    Hi Tiggy, you may be better off than you think - most people don't include ebay postage in the challenges (as it's paid for by the buyer;)) - but obviously up to you!


    Having a pretty good week so far ..... (can you tell it's getting to the end of the month and I've just about run out of money)!

    Monday - NSD
    Tuesday - NSD
    Wednesday - £3 on a prescription

    Have managed to avoid the temptation of *Bucks for the past 3 mornings (lost my flask at work but found it today - someone had kindly hidden it in a cupboard:().

    May be going downhill from here on in though as nothing in for lunch tomorrow.:(

    Fingers crossed & good luck everyone!:D

    i counted mine just because im a new ebayer and it takes 21 days for my payments to be released by paypal unless i get positive feedback so it will be a while b4 the postage cancels out! but thanks, well done on your NSD's! :)

    No worries Pointy. Hope you're head isn't too sore after last night's drinks. ;)

    No not bad at all as I didn't drink that much as we were doing the quiz. I ended up at another quiz tonight but got dinner too so I am £10 lighter after shrapnel goes into the penguin bank. Unfortunately that puts in the red for this week :mad:

    Total £42 / £40

    Hope you are all doing better than me. It is my own fault for going to the pub too much but I find it hard when OH is working away I don't like to come home to an empty flat.:o

    Thursday tomorrow, we are on the down slope especially as I have a half day on Friday and I am heading to Englandshire for the weekend :j:j
