    Just had a catch up on the last couple of days Reddie and Reddie friends. You are still keeping the sense of humour and that is what will get you though this.:j

    How is the mogg Jack? You did make me laugh about his sleeping arrangements. Only a man can mess that up. :rotfl:

    How is the ebay going - still haven't joined yet though had a quick look through it. One day. :D Still haven't done any market research but the one thing l have done is my £100 challenge. :o How long till l hit the £100 - well 1 day :rotfl:. Have spent some of it on things l dont need to buy for a bit and a couple of pressies. In fact spent £3 over.:eek: Only another 32 days to pay day then :rotfl:

    Alls well in the mad house at the moment (how long can it last:D)

    Have down loaded Fly lady on the internet - she was the one mentioned on Memory Girls thread - make do and mend. Have loads of emails from her to get through but it looks like she has little tips for organizing / cleaning home so good for me.

    Sounds like your doing great Reddie - hope the watch turns up soon. These days you have to pay the first £50 to 100 which is a bummer.:mad: Only ever claimed for 2 things in £30 years and they ended up paying for the mend not replacing, so gave up the ghost just after :mad::mad::mad::mad: Typical ! They definately got the best out of this little fat duck :mad:

    Hang on in there Hun and huggs to you , your moggs and your hard working hubby - he'd be lost without you.:A

    You are doing fantastic ...CI was certainly a good investment on my part ..it was mixed with terminal/disability and life insurance and was glad that I had it....I'd have been in a Pickle without it that's for sure so am glad that you're keeping insurance up.

    I'm a reader rather than a poster as well. Generally I'm either on at work or on DDs laptop so I don't get much time.

    At the moment I am writing this left handed whilst trying to soothe a teething baby with the other.

    You're doing great though.

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Jack is fine, she met the other cat Billie today - that did not go well at all. But we will perserve with them

    Ebay was so very quiet. Listed another 20 items and relisted the loads that didn't sell so lets hope this week is better!

    DH did not list anything and I will say no more on that issue :mad:

    Well if you spend no more, you have met your challenge ;)

    I am adding buyers on ebay to my list of those who pee me off.

    Listed DVD - stated shelf wear, got a neutral feedback - I didn't state the level of shelf wear - oh f off was my response! Stated is was a card cover and an original dvd from 80's and trust me it was in good order! The person has just joined ebay - don't they have a lot to learn!

    I am tired. I am tired because I ate and ate and ate - fat tired girl now!

    Finally I seem to have lost this tension in my shoulders - thats after 2 weeks off. Supposed to go back on Wed but think I will take the rest of the week as still not bored!

    Fingers crossed for another chq tomorrow and then I can finish off July payments and prepare for August!

    I'll second that! Do take the rest of the week off and dare I say it - don't worry about money for a few days! Now I'm not suggesting that you go on a mad spending spree, but maybe you should have a break fron your constant ebaying etc (I may just be saying this as I am extremely jealous at your motivation levels;))
    What ever you decide - have a good week:)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,
