  • Hi everyone, hope you all had a nice bank hol!

    Today I've done the following:-

    - Found a cool website (thanks to a fellow MS) that I can sell my DVDs/CDs on (easier than eBay and get a guaranteed sum).
    - Written a list of things to sell online
    - Finally found the cheapest insurance I'm going to get being a young driver!
    - Put some silver into my sealed pot :)
    - Bought only a small bottle of shampoo to try rather than a big one (H&S colour, hope it works)

    And I'm going to...

    - Pledge a few NSDs after advice from another fellow MS!
    - Put all CDs/DVDs on above mentioned site
    - Make a diary for my spending (again, following a MS's advice)

    Oh and before I go... happy Star Wars day! hehe :rotfl:
    October Grocery Challenge - £67.18/£135

    sold a book on amazon and saw it was just down the road... so instead of posting it, dropped it in by hand.
