    You have a PO open on a Sunday?!? Wish ours was, would make life so much easier than trying to get in to it during the week.

  • When I get back from the shops I'm going to do a homemade pizza for my lunch and we'll have the chicken when Top Gear is on later :D

    Cheers for the reminder :T

    Not that I can see, might have to try it and find out as I don't mind getting the money in $ as it's easy enough to convert, not the best rates though, and I get some other things paid in $ in to paypal so it mounts up quite quickly to convert a fairly large amount at once.


    I've had it as cash twice. They don't charge you, but you get hardly anything. I got £3.01 the first time, and then £2.97. Much better value to get the £5 amazon voucher for your efforts.

    Phew! I've arrived on your thread. Can't believe you're a MFW now - good work, Mrs!!! Had a quick look at your homepage, your cards look great. I've not done any crafty stuff for ages, but plan to get back into it once i've moved and am all settled.

    Can't wait to see which handbag animated-smileys-shopping-012.gif you buy - i didn't realise Mulberry's are just so expensive...but they are oh so cool ;)
    One step at a time ;)

    Morning all :)

    I've had a bad night's sleep and am already looking forward to 5pm when I can finish work and come home :rotfl:

    It's not all bad news though - I've received my last Ebay payment and have withdrawn £22.28 from Paypal. I've also received a cheque for just over £3 for an off-Ebay sale, so that's going in the bank today. I'm going to leave Mr Fresian the parcels to post and hopefully save on postage too :D Both of those payments will be going in the overpayments pot, as they are from extra money made.

    Better get a move on - I still have to shower, make lunch, prepare Ebay parcels and hang out washing, all before 7.35 :rotfl:

    That was a lot to achieve in 30 minutes! Did you achieve it? I try and get DH to post parcels too leaving more profit to pay off the mortgage. I have got away with it quite a few times!
