Aww brizzle that sounds like bliss.......instead tonight I've sat watching the stuff on fleabay finish.
After I've paid the postage we've made £70 odd so definately worth it. Whilst I was in the mood I've put another couple of bits on and will definately package them up during the week instead of like tonight, when I've got 8 packages to parcel up.
Not sure what to do with the money, think I'll just leave it in paypal for a bit.....out of the way!!!
Can't believe its Sunday night already :eek:, hope everybody has a good week.

Well done on the ebay sales Alice, perhaps you could put that money towards a few nights away further on in the year? You could either do the haven things in the sun or the cheap hotels, although ive never managed to get a cheap deal on those!!! xxMummytogirls x0

Thanks mummy, not to sure what to do about a break. We missed out on the £10 per person our local paper were doing, we just didn't have the cash then. Think I will keep on fleabaying and build up our emergency fund and then see whats what. xx DMP with CCCS started Jan12 £34,906 Jan13 £31,893 Jan14 £26,836 Jan15 £21,894 Jan16 £16,839 Jan17 £14,415 Jan19 £12,938ish Jan19 £9,649 Jan20 £6612 Feb 21 0 Self managed from Jan'17

Fleabay stuff all paid for and posted (nearly! 2 to post tomorrow, really should of waited and posted it all at the same time, doh!). Just got a few items on this week, we've got plenty of stuff to put on but it just seems to take up so much time......its because I keep checking if any watchers or bids.
OH,DS1&2 have gone to watch the football, tickets were free, and they got a lift but did put £10 towards petrol. OH put £10 petrol in DS1s car today as he has been using it to go to work as the weather has been so bad.
DS3 needs some more trainers for football training, they rubbed his feet last week but to be fair he's had them ages and has worn them out. Will possibly go tomorrow after swimming, will check what sort of mood he is in.
Still only managed 1 NSD so far. xxDMP with CCCS started Jan12 £34,906 Jan13 £31,893 Jan14 £26,836 Jan15 £21,894 Jan16 £16,839 Jan17 £14,415 Jan19 £12,938ish Jan19 £9,649 Jan20 £6612 Feb 21 0 Self managed from Jan'17

Hi
Re holidays..try the Breakfree Holidays site. Think they started a new promotion this month.
Boo to needing trainers but the kids do have to grow I guess!
You are doing much better than me..no NSDs as yet despite my best hope for today! Fingers crossed for all of us tomorrow.

The laptop froze on me last night, aarrgghh! But before it conked out I managed to check my spending diary/budget and it was spot on the with the balance at bank.
Didn't go for trainers last night so will have to go tonight as DS3 needs them for tomorrow. I've done an essentials only shopping list so will call into sburys too.
The shoes came yesterday that I got from fleabay, brand new [EMAIL="Cl@rks"]Cl@rks[/EMAIL], ideal for work and a bargain at 4.95 inc postage.
Need to pay childminder today, DS2s football subs £20 (but then we are paid up for the season.....well for that team anyway!!), I need petrol so thats another £30.
