    Bought 4 bits on ebay last night; a red cardigan for jubilee party (£2.50), some union jack little flags to go into fairy cakes (£1.20), a bus birthday card for ds (£2) and some bus cake toppers for him too (£2.50).

    Today I need to post the ebay item from yesterday, have a feeling this one won't go smoothly though :o Ds has football training tonight but otherwise its a fairly uneventful day ahead I think :)

    Ds football training went really well, hopefully that will continue in that fashion :)
    We went to see Dad after school too, not there long today though because of ds football.

    Spends today = £1.82 postage, £1.30 snack.

    Survey completed = £4 into the mortgage pot :)

    Morning all, back from ds drama lesson with an exam entry form (£21 :cool: ), I did a few bits of shopping while we were out; £1 on the car park, £5.70 on 2 magazines (was after the free gifts), £5 on some more jubilee bits and pieces, and I also picked up two parcels from the post office that postie couldn't deliver, although I have no idea why not as they would easily have gone through the letterbox and weren't signed for either :cool:

    Right, the rest of today will be spent trying to get the flat into some sort of shape, its a bombsite again this week :o, then watching the FA Cup final later at Mums :)

    My ebay bits finish tomorrow, one item I bought in the sale for a tenner and it is currently on £9.50 with 20 watchers :D Hopefully that will go a bit higher, the other items don't have bids yet although all except one have watchers so we'll see.

  • Ooh they are both fab! I'm probably not gonna be much help here as I would have said if it was for the school prom only the black one with red shoes and accessories would look fantastic but for a wedding the brown one with cream shoes and accessories would be very elegant. I'm sure you will look great in either :D

    Thanks PLMBL, thats my thoughts too :) I have the school prom in June, and three wedding invites, one is evening only, the other two are church and evening. No-one at the first evening wedding will be at any of the other ones, but there will be several people going to the prom and the other two weddings.

    So, I can either go for the black one and wear it to the prom and the evening one, or go for the brown one and wear it to the evening one and one of the other weddings ...

    I'm rubbish at decisions :D

    I am also watching several other dresses on ebay that I could wear to one of the other weddings and I could recycle my lbd for the last one (are you confused?? :p). I can't wear my lbd to the prom as I wore it last time ...
