different :o
