  • Well done on the amazon sales - and also for being good last night at the Italian :A
    I am going to try and list some Ebay stuff today, but also feeling a bit bleeugghhh and DD is really poorly, so is cuddled up on the sofa
    what is it by the way that you have in mind for your money making idea (pm me if you don't want to say!) maybe I could help - if its something crafty, I'm quite good at all that stuff
    Anyway, have a nice day

    I've felt rubbish all day. OH ended up taking the kids out, so I just laid on the sofa all afternoon with the papers! I never do that, just didn't have the energy to do anything else :(

    Another Ebayer paid up too, so I've requested £14.79 from Paypal, I'll have to deduct postage, but that shouldn't be much = result :T

    So I'm going to rush off and try to list a few things as it's free - I'm so cross with myself for not doing it earlier, but I just couldn't :rolleyes:

    Right have a good week to anyone reading xxx
  • Busy, busy, busy! It's about time the snow melted, although it said on the weather forecast it might start again on Wednesday :eek: Are you going to try and get out running before then?

    No idea how you are managing to avoid heavenly chocolate, I am allowing myself a small treat everyday just to stop me going mad.

    Have a lovely day

    Well IMD, confession time.
    I had one almighty binge yesterday after 2 days of virtual starvation and a week of puritanical eating. Suffice to say I ate enough biscuits to last me the month :eek:
    (I'm blaming it on my hormones)
    :o:o:o:o:o:o:o

    Sold a box set on amazon last night, so posted that today :T Sadly, I'd forgotten to change the postage to UK ONLY, so it ended up costing £3.43! :rolleyes:
    Lesson learnt. Just sold another, so will try to post that tomorrow - though I nearly lost the will to live, after half an hour in the PO this lunchtime.....

    Other than that, nothing to report. £25 spent on diesel, which should last until next Monday PAYDAY! :j plus 70p on breakfast at work. So not too bad.

    I sorted it out with my colleague, so all is smoothed over there. I also mentioned my money making idea to a good friend. Being like-minded, she immediately jumped on the idea and seems to think we'll do it together :o
    For me this is a no-no, I can't split the profits - assuming there will be some....

    Right, time to sort the kids, will catch up later :)

    Oops to the biscuits.....ah well, tomorrow is another day.

    As for potentially having to share your profits - no way!!!

    And Mrs - did you run....................

    If it helps at all I am currently eating homemade HUGE cup cakes :D:rolleyes: Had to say yes as the kids made them.

    Well done on the Amazon sales, I hate the Post Office too!

    If you're talking to me.......then no. Issues that need to be dealt with of a more urgent nature than running, unfortunately......

    Chuck us a cupcake.

    No run for me either, though I'm going to try and go tomorrow evening. Now the snow has melted, I'm out of excuses.
    I'll be giving you a knock before I go Hypno ;)
  • You are indeed out of excuses :D

    I'm going for a club run at 7pm - shall I give you both a knock??? I now need to run off three cupcakes :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    OH has just reminded me he won't be back until very late tomorrow, so it'll be Wednesday now :mad:
    I should consider a club too, but that adds to the time I'm out of the house, which puts me off. Mind you, the prospect of running in a "Crimewatch Reconstruction" puts the wind up me too :eek:

    Just watching Cleb Big Brother (guilty pleasure) and I'm LOVING Davina's coat! I could make that - if only I could afford the fabric :rolleyes:
