    Thanks La Escocesa, have you got your new diary up and running yet? I've been keeping an eye out but may have missed it!

    I've not yet... Not really got round to it... :o I might get myself a wee hot chocolate and start one tonight. No time like the present to start looking at those debts and list them up in black and white... :o

    Glad you're ok Tattycath!

    DH has been very :mad: today because he can't find things amongst the clutter. Hopefully it will inspire him to get sorting!

    Today I have renewed my car insurance _pale_

    and put up the Christmas tree! :xmastree:

    I couldn't get a settlement figure for my loan to pay off due to their Saturday opening hours so I haven't done that yet.

    My ebay sales yesterday were £20.96 - not bad for some relists. I've got the rest going out tomorrow, but I'm not really expecting to sell anything there. That will be me then til Christmas. I'm looking forward to the break from checking ebay, packing and posting constantly! it will only be a week, but still I will enjoy it!

    I posted a parcel up to my folks in scotland today - 1st class. The PO said they cannot guarantee it will arrive by Christmas :eek: My folks have been receiving other post, so hopefully it will get there on time!

    Dh and I decided to go booting this morning, just to look, not sell. Picked up a few things, nothing too special. However, someone was selling the new A team DVD, and forgetting that DH bought it the other day, I picked it up. When he reminded me, I figured I'd just put it on amazon and flog it off. Well it's sold already! :j Very pleased with that. DH has watched it to check it's ok, and all is fine there.

    I've also sold a book on amazon today as well, so that is £11.55 to add to my total.

    Nothing selling on ebay yet, so don't think I'll have much to add now before Christmas.
