    Thank you! I'm so excited - my boyfriend and I have been living in a flatshare for ages whilst he finished College and secured a job, and it's been driving us crazy. can't wait to escape!

    Great tip with the incense, definitely will! Give it a week or two and the house will smell of HM bread and lavender! Ahhh x

    Yeah I wish we had bikes.. that would be fun and good for the old butt..

    I suggested going to the zoo ( I'm a big kid at heart) but o/h said it probably costs a fortune now. :mad:

    We go to the Zoo about 1/2 before last entry time and it's free in...then you get about 1.5hr around the place...yes some of the enclosures are closing, but it's still a nice walk around the place and it's all lovely and quiet!!!

  • Woohoo!!! I made £71 on eBay this weekend!

    I have also listed (half) the junk I found under the bed - all ending by this weekend coming so hopefully should come to a tidy sum!

    I have almost made enough to clear my Dentalign debt so I can move onto and clear and close my Lloyds Credit Card debt!

    Will be debt free in no time!!:beer:

    i love having a huge sort out. u know the type of drawer u have that u just can't open or shut anymore cause there is so much junk/rubbish in it. well for some reason when i have sorted the drawer/s out i feel so much more calmer inside. very odd but true.

    i always do 1 day listings on ebay and it so much fun when they end seeing how much money i have hopefully made.

    i do find it is easier tho to sort everything out when i am on my own. with hubby and kids around i get so easily side tracked
