    I think the feeling sick is nerves, just not very long left to go now.

    I have started a little money box today, and will be savings £2, £1, 50p and 20p's. I just syphoned off a couple from my purse so I wont miss it and when I have a bag ful to bank it'll be another little way to go towards an OP.

    Another ebay parcel posted today, and have enough to withdraw my target amount from paypal. Just going to wait for feedback to make sure all is ok.

    Cooked a large sheppards pie this morning which I will use for tonights dinner at work. Also made mushrooms and cheese on toast with lots of watercress for lunch. There was nothing I fancied but really pleased that I found something and resisted the shops.

    Thanks Jellie, good to see you back on the boards. Try not to worry about the wedding, save your nerves until nearer the time.


    £35.35 landed from TCB this morning. Half went to mortgage OP pot. Two ebay sales ending this morning, both with bids which is good.

    You haven't seen the state of my bank account though Jellie lol.


    Today I ended up staying at work for four hours extra as someone called in sick. I did have to pay for extra nursery for DD so I really hope it paid me to work extra. I'm still going to suck up the nursery cost though and OP the wages (after tax) on my next months payslip to make it worth my while psychologically to work the extra.

    I've also added £1.70 to my coin pot and sold two more items on ebay.

    Shattered tonight though.

    Been shopping this morning and was organised for once and got lots of meat which has been portioned out and froze. I have pizza dough rising so I can make a pizza to take to work for dinner tonight. I'm going to make a chicken and noodle stir fry for lunch with lots of lovely green veg to give me some energy.

    Just about to go to the gym then back, cook then it'll be time for work :(

    Still one more shift and then am off for a week. :)

    Oh and it's a free listing weekend this weekend too :D
