Today has been much more productive, after a week or so of lying in bed 'researching' I have updated my Cupcake Website to include Styling parties, china hire and other things. It's all stuff I have at home already, I might as well make use of it, or rather let others hire it and enjoy it! Let's see how it goes.
paid another £100 off Credit Card today and £100.00 off ne*t and Council tax so feeling quite proud, mostly money I made from making crafty stuff and selling it on ebay, I haven't paid the ebay fees yet so need to take that into account.
Didn't manage a no spend day today, it's my last day of sick leave from the tonsils so I went for a £5.00 pub meal and a lime and soda with a friend for lunch, also spent some money on some vintage cider jugs, gulp!
The boys are all away at their dads this weekend so I'm going to give the house a good clean, it hasn't been done in two weeks, feel motivated though, and it's my last cahnce before returning to work.:rotfl:

Well after two weeks of practically no spend, I blew it big time on ebay yesterday, silly really, I bought loads of China for my hire business but have'nt got anyone to hire it - so it's not completely wasted but will be a SLOOOOOOOOW return. I did sell one thing on ebay though for 0.99 so it doesn't quite balance out!!!!:eek:
Made a few things for a craft fayre yesterday and have some ebay things finishing this week so hopefully I'll be able to put the money back in the kitty.
Just have to buy cat food, bread and washing liquid today - everything else is coming out of the freezer.
Dr's appointment tonight to sign off my throat, dog walked already and back for my first day at work - hope they are gentle with me.
Don't know about anyone else but I'm suddenly feeling really christmassey

Have a brilliant day
Vintage! x

Well planning on today being a no spend day - challenge accepted!
Still waiting for some ebay payments, but it's that time of the month were everyone is waiting to get paid.
The loft gets finished being insulated today, I'm hoping it makes a difference to the bills.
Dinner from the freezer again tonight.
alot of driving to do today so I know I am going to be tempted by chocolate at some stage, i'll resist the urge, put plenty of fruit in my lunch bag so should be ok. Will however be passing one of those outlet villages on my travels so hope I don't get drawn in......

have a great day all, misty here this morning when I took the dog out

the loft insulation has made a massive difference to us, have u had the cavity walls done yet? xx
