    They made me go to the local craft shop. Bad elves. :D

    Good MSE news though...

    I bought a necklace this week from Eclectic Eccentricity (I love this website!) and paid £48 for the necklace - £40 donated by my mum - and £5.50 for postage as it was to go Special Delivery. I tweeted them today and asked for the parcel tracking number as I'm very excited about getting it and they gave me the reference and then said that they had refunded all of the postage as it had been sent Recorded in error. Woo!

    In other good news, I emailed British Gas to find out if I could cancel my boiler cover as they had not been able to do the initial inspection and I have been paying £25 per month for ages without doing anything about it :o Turns out that because they have not inspected the boiler I can get a full refund :j Email sent to confirm and asking them to send me a cheque. I'm hoping it's over £100 refund, probably more but I'm not counting my chickens.

    Money

    PAD/Spends = £45 (Looks scary, but I have £30 cheque and £20 cash to put in the bank)
    Groceries = £152.71
    Entertainment = £40
    Purse = £2.46
    Outstanding loan = £942.58

    I have also been paying money off my credit card, so I'm happy with the amount outstanding on the loan.

    Ebay sales are sitting at £10.76 at the moment, although I also have watchers on 9 of my 11 items for sale. Many people are watching the £45 RRP perfume and the £75 RRP (!!) face cream, so I'm hoping to make over £100 after fees etc.

    In addition to this, I may have a buyer for the blu ray player I won a few months ago. I'm going to be selling it for half of what it's worth but better that than not selling it.

    Hmm...that was meant to be a quick response to you!

    Ooh, two questions/favours as well...

    1. Does anyone know when the next Tesco vouchers are due to be issued? I want to go to the craft fair at the SECC and can get a ticket for £2 in Tesco vouchers but I have cashed all mine in :( I'm hoping there are some due in the next few weeks but suspect I won't be that lucky...

    2. Does anyone use Cravendale and isn't collecting codes for kitchen gubbins? I want a moo-themed mug :D

    Early November I think for the vouchers. I've just spent all mine otherwise I'd have done it for you.
