    geepers I step away from your thread for a moment, (lol) and it all goes on!

    Glad you have seen through ex. I guess he must be desparate to avoid prison, and isn't afraid to use anyone to do it.....

    I hope the boots are FOAD fabulous?

    The boots are Emu Lo Stinger ones, like Uggs Chev. This morning it was really miserable out, and I wanted some nice cosy boots, so decided after umming and aahing over them for the last couple of years to get a pair for this winter :)

    That last fiver has taken you to a tad over 75% of this year's target - 75.0384%, to be precise! :j:j:j

    (And that is with one third (4 calendar months) still to go. :D:D:D)

    Fab progress Benben! :T:T:T
    If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.

    Home from a rather exhausting day; we went into school this morning, the kids did really well again this year, lots of smiles all round :T :T

    Then ds and I caught the bus (surprise surprise ;)) to Bournemouth and went hunting more of the lions ... we're up to 36 now, 14 more to go ....

    It was a great day out, loads of walking, lots of sunshine, we encountered a couple who had taken their rabbit for a walk in the park :eek:, an Arsenal fans recruitment van ?? and, best of all ... Steve Fletcher aka Supafletch ... a legend in the world of AFC Bournemouth :D:D Luckily we had the camera with us, so got a pic of ds with his favourite Bournemouth player :j

    Spends today = £5.40 on bus fares, £9 on lunch, £10 on new flipflops from Fat Face sale (mine had fallen apart after a fantastic amount of use), £3 in Thorntons on some choccy (needed to survive the bus journey home ;)), £1.20 for a bottle of water.

    Got home to find a bin has sold on ebay for £6, so off to add it to the pot :)

    Morning all, just sold my other bin item on ebay, so another £7 into the pot, which is enough to get me over my £500 summer challenge target :j :j It also means I don't need to worry about selling a bin while I'm away for the weekend, I can get them both off in the post before I go :D

    Home from a lovely weekend at my brothers, we have been spoilt rotten, lots of fun activities, lovely food and just a great all round weekend :T

    I came home to £15 of ebay sales, with 2 more items to finish on tuesday. I can't post any tomorrow because of the bank holiday, but will get them ready to go and then take them on tuesday morning.

    Nice one on making your target that is awesome! AND with having a good time over the summer as well. Especially well done on having a camera with you to snap that priceless memory
