    I'm a right whinging wally in real life as my boyf will agree with- he gets all my moaning :D especially since it feels sometimes like I go two steps forward and one back, or it'll take forever to get out of debt :(

    Think I might start doing the exercise in the morning, it might wake me up a bit quicker and not wake me up so much before I go to bed :rotfl:

    Have a ham roll for lunch today. While I was rummaging through my wardrobe to find something to wear today I noticed a few bits that I haven't worn in ages, so tonight while the boyf is cooking dinner I'm going to go through it to see what can go on ebay on Sunday and whack it in the washing machine so it's ready.

    That's the plan anyway, lets see if it works :o

    Urgh, not having a good day so far. It's making me want to go treat myself on junk food and random buyings off ebay :(

    Work is slow and awful (in the main part), it's cold and rainy and the weather always gets me down, the dog next door won't stop barking - if that's what you can call constant yapping for well over an hour because it's been left alone, again, and probably needs out :mad: still can't get onto internet banking and it's frustrating me and some people are being right pains in le derriere :o

    Phew, I needed that mini rant, sorry! Right now I just want to go home and get stuff ready for ebaying tomorrow :rolleyes:

  • Aww hope you feel better DBG! Bad days always seem to be so... ugh...
    Keep on going! You'll be fine!
    I'm going to also do as many ebay's as possible tomorrow, I'm going to force my boyfriend to let me use his camera and get snap happy!
    I also made my bosses day today when I told him that it was free listing day tomorrow!

    Afternoon! It's a flying visit as I'm on a major ebay listing spree :)

    Hope you's are too!

    Purple, I've found that since I started making myself do my own lunch that it's got easier as the time's gone buy and I've had 9 days of different stuff that's keeping me interested :)

    Right, to the listing!

    Managed to get a good few items onto fleabay, then my camera battery died and the charger's at work, doh! Though the stuff I've got left to list I'm sure will sell so I'll get it all photographed over the week and listed next week :)

    Just off to make my lunch for tomorrow then maybe play a wee bit more bp before bed.

    Fingers crossed for a low spending high earning week!

    Thanks Zar,

    Think I'm about reaching the fortnight stumbling block :doh:but living at home is seriously stressing me out right now so I NEED to keep it up.

    Todays Plan:

    *Have made my lunch (Ham Sandwich)
    *Charge Camera
    *Do my PAD
    *Put Cheque into bank
    *Iron stuff to take photos for ebay
    *Actually get a decent amount of stuff done at work today!

    Here I go.............
