    Mhh, lentil soup! I hate how it's so cold but bl00dy raining, wouldn't bother me so much if it was nice pretty snow :snow_grin

    That's good re your power, I've got candles by my bed now as I can never find them when the power goes out, my mum always has random hiding places for things :rolleyes:

    I've just wolfed down my mash & gravy, think I might have the same for lunch tomorrow as it was rather good! and I've signed myself back into the NSD way, 12 in December is easily achieveable, I hope :o

    :mad: I need out of living at home, preferrably 2 years ago (that request for a delorean still stands :rotfl:)

    And the really bl00dy annoying thing is that I can't even get away from it at the moment, the car has jsut enough fuel to get me to work & back a couple more times, I'm completely skint so can't put anymore in it and it's absolutely chucking it down outside.

    The wireless connection isn't working in my room at the mo, so if I'm going to get some ebaying done I have to sit in the living room :mad: Oh and the money that I've made from ebay has to go towards a part for the car :rolleyes:

    Why is it when something goes wrong it always feels like the world is against you?!

    Rant over, sorry :o

    Managed to get the boyf to help me escape for a wee while, has really calmed me down :o

    Feel a bit bad about my rant, it's so frustrating having this debt hanging round my neck (ok it's not massive, but it's massive to me) which is making the forthcoming move even more difficult, how on earth am I going to be able to afford to move out when every penny I'm earning right now is going on debt repayments that are just over/around the minimum :( and I'm just not seeming to be able to make a dent on them, but living at home is driving me quite literally insane.

    To keep me heading in the right direction anyway I'm going to get a couple of photos taken for ebay tonight, make my lunch, then early to bed. Up early tomorrow, work my socks off at work, then do ebay re-lists and get a couple of new items up too.

    To do tomorrow:
    *vb, bp & jpj
    *start doing some dy reviews (signed up the other night but have just been having a browse around & getting used to it)
    *ebay relists & new lists
    *pad
    *make my lunch for sat

  • Glad you cheered up DBG, I'm like you, except I spend pretty much all of my time at my boyfriends house, which isn't fair and I think its putting strain on our relationship if I'm honest.

    I hope you continue to feel more perky and better :)

    Hello!

    Another busy day here (always seems to be, but then I never seem to get anywhere near what I want done, done!)

    Had a couple of sales on ebay yesterday, possibly around £40 for me once I've bought the part for the car :) Also going to open my sealed tin tonight so I can get that banked this week, hopefully will be either just out of overdraft or not far to go :o

    Lunch today is leftover chicken & mash and some nice fresh gravy, yum yum.

    Have done vb, jpj and going to do some bp in a bit before knuckling down :)

    Evening! Have had a bit of a lazy day today :o None of the ebay listings that I had ending today sold :(

    I've done my bp, vb & jpj today but no payouts as yet from any of them. And there's no way I'm going to get out of the overdraft by next sunday, was talking about that with the boyf earlier and he says I always set my targets way too high, which I suppose is right really :o but at least I'm trying!
