    Blimey what productive days you are all having..I had a lie in until about 11 so started the day much behind yours and have never caught up:rotfl:..particularly as we went to a movie and a playpark this afternoon too!

    Allotment is in a bit of a state...lots of weeds and some slug eaten mange tout..but have planted out more salad under plastic and hoping for a push on it this week when I and OH have a day off. Put in second earlies etc and clear some more ground. Also planted some jerusalem artichokes yesterday - I love them and when they go they grow like weeds:T

    OH and I talking about trying to make rhubarb wine..we have loads of it and I am up for most things alcoholic!

    just looked at budget and done some finalising..have £93 for rest of week...:eek:we will need to be very careful not to overspend. I will keep you posted on our progress!

    Brizzle

    Sounds like you had a nice relaxing day anyway Brizzle.

    Rhubarb wine sounds revolting :rotfl: I'm not a wine drinker anyway though. My Dad always used to make random wines when I was a child.

    Good luck with sticking to the £93 :)

    What a pity about yesterdays car boot but at least today made up for it.

    DDFW - your day really does sound exhausting.

    I finally listed some things on ebay today so now I have to sit and wait and hopefully they will sell. Some already have watchers. I am so close to claiming another £5 Amazonia voucher off Swagbucks so off to play some games and perhaps watch Countryfile at the same time.

    I have enough of the rain now - OH has bottom of garden sectioned off as a veggie garden - I dont really venture down there much. Keeps him out of my hair ;)

    Hope your sales go well Lam, and that you manage to get the amazon voucher too.

    I'm fed up with the rain too, funny the week they declare we are in drought, it doesn't stop raining :rotfl:

    I had a few small sales yesterday :T Also a mini bidding war on something that was about to come off as it had been listed so many times :j It's weird how that happens isn't it.

    I've had to relist another item due to NPB :mad:, and DH had a few sales too, so lots going out of the house again today :T

    Morning Jwil

    Hope today will be a good one for you. Yes I had a super time in England ... always do. I do love the buzz of the city and all the people buzzing around. So different from the rural area I live in. Heading to beautiful Lancashire in July so looking forward to that too. Nice to have something to look forward to.:)

    You got a few good bargains at the boot sale. Not often you get what you are looking for so that must have been great.

    Take care:):)

    I haven't done particularly well really with my targets for this month :o

    I'll have to up my game a bit.

    Just redeemed a £5 amazon voucher and have arranged to send back a product test which will also net me £5 in a few days time. :j

    Hope everyone is well.

    There's still some time left. :)

    I haven't done terribly well with my targets either. Had a very lazy day yesterday but gave myself a good talking-to so got a lot more done today. Did manage to list some stuff of amazon yesterday and one has sold already, so it's not all bad.

    There's no way I'm going to reach most of my targets though. :o

    Nice work on the decluttering though, Jwil. :beer:
