Glad you're feeling a bit better about things, what did he overspend on? Can nothing be brought back for refunds? I've got tonnes on ebay finishing this weekend and no bids whatsoever
it's really quite depressing!
I like the idea of the crafts for kids you should go ahead and do it. Could you make these things and sell them on for profit on ebay etc? People are starting to get into the xmas spirit a little more now the cold weather has come! I'm hoping to have stuff ready to go up for sale by November 1st!

Kerrrrrrching £40 sale yippee and someone has asked us to hold a £30 item for them until tomorrow when they get paid. Only adding £30 to overspend as will need baby milk.
He spends on food/drink/fags, he told me he had given up the fags, he has no choice now plus it scared him when he realised he had no rent money! Mr Happy seems to have had the lightbulb moment (we will see!!) and has even started his own diary I did say he could just impose on mine but feels he needs to keep one himself.
I will have to work out if we can now afford the craft for kids, I would have an initial outlay for material/crb and insurance about £100 in total I may have to do an easter one lolElectric and Gas Predators 17/£700:j:j:j October make £10 a day challenge :j:j:j£155/£3100 -
Carboot this morning my 2 year old was an absolute nightmare she can be so embarrassing, she kept screaming as someone set up a bouncy castle just behind us and she wanted to go bouncing. Made £50 but put £10 petrol in so £40 to total.
Hopefully a £30 sale later!Electric and Gas Predators 17/£700:j:j:j October make £10 a day challenge :j:j:j£155/£3100 -

Had a really nice lay in thank you Mr HBS!
Just had a text about something else we have advertised but I have a feeling they didn't realise our location, they said they would call in 30 minutes but not holding breath! It would be a nice £50-£60 if it sells.
I'm a little concerned about my kids.... they are all behaving ummm somethings not right or they are conserving their energy for later!
Housework done, I may tackle the ironing seeing as its been winking at me all week.Electric and Gas Predators 17/£700:j:j:j October make £10 a day challenge :j:j:j£155/£3100 -
