    Nice work with the eBaying FF - likelihood is that the items that have watchers but no bids will sell as well, of course. Good stuff! :T

    Money Post

    PAD/Spends - £85
    Entertainment - £18.13
    Groceries - £45.71
    Purse - £22
    Outstanding loan - £537.52
    Outstanding credit card - £26.37

    I got home last night nearly an hour late due to sodding train delays. Bah and indeed humbug. I was a very Cranky Fresian by the time I got back :mad:

    My mood was improved by the post though - a voucher for a free packet of Skittles thanks to a Facebook comp, and one of my £10 cheques from the Walkers comp :D

    Ebay

    25 items
    10 have watchers
    5 will sell for £36.35 :D
    Despite that fact that we have the Weather Of The Apocalypse, I need to head to town later to pick up some padded envelopes from Poundland so I can do a mass posting on Saturday afternoon. I also want to nip to my local craft shop as it's having a closing down sale.

    Happy Friday everyone :j

    Enjoy the craft sale FF - have you got a secure lockable room to put the elves in while you're there?! ;)

    I have £20 cash with me and that's my limit.

    Hopefully the elves will forget about my debit/credit cards :D

    Evening all!

    I've deposited my £10 from Walkers into the bank this afternoon, so that's tomorrow's PAD taken care of!

    I have also been to the craft shop and spent a whopping......£11 :A As they're closing down they were giving a 30% discount for spends over £10 and, well, it would have been rude not to oblige ;)

    I'm now over £50 in Ebay sales, which is fab, and I'm hoping that this will improve in time for tomorrow afternoon when the auctions end. I still don't have any bids on the Lego I'm selling though, which is a bit of a pain...

    Hope everyone is having a lovely evening :D

    Morning all!

    My latest Walkers cheque arrived this morning, so I'll be heading to put that in the bank later on. Another £10 towards the Evil Debt :D

    Ebay sales currently total £52.73 with 7 hours to go on some of them - the rest end tomorrow. I'm going to use my own money for postage so that when I get the money through from Ebay the whole lot can go to the loan. I'll make sure and pay my fees from Paypal first though!

    I don't have a lot of plans for today apart from maybe some washing and some cardmaking. It's Mr Fresian's sister's birthday next week and we're going out for a drink with her tonight. I don't plan on staying for very long because it's too long until payday :o Speaking of which, here's where we are with money:

    PAD/Spends - £80
    Entertainment - £18.13
    Groceries - £41.16
    Purse - £5
    Outstanding loan - £522.97

    There are ten days until payday...:eek:
