Lists up for Thursday and Friday..
A further 10 bits chucked on ebeast.. I am not confident about any of it going.. but if it doesn't I at least tried.. it cost me nothing and I'll dump it all at nursery in the next few weeks if it is still here..
Tomorrow I will photograph the stuff from DS3's drawers and list that too.. in for a penny and all that.. I think I'll need to stop listing and look at parcelling and flinging after that.. I don't want to over-do it!

I have my nail appointment in the morning and don't want to be late as I have at least 3 need replacing :eek:LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
