    Well after finding that £1 coin earlier I was seeing what change I had in my purse and found a £10 note in a different compartment! :D. I seem to think I put it there last week when my purse was full of pound coins and I took it out to 'keep it safe', what a nice find!

    Just snaffled my sweet and sour chicken and must go and wrap my Ebay sales. Got my transformer models ending tomorrow so am hoping I'll make at least another £20 on those :j

    I was scouring the house last night incase I could find any more money but needless to say I didnt!

    Had a refund from Asda today and it looks like they did refund me the whole retail price of the smashed wine and beer as the refund was £8.65, that effectively means I paid £31 for alcohol with the equivalent value of around £55+ so can't moan too much! Still a little annoyed about the other bottles that were broken but at least OH got a surprise drink :D.

    Was a good girl last night and packed up all my EBay stuff and it's in the car ready for posting at lunchtime, got two items ending today and still waiting for someone to pay for a top they won on Sunday. Hoping that I will have around or over £70 to go to savings from paypal later this week and still have cheque from Music Magpie and pub wages to pay in, oh and 2 days till payday :j

    I am loving the whole ebay thing - it feels like "free money" to me!

    Guys it's all gone horribly wrong this morning.

    I think my DFW journey may be over, I can't say much on the forum but if someone wants to know gorey details I am obviously PM-able. Sorry to sound so doom and gloom but you know when you just get totally kicked down? It's one of those days....
