    Hey

    Ive hit that rock too, im nearly out of bits to sell really. The only bits i have left arent worth much at all and after fee's i would just be left with pence rather than pounds! lol

    Hope your car bill wont be too much, cars are such a drain on money.

    The car bill will be paid because it'll have to be paid, I'll worry about it when I know how much it'll be.

    Made one small sale on Ebay last night, not a lot but all helps. Really need to get some more bits on there though.

    Back to work today and the third week of walking in :( I guess I should think of the exercise and how much good it's doing me.

    Bit of a late post butI haven't really been around on here this week. The bracelet is really nice, it's one of my favourite colours too. Think of all that extra money you'd have for the wedding fund if you got into selling it ;).

    Thanks, and yes the fresh air and exercise is good for me so I wont grumble too much.

    I am costing out some supplies and website etc, and maybe set one up in the new tax year when I have researched everything properly.

    Hope you manage to find something to make some more money. I am sure something will come up.

    Thanks Wendz

    Kick up the bum time today. I am having my car back tonight as I have the dentist tomorrow and need a car to get there. Whatever was in my mouth has now turned into an abcess as my cheek is slightly ballooned on one side so lord knows what the dentist will say tomorrow. This may be my second set of anti biotics. I'm hoping he'll fill the other side so I can at least eat properly.

    OH's car still isn't ready and don't know how much it'll cost but if we have to use the loan that was paid off then so be it, we need two cars. OH is borrowing his Dad's car so he'll be travelling back and forwards tonight.

    I am making myself sort out for Ebay so I can raise some cash. This will hopefully go on supplies for jewellery unless something else crops up in the mean time.

    Payday tomorrow :D

    Long working day today :(

    £23 came through from recycling an old phone :j:j this will go towards dd1's new bedroom fund. All in the right direction.

    Your tooth problems sound horrible, I hope the dentist fills the ones that need it. You must feel like it's dragging on forever. £23 for an old phone is pretty good :).
