One watcher on my perfume, :j

Is it cheeky if I just forget to go to the post office today. Just had such a bad day and the sprog (after screaming for most of the day)has finally settled down to sleep and I don't really want to move him. I think I may burst into tears if he started screaming in public atm.

I realise I sound like a bad mum but after the week I've had I just want to curl up and hibernate!

Gah, tomorrow has got to be a better day eh?

Keeping everything crossed for you!!!!

Thank you! I don't even know if he finds out today but we have been speaking in Spanish all day, not bad considering when I woke up I didn't know any! Although I'm sure when we meet some Spanish friends later we will be doing it wrong :P

Still no bingo wins. Hopefully all my luck is being saved...a win would be nice though!

Premium bonds - I thought it was a 30 day timescale to get cash back, but form implies its 8 days so not that bad.

If I had 10,000 k in the bank now I wouldnt invest in bonds as interest in the bank would be greater. But my thinking is that I wont have 10,000k in the bank until 31st December 2010 ! So whilst the amounts I am dealing with are only in the hundreds, I will personally invest in premium bonds as the interest from a bank would be minimal. I might invest in premium bonds for the first 6 months, then transfer to a bank account when its a decent sum of money ! God I am hoping !

I know a few people with bonds and they seem to get a few £50 cheques. At the moment I am working my butt off for £5 profit so £50 through the door would be a jaffa cake and tea celebratory moment

With regards to the Wii, I havent thought of papers and shops !! I will do that this week. Thanks for suggestion.

The car is a pain in the bum. I had an offer on ebay, I was happy with it, but the guy never contacted me again. It was due to run out of MOT and I had loads of question about what it needed. I knew it was a good car, so I put it in for the MOT and it passed without needing anything. Now this is the bad bit - I then raised the price. It is £500 - £1000 below market value at a buy it now with best offer option. I have priced it at £1000 more than I wanted as normally you get stupid offers but I didnt even get these this time - not even an idiot offering £1 which I always get on best offers !! I think greed made me increase the price - after all it only cost me £50 for the MOT so if I was happy with the price before an MOT, I shouldnt really of increased the price. Need to weigh up what I want for it, and what its worth !! It is a rare car, so I have checked out the competition and no one seems to have sold theirs at the moment so perhaps I'll hang on a little ?

I sold my car but it was dirt cheap £400 with 6 months tax on it, I think if you are asking a few grand (and quite rightly so) leave it until next week when everyones been paid - January is such a dull long month!

Good Luck with it, have you tried Autotrader - maybe people would buy off of there rather than eBay or if it's rare what about an Owners club?

okay, okay...... but to me sleep and peace and quiet are worth more than mere money..... however sometime you need to make money to buy the peace and quiet!! LOL!

moneymakestheworldgoround

oh I agree. I have 4 kids and I refuse to go shopping with them at all as I just let them buy whatever they want to keep the peace ! Costs me a fortune and rarely does it please them

In fact I dont even like to leave the house with them if truth be told !

I want to make this challenge so I can buy a big house and section them off !!!

VERY FAT DELIVERY

Even the buyers can tell my bum looks big in this.:eek:
