    Haven't had a chance to catch up on your diary this week. Always something around here to keep me on my toes believe me. I will get a chance to sit down later and read.

    Take care

    Fingers crossed it sells, that would be great to be able to cover the windows.

    I'm ready for the new month now too. Here's to a moneymaking October!

  • That would be great for me if it does go :)

    Hi ebayqueen - not much to read back on - brief synopsis:- lost motivation (due to lack of funds coming in), found motivation in time for October :) and currently misplaced it again :(

    Just doing small value re-lists on e-b*y just so i have done *something* positive :o

    Just want to say thanks to you all for your support on here - it does mean alot x

  • Eventually caught up with your diary Ddfw.

    I sincerely hope that you sell your item. It would certainly get you of to a good start with the house. Windows would probably the the most important job to get done first. What do you think?

    Hi DDfw

    I love this site too.:T

    Its great to have other like minded people around and the support given/received is invaluable.:)

    Hope your car boot goes well for you. I cannot believe the weather England is experiencing. Its rained here solid for 2 days but me being from the countryside will say 'great for the garden':rotfl:

    Hope we get our good weather back as Thursday was superb.

    How are you feeling?

    You may have read on Jwil's diary that I am after 20 years of child rearing going to go back to work. I am unsure what I would like to do so watch this space as they say.

    Take care and keep going ... what about your boiler?

    Hi everyone :)
    Ebayqueen - i will definitely watch this space - good luck with the job search :D With the weather i'll often say 'at least the plants don't need watering' But yesterday it rained and i don't think it helped at the carboot as it was quieter than usual :cool: Nearly everything sold though as we just dropped prices to make sure it all didn't have to be taken home again - the items weren't worth going on e-b*y due to bulkiness and it was just more important to clear the space so all good really :D I also managed to buy a pair of shoes - new in the box with tags on :) and 2 new tops with the tags still on :) Although those purchases ate into my profit somewhat :o
    Am up after a bit of a lie-in - my only one this week and off to work shortly Bleurgh! Saturday was taken up with e-b*y - mostly re-lists and 1 or 2 newly listed items, a walk, a family visit and going out to load up the car ready for the carboot sunday. Sunday was up very early for the carbooty and came home had a coffee a shower and then headed out with OH :)
    Somehow though it doesn't feel like i got alot done this weekend - oh well! Today i am hoping to start on the big declutter and deep clean on the next room on my list :cool: This will be when i get in from work - given the difference it has made to all the other rooms though i am hoping there will be an equally big impact once its done :D

    Have a good day all x

    Hi DDfw

    As an onlooker I think you get lots done my dear :)

    You seem to be in a tidying mood and that can only be good. I need a good kick up the (trousers, pants, derriere) :)

    Good to get a few bargains at a car boot. Amazing to be able to buy brand new as well. Don't be too hard on yourself and sure if you don't wear them you can ebay them before Christmas for pressies for someone else.

    Take care

    Hi all :)

    hi ebayqueen - the tidying is more of a necessity :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    I must must must start keeping a spending diary :cool: need to keep track of where my pennies are going ;)

    Just found out some of my quidco cashback will be being paid next pay date - not sure when that is but still :T hoping the rest gets in shape and gets paid at the same time too ;)

    Bleurgh! Just done as many surveys as i can manage and not be screened out of :cool: Checked for MS's, done 2 x free bingo, checked e-b*y - few watchers and no bids :o

    Still vastly tired - had about 2 hours sleep satday - sunday and not caught up since *yawn*

    Hope you get some sleep soon DDFW.

    Well done on your car boot finds - it's always satisfying!

    Hurrah for cashback - it always helps!
