    Just spent a very satisfying hour wrapping e bay sales...

    two of which I had been paid for; two I was waiting for. Then I checked on here and another had been paid, so very pleased with myself for wrapping it. In the process I have decluttered my shredding - because I have used it as packing!

    Also found ANOTHER Hallowe'en outfit, so have listed that...

    Morning all

    Woke up to no water :eek: rang to find out what the heck to be met with a message saying 'we know about it and are working on it'. Had a text to say school was open and by the time I got back from the school run the water was back on, phew!
    I know... one of our TA's had the same problem ;)

    I ned, please some massive amount of money (seems like) vibes and tips please

    DS is going on the school trip to the US of A..at the cost of a grand...
    *cofs and splutters*
    They opened the trip up to Y10s - ie DD

    who is a total USA freak and wants to go - now how can I say no to her when I said yes to him

    so any money raising ideas much appreciated (e baying like mad especially since I discovered free listing if you start at 99p or under)

    Any money 'from Santa' is going that way too...

    so mortgage OPs on hold
