    Fabby news..... I've sold 6 eggs!!!! I left them out during the day whilst I was at work, and when I came home some lovely person has bought 6 eggs!!!!! So happy! It's only a £ but still.:T

    On the mannequin front.... Last night I counted out my coppers and found I had £5.03 and today I managed to find a mannequin for £4.99 plus £4.75 postage...... but.... it was just down the road, so I messaged and asked if I could pick it up and she said no probs. So I took the car (unfortunately) to work so that I could go and pick it up, don't think I would have got away with hanging on to it on my bike!!!!

    So I have no excuse not to start ebaying now!!!!! And it didn't really cost me anything and can only help me sell my clothes.

    Really should go and have a peak at the spare roomm again as I left it in such a state yesterday.

    hmmmm am hungry and am wondering what to have for tea, think it will be either omelette or tomato pasta..... But far too early for tea so will have to wait.

    Oh dear poor you pippa, some parts of my house feel toxic to me too, which is why I am in need of changing things!!

    I couldn't wait any longer, I have just put some pasta in my flask and have just picked some tomatoes from the garden and have just followed jamie olivers simple pasta sauce..... and even if I do say so myself... the pasta sauce tastes delicious!!! I can't wait for the past to be done so that I can have it!!! I made enough for another couple of dinners, so nice and so cheap too, crazy!!

    Just put one of my t-shirts on my mannequin it looks really good, going to iron them then take photos and get my backside moving!

    Have been having alittle think whilst I have been eating my store cupboard dinner and I didn't have the best day at work today..... and usually i would just sit and dwell over how much I don't like my job etc. As I've just changed jobs I'm not going to fall into this trap again of hating my job for no apparant reason.... and I need to like this job, I need to do it for the next 2 years if I want to carry on my OU be a teacher and do my PGCE.

    So instead I thought that I would sit here and think about why I didn't have a good day, and in which ways I could change it.

    So reasons I didn't like my day:
    Lots of people ringing and selling things that just made me irate
    Everyone went out and I was rather bored with my own company
    My feet hurt
    and I was just generally a bit grumpy

    Ok so fixes to these things:: (some are rather simple)
    Don't get irate with people, easier said then done, but I think I might be super nice to them next time and they wont know what to do with themselves, which could be cause to be quite amusing
    Instead of being bored of my own company, turn the bosses radio up so I can actually hear it and sing away at the top of my voice as no one else is in.
    Don't wear stupid shoes to work, they might look pretty but thats about it (could even sell them on ebay!!!)
    Not really any reason to be grumpy apart from not getting my daily exercise as I had to drive to work, so I will just have to make sure I bike in!! Oh and am a bit grumpy that OH is away and I miss him. But I got to have a lovely chat with him last night, and we'll have a skype chat later, so definitely not a reason to be grumpy.

    Well that was easier than I thought!

    Right have finished tea and really should go and do something, like iron my ebay clothes and take pictures of them. I am definitely doing this tonight, if I don't please feel free to shout at me.

    Much love

    Missy

    Its coming up full moon so that can explain a lot. I still feel grumpy, tearful etc, and i am really pee'd off that we are going out for a family birthday meal on Saturday night that they definately cannot afford and I don't want to go as his GF does my head in, she's arrogant, moody and 20 weeks pregnant so the world stops for her. I think i will need to take £80 to cover the 3 of us, but I know them well and they will put drinks on the bill and I'll pay for them drinking loads when 1 drink does me all night. :mad: Other family going to and she knows they can't afford it as they owe her money.

    Now thats a toxic thing I could declutter - Miss ######. Would definately make me feel better ;).

    I have decluttered some carp but not sure how many bits :T

    It has been suggested that we delay or just not bother, we don't do birthdays but this is their first together (this time round - long story) and she thinks we should all do it, mind you she thinks we all love her to bits :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    DH said a few home truths to her the other day. She has turned down a free pram where the car seat clips on just because she doesnt like the look of it. She's skint (this is her 2nd baby) and beggars can't be choosy. DH told her we have our old buggy in the loft, in fact nearly everything is up there, but told her that we might have another so they can't have any of it. We have a boy and they are having a boy and they know its all up there, clothes and everything. I'm 36, and my first took a while to appear so this time it may not even happen, but I'm being obstinate and not even lending anything :D
