    The item that sold on ebay was a school jumper, I had another identical one that I hadn't listed as the 'v' in the v-neck had pulled open, needing a few stitches. SO I emailed the lady who bought the sold one and asked her if she fancied another, at a cheaper price - she did, so I added on £2.50, have sewn up the v for her and wrapped them ready to go! SO that was a £5 sale in the end:beer:

    Had an email asking to sell my phone a bit cheaper than the BIN price - but I'd rather wait and try get the full price...it has a few watchers so hopefully one of them will fancy it:D

    I stayed up and finished writing the presentation:beer: Now I need to put it into a basic Powerpoint and then into notes on cards....oh and practise speaking it:o Happy that the main part is done though - if I had to I could deliver it from what I've written.

    So, today's plan is to do more work on that, go to PO and send the jumpers, return Lovefilm and Blockbuster dvds and buy milk. I have 'The Secret' dvd next on my list from lovefilm so hopefully that'll come this week.

    Girls are nipping in later to get changed and go to cheerleading practice, then staying at ex-mil's with their dad tonight, back tomorrow eve - hooray:T

    Not much spending today then - PO and milk. I totted up my outgoings and income yesterday...and due to the HB being up over the summer, I seem to have an extra £280 this month:) SO paid £100 off Next, £75 to the new phone - hopefully mine will sell though and cover that. I'm still unsure of my Next balance, with all the sale stuff in - still got stuff to come (parcel due today) and returns to go through. My sis owes me about £80 of it - I think I'll have another £100 to pay, then I'll be clear:D

    So banks are looking good - hardly touched my Tax Credits this week as girls not been around, there's £115 iin my Spends account and more TCs due on Thurs - so I'll move what's left over from this week on Wed night:)

    Stop lurking and come out into the open!

    I meant to say earlier, if you're not the biggest fan of PowerPoint, I have a really useful "hints and tips" that I could send you which shows you some of the basics. If you PM me your email address I'll happily send it on.

    Evening;)
    I've had a very boring and very unproductive day...oooops:o
    Nipped out to post the ebay sale today then went to my friend's for a cuppa for an hour. Came home but did nothing, just not in the mood - I do drive myself mad at times!

    Have seen girls briefly when they nipped in before cheerleading practice and again after, to get changed. Then they went off to ex's mum's with him for the night - back home tomorrow evening, thank goodness, I miss them:)

    So, tomorrow I have the presentations to sort out...have given myslef a right job now by doing nothing today. Oh well, won't worry about it:D

    So all I've spent today is almost £2 in the PO, didn't go and get milk...texted the ex and he brought some in for me - so free milk:beer:

    Was going to do my hair highlights today, but then remembered that dd2 likes me to put a little bit on her, so thought we can do that another day this week. Feeling tired now, even though I've done naff all....early night and hope to wake up with a bit more oomph tomorrow:o:o

    Read a bit more of The Secret and it will happen! I really must get into ebaying, I'm sure I've got loads of stuff that I can put on there but at the moment I just get my friend to do it for me (he is selling a couple of Muse tickets for me). Thing is I think I'd make a lousy seller by not keeping on top of things. I've definitely got some school uniform bits I could sell and I suppose now is the time to do it....
    It's not how far you fall - it's how high you bounce back.... :j

    Definitely get the uniforms on there now! I have another school skirt to list asap. Found an old iPod Nano in the drawer I'm going to list too...once I get started on ebay I find it quite addictive - go round the house looking for things to list:rotfl:
    Feeling tired tonight so time for an early night with 'The Secret' - have read most of it and have the dvd coming from Lovefilm very soon. It's quite exciting really, the thought of being able to attract things to my life....:D

    Ahh, have just googled it ... I remember a long time ago Bunnyinthelights did a thread called 'money is coming easily to me' (anyone else remember it??), and that was basically along the same principles and yes it seemed to work!! :D
