Have been thinking some more about next years plans, a new thing I want to try is to either list all the freebies I get or keep tham all and make a big hamper with them (depending on expiry dates). I tend to get at least one thing a week I reckon, some of them are trial produts to test for surveys, some are freebies I send off for from the freebie board / facebook likes etc, some could be competition wins (here's hoping
), but all in all I think it does add up to quite a lot of stuff and would be interesting to track it

So after falling asleep at stupid o'clock (probably somewhee around 3am) ds woke me at 6 this morning to tell me the dog was snoring :cool: Having already taken it for a quick walk (very quick, just long enough for him to go to the loo), I'm now back in bed but far too awake to have any chance of getting back to sleep, boo!!
So, today ... several bits finishing on ebay today, up to a fiver so far, not expecting anything more really, they are all bits that have been relisted or were going to the car boot sale anyway, so even a fiver is good :T
Mum and Dad are coming round at about 10.30 this morning to collect the dog and to see ds's halloween show he's been practicingOther than that it will be a pottering indoors kinda sunday, its wet and windy outside and tomorrows back to school, so ideal for a lazy sunday in the warm, oh, and I still haven't been tempted to put the heating on yet

Woohoo, the ebay items have finished on £17.40 :j :j There are 3 more to finish, but two of them don't even have any watchers, one has a bid of 99p, so will add that on later
Really happy with this, 7 parcels to wrap up and post tomorrow, but it is all stuff that had been listed before and not sold
