    Evening all

    Ice, I have ebayed most of my stuff thats was too big after my weight loss, there a few of us on here who ebay, so I'm sure we can help you with prices for postage, I sold a julien mcdonald dress that still had the tags on and it went for £20, so its worth a try.

    I try to keep my postage costs as low as i can, but as a rough guide i'd usually list £3 P+P for a dress, and £2 for anything else like tops etc. £4 shoes, or maybe £5 if they are in a box. BUt i try to recycle as much packaging as possible and am lucky in that respect as i get to recycle anything which comes to work packagin-wise so i never rly factor in costs for that.

    morning btw :)

    outfit:
    khaki green coloured dress with floral print, TU at sainsburys, not sure about this one yet, but bought it with nectar poiunts the other day :)
    cream cardi with some lace detail, river island
    those huge cream faith platforms from the other day..

    but what i was thinking this outfi could rly use is those topshop shoe boots ;D

    Good morning all - hope you are all well.

    I finished work yesterday for a fortnight and then the boys go back to school so I am back on track with my life!

    When I get dressed I will post back. Wearing Tesco teal pyjamas at the mo. I have not updated my blog since March so I am going to get back to that but I think I will change it's theme a bit.

    Morning, Happy Friday!

    :wave: Caroline, good to have you back. Look forward to your blog being updated.

    A lovely sunny day here and I've got the day off work - yay! But what to do? Is it really odd for a grown women to go and see Toy Story 3 on my own in the middle of the afternoon?? I'm really tempted...

    Once I'm up and dressed, will be wearing beige and black top, jeans and leopard print pumps.

    Char - Blog it!! It sounds fab. How did all your ebaying go?

    Hi Caroline, lovely to see you back :D

    Sarah - you should definitely go! I rather like just pottering around on days off and pleasing myself as to what I do. Solo cinema trips are brilliant.

    (((Sharron))) Hope you start feeling better very soon.

    My outfit is:

    Black leggings - M&S
    Black slip - DP
    Green see through chiffon overdress/shirt dress with tiny white polka dots - car boot sale (label chopped out so not sure where it's originally from)
    Black cardi - Hawkshead
    Black pumps - DP
    White & silver ring - Primark
    Mary Poppins locket - etsy
    Tibetan silver dangly earrings - gift :)

    Good morning.

    Its a lovely day here, got washing in so hopefully I will get that hung out and dried. I'm only working 3 hours tonight, so not going to know whats happening!!

    Just found out that my main job is reducing its opening hours to Mon-Sat (from Nov) which is a pain as I work Fri, Sat and Sun. (enhanced rates at the weekends too and it suits the fact that I don't wanna pay childcare) so I will need to rejig hours about and possibly find a third job to make up the hours/money.

    Also looking for a new hair style. I've had the same one since I was 11 (i'm now 22) and its below my shoulders with a few layers and shaped/feathered into the front. I need a change but I really don't know what. I'm thinking shorter with someting to give it a bit of body. I can always get the clip in hair extensions for when I want to go wavy etc.
    Make £10 a day challenge (August) - £175/£310

    Sarah - I used to go to the cinema alone all the time. I don't really go for chick flicks and prefer meatier stuff so none of my friends used to want to go. I remember going to see Solaris on a Friday morning and it was me and a man in there. I felt quiet sorry for him as I picked the best seat and he obviously wanted to sit in the same area but didn't wantto sit next to a random woman!

    Sharron - Hope you feel better soon. Glad your mum is ok.

    I am unimaginatively wearing old blue bootleg jeans and a cream lacy shirt both from New Look. No jewellery as yet, but I'll choose before I go out. I'm only going to Tesco today and to the Post Office to post an item I sold on Folksy.
