    Hi I am back

    Sorry to be MIA for soooooooo long - lots of things going on so haven't had time to concentrate on the challenge but I can now.

    bad news is that I had my purse and credit cards stolen from work so have had to replace everything.

    good news is although I haven't made much more money I do have £30 to add to my total as I took in a stolen fuel card at work and got a cheque for £30 as a reward. I have done a little bit of overtime so can add that in when I get paid.

    what week are we on?

    well done to everyone on the challenge

    What a nightamre about your purse - glad you've been able to sort it though.

    Just listed big time on Ebay using turbolister for the first time - never knew about photobucket before and it's FAB!! :)

    Sold a couple of things tonight - some went well. Will update next week though as all the listing has made a dent in my profits!!

    Put £30.34 into savings today, this goes into my 'cash cushion' category for whenever I don't have work.

    There was £5.18 net interest in my IceSave account today as it is mid-month. This has gone into my Christmas category, I am being really strict on this.

    That means today campers, have managed to add £36.52 to my total, hoping clients will pay tomorrow/Weds so I can add more.

    I survived the boot sale :j I didn't lose the kids :j I spent a happy 5 hours of quality time playing shop and catch with them :j I got a sun tan :j

    I ONLY MADE A PROFIT OF 4.50 :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Got to laugh coz think I would cry otherwise :p

    I think I need to abandon kids next time and arrive for 6.45 a.m. to get a better pitch.

    I then went to the pub :o and spent my 4.50 profit :eek: plus a bit more :p - but the weather was nice - there was a bouncy castle and loads of activities for the kids and I didn't get drunk :T

    However, I did lose my house keys and have to stay at a friends house but have found them again now :p

    (still giving myself a big slap on the wrist and have signed up to the Unnessecary challenge :money: )
