    Hi all ,

    Well i'm happy to say i've managed to get 18 nsd's only 2 more and i'll have reached my second target!!!


    Also i''ve managed to stay neutral regarding christmas presents.
    Well i've no money spare only for bills.

    BUT i managed to keep all the money i made from selling stuff on ebay, which is a whopping £60. So far i've managed to buy present so far off ebay,another i'm bidding on now.
    Recieved £20 worth of vouchers off surveys so bought two more presents off amazon.

    Just for £40 worth of amazons vouchers to come through and fingers crossed will get some more pressies with them.
    If they don't arrive i'll buy ds2's birthday presents with them for february.

    So far so good.

    Evening all! Well call me Spendy and slap me with a wet kipper ... a spendy one again today :o goodness knows how as I am barasic lint until pay day tomorrow. But friend suggested a coffee at lunchtime and it was my round, and as my NSD was broken I did a bit more Xmas shopping online and bought my friend in Oz a jewellery box and makeup bag from Secret Sales, plus a Telephone box door stop (one of those sand filled ones) for my Bro's GF either for this xmas (though I've already got her presents) or next year. Also treated myself to some mitten/gloves and my friend bought a doorstop too for her sister. Bill including the doordstop my friend will reimburse me for, £30 (ish), saving - about £40 :j plus I'm glad I've got the Oz present sorted - its so hard trying to buy for someone you don't see often, plus consider what you are buying due to postage.

    Also tried to get the camera I want for my mum on the Amaz*n Lightening Sale but after hanging for an hour in the queue, it was sold out :( somehow I think I might have to accept I'm not gonna bag a bargain with that one.

    Karom - I know exactly what you mean about charities, there's always stands in our town for one charity or another but I choose to support my local Hospice for personal reasons and stick to that - but don't the rest make you feel guilty!

    BDINI - good luck, fingers crossed, break a leg and all that with the job interview :)

    Welcome to the gang eBayqueen, and big hello to Spoony - great to have you back but no overdoing it miss Spoon - need you fit to strip the willow, dance the gay gordon and all that on 30th x

    Hi everyone,

    declaring early today - #15 so target met!
    Yippee!

    The Avon lady's just been, but I had her money stashed away last week. However, one of the items I ordered was for a Christmas pressie, but it looks really cheap and nasty. It was a tenner, but I think I'm going to return it ( I dont usually, and the unwanted item ends up in a drawer marked " make up disasters") I feel a bit embarrased returning it, but they have a 90 day no quibble guarantee. Any thoughts? i know what you will all say actually, just need a bit of Dutch courage:o
    I just hate the thought of wasting money!
    Have got most of my C-mas shopping done, just one to get, but I need to buy wrapping paper etc. A trip to £land will sort that out!

    Have a good evening everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.
