  • Hi all

    LAM - thats a good suggestion from jwil - not having had a loan for over 10 years i can't help sorry :o Yes all my debt is on cards and several overdrafts :eek:

    Ooh nominated to write a song must fit in there somewhere

    *out from all the cupboards come the items of hidden tat
    getting ready to be listed from a picture frame to a hat
    These things aren't tat we tell you they're really hidden treasure
    Helping you raise funds for that rainy day weather!*

    Think i need to maybe scrap that and go for something a bit more rock n roll!

    Well I've managed to bundle 14 items into two lots which will be listed over the weekend.

    I've had two small sales on ebay. One of which I cannot access right now as my cat is sprawled all over the box it is stored in and is refusing to move :rotfl:

    Morning everyone! Lots planned for the day, but shopping first bah :(

    One of my ebayers appears not to have read the description. I'm still sending it, but not too hopeful about it :mad:

    Hope everyone is well!

    Morning, Jwil. Shopping is on the to-do- list here as well. Food shopping and other-stuff shopping. Lots of other jobs to get done today and I intend to stay away from the computer as much as I can.

    Woke up this morning feeling really rubbish again, just when I though it had gone away. The good news is that the 1 pound I lost has stayed off, so now I've lost my first half-stone and have reached the 25% mark towards my target. :T

    Hope everyone has a good day. :)

    Well done on the weight loss p&f, that is fantastic :T :T

    Ours was food shopping too. Though DH has now bought my bday pressie :happyhear which I'm rather excited about, even though he didn't want to get it as it's a not very romantic present :rotfl: I don't care though, it's something I want and so I am very happy.

    I'm sitting here, and all I can hear is the darned dog out in the extension popping my bubble wrap :mad: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hope you're feeling better soon peaceandfreedom :) You are doing great on the weight loss too :T

    I am intending to be on the computer all day today! - Still working towards my 100 newly listed items target in 1 week - was at 50/100 so there's quite a way to go - and quite alot of stuff to find to sell too :eek:

    Ooh jwil - i'm very intrigued as to what your pezzie is! Its good that you have both something that you want and will then therefore use - well done again Mr Jwil :T

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - so its not just us humans who oddly enjoy popping bubblewrap then :)

    I'd love a little pet - a cat i guess due to the times we are home - but i'd need a new door with a catflap first which is a looonnng time away - still there are plenty of cats that live around here though they don't curl come in often so can't curl up on your lap and make that lovely little purring noise that they make :smileyhea

    DDFW, my pressie is a microwave/combi oven. It's not the most exciting present in the world, but it's what I want. Over the years we have been donated things or just bought cheap stuff to tide us over. So now, I'd like to start replacing these things with decent items that I love. As our oven is as old as me, it will be a handy backup if it decides it's had enough before we get round to doing the kitchen.

    I'm not sure you'd like my cat :D She's particularly disdainful of us, will not ever sit on our laps (doesn't like being handled), vomits regularly and refuses to use the cat flap :rotfl: She's a very insular cat, but makes her own entertainment and is hilarious to watch.
