    Thanks for that - had to be super careful when playing - and yes some want £50 deposit to get back £2.05 - just dont have that kind of cash flow!

    Gambling - scared!!! Learned from reading your diaries that you need to have wits about you!

    Seems all the money making ventures are closing up/slowing down

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

    Still sore but healing!

    Yeah I work for Education Board, they pay sick pay because they pay crap salary LOL. Because I live so rurally I can't get a bus to work, I offered to work from home and they said 'no, we aren't insured just rest up and come back when you can' Meanwhile the work will pile up awaiting my return!

I have had a manic day the girl I work with phoned in sick had a new starter who im not sure will last the week and everything went wrong. I finished late and now planning on going in early to have an hour with no phones ringing just to catch up.
    So while resting I take it you can ebay the rest of you wonderful stuff LOL

    Oh pants, sounds horrendous for you!

    Well it is difficult to climb stairs and I do all Ebay in spare room (for obvious reasons) but yes I will get a bit more on - I have not hit even half my target for the month so need to get going!

    Thank you so much Karley, I don't feel in the least bit a pro here - I am still a flakey learner but learning a little every day.

    You are very welcome to hang around and hear and hopefully comment on the perils of living with a baker and managing a broken toe :rotfl::rotfl:

    X Factor - Love it!

  • Oh don't worry I'm sure you'll get comments back about living with a compulsive gamer who simply must have the up to date stuff while living on a minimum wage.. and hasn't managed to pay a bill on time in his life.. Oh to us women who look after the money :)

    Can't believe I forgot to watch it, thank goodness for ITVplayer
