    Finally I have an ebay sale. School pinafore for £2. It was on all last week for 99p :D. Just need to run a quick iron over it and parcel up. Watchers on 4 other items too :)

    I've realised that i can list things quite easily straight from my phone so i will be doing that next time. No more faffing about downloading to pc then uploading to ebay. This way I can do it from the comfort of my own [STRIKE]office[/STRIKE] bedroom ;)

    Got loads of really decent summer stuff to list and am itching to get it all on but think it's a bit too early. Maybe beginning of March :think:

    Pole class tonight was really tough. There was only 3 of us and the teacher so it was more intense. I was in pain before I even left and there's a bruise starting to come up on my arm :( I don't usually start hurting until 2 days later. Had a lovely hot bath and feel a bit better now. i scrubbed all over with my HM scrub and did the OCM on my face.

    Feeling all virtuous that I have done 3 lots of exercise this week and it's not even wednesday :D

    I have been lurking on the decluttering thread and it has motivated me to have another clearout. If I've got DD's friends' mums popping over when it's her party I want them to see that my house is a reflection of the organised and efficient front that I put on when I'm at the school :D

    Might as well do it this weekend. It's going to be cold and it's the final weekend before payday in what has felt like a very long month. I might find some extra bits to sell too.

    I've posted off my ebay parcel and another present - £4.44

    5 watchers on the other ebay items

    £2 PAD to barclaycard

    Still £7.15 on OnePoll. They have been awful this week. I can feel a snotty email coming on.

    I might get a To-Do list together later and then I can have a real good laugh at it on Sunday evening when I see how little I've crossed off :rotfl:

    Starting to feel quite battered after last night.

    To-do list

    Clear out under my bed, sort into rubbish, charity, tip, ebay

    Ditto my wardrobe

    Ditto scary under stairs cupboard

    Sort out tin foil cupboard

    Get a decent toolbox together - quiet at the back ;)

    Trip to tip - 100% dependent on success of the above

    DD's homework has been done and I have cleaned the bathroom and cooked dinner. Towels are in the washing machine.

    Just need to iron a couple of duvet covers then I can flake out on the sofa :)

    Listed a couple of Wii games on ebay last night from the comfort of my bed. Easy peasy. Seven watchers in total on all my things. I am loving this ;)

    Might try to list at least one new thing every day :think: I'm sure I can do this.

    No run today as i) it is raining and I am a fairweather runner - don't like to get my hair wet and ii) I have a lunchtime meeting (but they are providing sandwiches which is just as well because I have no lunch with me :o).

    £1.82 PAD to barclaycard :)

    I have been playing around with the mortgage overpayment calculator (can be found on a sticky on the MFW board). If I were to overpay from now just £50 per month I would knock 2 years off the term :).
