    Think its Eb*ying my pants off to day...well not literally things are not that bad! And getting a bit order in the house before the return to work and usual after school routines:eek: also a huge frog to deal with which I had genuinely forgotten about and needs dealing with pronto.

    I think the worrying thing about e*bay is that someone would buy your pants....

    I have an army of frogs to deal with unfortunately, I hope you clear your frog today!

    £27 to last til payday:eek: Just found £50 lurking in p*yp*l account so that will help. Will have to use CC for diesel next week but that is always paid in full as we only put fuel on it but can see me having to use it for a food shop at this rate - time to search the pockets and behind the sofa for loose change:rotfl:

    Have been demon eb*ying today so hopefully my 'pants' will keep the wolf from the door for a week or so - sorry have not been selling my pants - just the clothes off our backs:rotfl::rotfl: Only joking. Mostly stuff we no longer wear, no longer fit or no longer use. Doing quite well with bids too - something I listed for 99p has a bit of a bidding war going on - totally mad if you ask me but who am I to argue;)

    Just crashing in cos have a busy evening running into a very busy weekend ahead of me.

    We got a letter today from the Black Horse to say they will refund our PPI plus 8% interest to 'bring us back where we would be had we not been fleeced' just shy of £4250:eek::eek: worth filling in the on line form and putting a stamp on I say - we expected nothing as we had claimed against it and had NO details only a policy number. And in the same post OH gets letter from HMRC to say they owe him £250 - how great is that:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::T:T:T:rotfl::rotfl::T:T:T

    Just off to buy a lottery ticket now;)

    Dropped DD2 off for swim lesson at 8 then off to the gym pool for 40 lengths doing battle with the bow waves from the hairy torpedoe and the bad tempered octogenarian :eek: Trying to clear the head of a fug and get some energy from somewhere - I find swimming goes some where to achieve this! Also I can do a lot of thinking at the same time and especially in the steam room after:) And I have been doing a lot of thinking.........Anyway back now so a quick catch up and tidy up and then a trip to Mr T:(:( cos too busy Friday and Saturday - I hate shopping on a Sunday but need to get some basics in just to see us through next week.

    OH is busy making bread which means kitchen out of action for most of the day:mad: Its lovely but boy it takes over.

    Foot note to bad tempered octogenarian : as I was leaving she was singing along with AHa 'Take Me On' which was playing in the background in the changing room like it was a song from her youth............... makes me think she is not as old as she looks just not aged very well or had one too many goes on the sun bed:eek:;)
