    I don't count anything I get re-imbursed for as a spend (for me this is Wednesday morning snacks for the pre-school class at the local school) - and eBay postage would definitely come into this category as you're not out of pocket by paying for it.

    Thanks CW! :) I was hoping you would say that! Let's just hope I estimated the postage right (I am still pretty new to Ebaying!)

    I keep pointing out to OH (who claims to have been "21 again" this year) that he'll actually be "21 for the third time" next year ;)

    Actually had an interesting conversation about ages while baby-sitting yesterday. Not sure how it came about, but GD1 started it off....
    GD1 will be 7 in August, and GD2 was 5 in April

    GD1 (to OH) : You're 62
    OH (to me) : I can see there aren't any secrets here then......
    Me (to OH) : Nope!!
    OH (to GDs) : So how old is Grandma?
    GD2 : 26
    GD1 : No silly - that's Mummy!!
    OH : So how old is Grandma then?

    Lots of puzzled looks on faces of GDs, followed by

    GD1 : 40-something
    Me (to OH) : OK, so we have some secrets :D


    (but GD1 is right - I am 40-something.... they just don't know what the "something" is :))
