OH is feeling much better and even did some housework yesterday (gasp!)

It's free listing day today on fleabay so will do some of that.

We are all doing what we call in America "eating down the fridge" As long as it hasnt gone off, it is going to be used up. Stand by for some very strange meals x

I need to getting going on the Fleabaying today as well. I ahve piles of clothes all photographed, but thats as far as I have got.

I think "Strange Meals" are pretty standard for us lot, but I love to hear what weird and wonderful things have been conjured up, there have been some real delights in my house !!

Ooh, 'eating down the fridge'. I remember doing that in January when we had literally NO grocery budget. It all got a little surreal! There were some very weird offerings served up, but the weirdest thing was that Mr Happy didn't even appear to notice anything different! Let your imagination soar free

Hello Everyone!

Hope you are all well. Had a bit of flea bay action and made £16.94 today

Have lots and lots of clothes to put up, knowing that I missed a free listing weekend but oh well at least the decluttering is underway. My aim this week is to earn £49 on flea bay to pay for my shredder I had to replace as a house guest thought it would be ok to try to shred a magazine?!?!?!?! :mad:

It seems to me that if I was a houseguest and broke my host's belonging(s) I would offer to replace.

In any case my house keeper came back from Poland last night and boy the dogs were glad to see her. You would have thought they didn't get a cuddle or a meal the whole time she was away!

OH is feeling fine which helps. I was wondering how she would come through the surgery but it seems to have rolled right off her back.

Our big yearly holiday is in 18 days and I am feeling and looking like a whale. Tomorrow I have to do the "try on the holiday clothes that you haven't touched since last year" dance. Usually ends up with me trying to fasten shorts that make me feel like I am being sawed in half. Going to have to make do because holiday clothes are certainly not on the budget for this year. I am thankful that it is all inclusive becase then we wont be dipping into our pockets.

Managed to run for 10 minutes again without stopping so pleased with that. Will try again tomorrow.

Last meeting is at 7-8 tonight so maybe a littke stroll around the neighbourhood to make me feel like I am losing weight!

Well done you!

Common courtesy says that you'd pay for a new one. Why did they want to shred a magazine anyway? Was it a dodgy one?

Animals are like that! :rotfl:Always manage to make you feel guilty!

Excellent news

My sympathies, I know that dance so well, is it the one where you are left with a deep red welt for hours after taking the shorts off?

Good to see you! Only eighteen days until your holiday, lucky girl, where are you going?

Tonight will see me packing up all my sold fleabay goods during conference calls.

I love speedy payers!
