What a cutie Bailey is too.

You've got the rest of the year, I looked at charity shops, but had no idea what will sell, I did cheat slightly brought a watch for bday, but swopped things around, Morgan watch from Argos, was £45 reduced to £11, sold it for £22, just waiting for the buyer to pay

Big puff of hot air bing sent - add the steam for you!! x

Thanks for the steam!

I hate it when people don't pay right away on Ebay - I had that once with somebody who waited 3 days before paying - surely if they throw in a last minute bid and win, common sense would tell them to pay there and then - I ended up having to send them messages before they finally paid! :mad:

My Ebay is looking a bit better, I've got a bid on one thing and a watcher on two others. They've still got over a day to go so I'm hoping there will be a bit more interest.

Yesterday I went to B&M (I was very excited as I don't get to go often!). I found a chocolate set in the shape of different tools- hammer, screwdriver etc. The chocolates are massive and the set cost 99p. It's going to be a gift for DH's stepdad as he is the handyman of the family and always gets asked to help in any DIY situation.
I also found some fabulous room stickers for my son. They are in a HUGE pack and have 2 sheets of stickers. I got him 2 packs of space and alien themed stickers for the grand total of £3.58! I've covered his bedroom walls with them and they look so good! He absolutely loves them and shouts "WOW!" whenever he walks into his room

Have listed a few things on ebay making use of the free listing lets hope some sell.

Is anyone else watching Boyzone on ITV? It's taking me right back to my teenage years, I had the biggest crush on Ronan Keating How times have changed, I prefer tall, dark and tattooed now (yes, that's my DH!)

On a different note, I've just managed another review on dooyoo. Now I really must tackle that pile of ironing or I'll have nothing to wear to work tomorrow!

I'm watching it!! Absolutely gutted through, missed the first half :O( have I missed Robbie? Yum Ronan is still good looking lol, hes got a fab voice, I know I shouldn't admit it (with me being under the age of 70 and over the age of 10 lol) but I love most of their songs, esp the one they just sang with mika, didn't know he had written it!! xx

I wrote a review for Nanny McPhee - and I'm waiting for it to be added, along withhow to train your dragon. I must get around to doing some more in the week though. I'm managing to keep up with the reviewing although I do it every couple of days now.

I completed the march challenge - I had someone buy the third item on buy it now.

I hope you don't mind me joining in. I don't know how often I'll post but I would like to join in :rotfl:

So far this year I've got £10 in Sainsbury's vouchers from lightspeed and £13.50 from Tesco clubcard which I guess isnt bad seeing as I barely used Tesco (or lightspeed for that matter!) And I've earned about £10 on onepoll as well since December (I think it was about the 29th I started..) so again I guess not too bad. I really need to do more though.
