CL - strange how sometimes are body needs a complete recharge
But how much better we feel afterwads. I sometimes find if I stop in bed too long I feel really sluggish throughout the day, its odd because I normally get up at 630am, so now when I wake up at 8am and im not tierd its like ive had a lie in, but a month ago getting up at eight am OUCH lol.

I have to say, my sleeping pattern is a bit strange at the moment! Sometimes I don't sleep at all, some days I am in bed at 2am then have to be up at 6am, then others I go to bed at 10pm and sleep right through until 1pm! :S I'm amazed I didn't wake up this morn... as it's always so noisy in our house.
But anyway, how are you all getting on? With it being Sunday I guess there hasn't been much shopping going on? NG did you do some unshopping today?
Tomorrow I plan on taking back a top that I really like **but** I haven't wore it (bought 2 weeks ago) so doubt I ever will. Plus lots of parcels to post... urgh.0 -
Hi all
NSD for me. On the subject of sleep, I've been strange lately because before I used to feel as though I was drugged and had trouble getting up in the mornings (staying up until 3 am didn't help) but it used to really worry me there was something wrong with me.
Now it's the opposite where I can go to bed late yet still be awake very early. Might be the clocks changing and the dawn chorus having an effect.0 -
Morning all

Talking of sleep - if somebody said a month ago, you would be awake at 630am, having took the washing out, made the bed opened the curtains and made your packed lunch for the day, i;d have laughed :S I wasnt going to sleep until 2/3am and then getting up about nine am, boy my body clock was shot. Im still adjusting to it though its been midnight often before im tierd enough to drop to sleep over the past three weeks, but last night it was 10pm
Doesnt help my dad is snoring the house down and id kill to get back in my bed for a couple of hours and sleeep lol.Learning to be 'good with money'0 -
CL, I am banned from eBay and Paypal; long story short...I sold an item on eBay and it turned out the buyer was someone I knew who was broke so he decided to pretend to have not received it, after emailing me to thank me for it, so he could claim a refund...and he did this. Paypal refunded him and I'd already banked the money so now they're chasing me as I "owe" them the original money he paid, X4 because of their f'ing charges...got banned from eBay and Paypal and can't get any credit because of this c**t. It sucks. I am selling on eBid but it's very slow; out of 112 items I have for sale there at the moment, only 7 have any bids at all.0

Hey all, at Mum and Dad's for a few days so just catching up.
Glad you had a good hol Morocha. CL how have you managed not to have an interview ever?!
Had a fab week off work. Spent a bit seeing mates but nothing I hadn't budgeted for!'The road to a friends house is never long'0 -
Souk: I've somehow managed to dodge them all of my life the only job I ever had didn't require an interview. Uni didn't require any formal interview either.
To be honest, I'd rather to a presentation in front of 300 people (which I have managed to do) than an interview on a one-to-one basis. It's something I really need to get over...
FE: what a !!!!!!. Is there no way you could get a family member to sign up for you in their name just so you can sell..? Though I could understand if you wanted to avoid flea'bay altogether. I would recommend Hotukdeals forum for selling though.
Today's spends were £1.35. I went to Boots on the hunt for an electric toothbrush which is half price on the web site (exciting, I hear you all cry) but they didn't have what I wanted, so I came home empty handed. I was tempted by pretty nail polish, but I resisted :eek:
I did my paper recycling, posted a couple of parcels, changed a single solitary euro that I found, and then came home with mumsy. Annoyingly, one of my ebay buyers paid for their item when I was out so I'm going to have to go to the Post Office again tomorrow.0 -
No CL, sadly thats not an option.
Was being good today til I saw 24 cans of Kopparberg for £14 in Tesco; it would have been rude not to.....

Cider is my favourite (apple though, not fond of pear for some reason). Merrydown used to be my tipple of choice but I don't drink anymore, it sends my anxiety through the roof.
Hrm, I think I am going to spend the rest of the night doing some decluttering. Might even set up the ab trainer that I won a year ago :S0 -
CL - nothing nicer on a really sunny day a nice bottle of cider, probably magners apple - not pear i dont like pear either - with the sun bouncing down
