Still waiting on my NPB to sort it out and pay for her item. Bah!
On the plus side, I sold a load of stuff via FB last night so have almost £50 sitting in my Paypal account
This morning I'm off to Aldi for my top-up shop then the post office to send off all my wee sales. Tomorrow it's the big craft show at the SECC :j:j

Morning folks
It ended up being quite a busy day yesterday with trips to Aldi and the Post Office, a tidying of the living room, kitchen and craftroom and I also varnished a wee storage cabinet ready for all the stuff I'm going to buy today :rotfl::rotfl: The kitchen looks like a bomb has hit it again as I made roast chicken for dinner last night, so I'm going to try and get some dishes done before I leave.
I slept really badly last night so have dug out the Proper Coffee and am trying to caffeinate myself into consciousness
This morning I've redeemed with Swagbucks, so have a £5 Amazon voucher on its way. My Amazon account only has £5 of credit in it just now, so must work harder! I keep getting screened out of surveys at the moment though
Anyway, tis the Massive Craft Fair at the SECC today so I have to get a move on. I have my cash budget in my purse and just need to stop by Tesco to buy a backpack to carry all my purchases in! Have a good day all

A brilliant day was had by all
I came home with money, although I went with a healthy budget paid for by overtime, so that's not as impressive as it sounds :rotfl: There weren't as many bargains as I would have liked, but I think that the internet makes that harder each year. I still got some lovely things (pictures on FB for those interested) and was very pleased with my haul.

Entertainment - £32.21

Morning all
Paypal money, Quidco and my Reward payments have combined to make a healthy PAD of £39ish. Most of it has gone to the laptop/vet bill, but I PADded £5 to my loan as well as I don't want to forget about that!
I've not done many surveys this week, mainly because I've been crafting like a demon, and want to keep going with it while the urge to make Christmas cards is still upon meI'm going to take some photos of them and will try and upload them tonight after Fat Club. I'm hoping for a reasonable weightloss at Fat Club - 2.5lbs would take me to 2.5 stones, but I'm not sure if I've done that well
Best dash - 8am start at work, which I'm on time for, but I want to nip to the Post Office first! Happy Hump Day :T

What time does your post office open? Or is it just for collections?
Hope fat club has been a successOne step at a time0
