    I am so glad Jan is over as well!

    The little prizes sound quite cool, keep entering the comps you might win something really good one day.
  • I saw the email from ebay free ppstage rules ending and am pleased about it. But a bit annoyed about all the things I have had to send out for free recently and lost money on :mad:

    Goodluck with the comping, hope you win something good soon :D
    Money paid out from Topcashback so far= £105.89 :j

    Not much to report today

    My last ebay item sold for 99p so posted it off.

    I had a spend yesterday:

    Thorntons chocs for leaving pressie: £6
    Mini eggs x2 £1.60
    Tesco value white chocolate 28p ...and its yummy!!

    I will also have a spend tomorrow as buying flowers for my work mates leaving pressie too. But now another woman at work says can she give some money in and put her name down. Flowers and chocs arent much from 3 of us! She leaves tomorrow, i have no time to go to town to buy her something esle so it will have to do. So i will be spiltting the cost 2 ways now instead of just me at least.

    The only other thing to mention is i wish my 'monthly' would hurry up so me and OH can start trying for a baby again. We said we would wait for Febuaury and its here at last! If my period comes now it would be possible i would concieve on or around valentines when we're away for the weekend! :D

    Afternoon,

    After that lil moan yesterday, the witch has come!:j:rotfl:

    Well work have hired a new person to start work this saturday, shes only 19. I hope shes nice and sticks to the job, as normally when they empoly young people still in there teens that end up caling in sick alot at weekends with hangovers...(thats when we get caled up to cover)and dont really know how to clean properly. Im crossing my fingers this new girl will be fine though and sticks the job out.

    We gave the chocs and flowers to the girl that was leaving, she had to leave them at work to pick up later as they were too big to put on her push bike! Trust her to use her push bike instead of car!:rotfl:

    Hope the new girl stays. We had one of our new people at work leave only after a couple of weeks which is a pain but at least we hadn't fully trained him up.

    Yay to everything. After my little win, I've been inspired to enter more comps again
  • Hi Maria, how's you?

    That was so nice of you to buy your work mate the leaving bits, lovely thought.
    Funny about the flowers and push bike!

    That's exciting news about trying again for a baby, be lovely to conceive on your weekend away.

    I got the e-mail about the new ebay rules, it's really good isn't it. My OH wrote a bit complaint letter to ebay, and they sorta stole his idea, cheeky gits.

    Hope you enjoyed the mini eggs, they get addictive don't they, that's the same with creme eggs. Yum!

    Hey,

    Thanks you guys. :)

    I also complained to ebay when they changed the post to free when i had to post that massive game. I think loads of people must of for them to finally re-think there stupid rules.
    Only thing is im all sold out of games and dvd's to sell now! :rotfl:

    This month is going to be an expensive month for me. No chance of saving anything!

    I got my haircut yesterday, it hadnt been cut for 6 months so was in a real bad need. It cost me £30 just for a good trim, then i gave her a £2 tip and parking cost me £3.
    Then i went to dreaded asda and stocked up on cupcake ingredients as i still plan to make some for OH for valentines. But also saw a nice top so ended up spending £12 there. And still need t buy eggs, butter,cases, piping bag and nozzles!!!!!
    Then went to Boots and got two boxes of hair dye as they were on offer 2 for £10.

    Its my brothers and SIL birthday both on the 17th of this month. SIL will be 40, dont know what to get her or him at all.

    Morning,

    Ekkk i just cant seem to stop spending! I think its because im bored!

    I went to the retail park as i was bored yesterday and spent £3 on Soap and Glory 'the fab pore' mask. All soap and glory bits are reduced and i always hear how great there stuff is so wanted to try it some out!
    Then also bought some heat protection spray for my hair £4.99!

    I gave my car a good wash yesterday, went crazy because my dad used my £15 polishing cloth that i have only used once to clean his engine bay with!:mad: Now its covered in black grease that wont come out. So not really any good to now polish my car with unless i want grease all over it! :mad:Any normal person would say sorry i will buy you a new one. But no not my dad.

    OH is very tired now his working 50 hour weeks! Poor thing. Thank goodness we go away friday! Yay! Roll on the hot tub.:D As ive paid for the break i wasnt going to buy him a valentines pressie apart from cook the cupcakes. But i saw a Iphone case which looks like a car tyre that i know he likes as we saw it in a shop once for £20 but ive just bought one for him for £2.99 on ebay. Using my Paypal money i got from my recent PC survey. :)
