    Thanks Emz and DF :A He has a lump where, how to put it, where most men dread :( They have said it is most likely a cyst and have referred him for an urgent ultrasound to get it checked out to be on the safe side. I'm sure it'll be fine but understandably it is playing on his mind a bit :(

    Tut tut DF! :D There's always time to join this week's challenge anyway - 10 items by the end of the week :)

    Completed 14 out of 25 things so I think I did ok with working both days and ending up going out on Saturday night as well as Friday. Pleased with myself for going running when I should, not so pleased with myself for not listing on Ebay! :o Will start a new list soon.

    I'm pleased with my stuff I listed the week before - one of the ebay item has bids up to £16 with 2 days left to go :D I thought I was lucky to get the initial £5 bid for it. Also, two books sold on Amazon - one for £25 and the other for £15 so need to get those wrapped tonight and post tomorrow.

    Hope everyone had a good weekend :)

    Oh, and £10 to the loan :D
