    Have PMed you Stepmum xx

    I had a couple of surveys this morning from various sites. I havent got any plans for this weekend apart from watching the football tomorrow so I might get on with some sewing as I expect the surveys will be a bit short over the weekend. Whats everyone else doing.

    Hope you enjoy your match more than I enjoyed mine. The only good thing was that we had a chuckle at the red side of Merseyside doing even worse.

    Not nice I know but they gloat so much when they win!! Just got in from the pub now so trying to catch up. I really need to get something on eb8y tomorrow and get back into DY and C

    Missed all the goodies in the B**ts 75% sale. Only thing I got was a mug with a Union Jack on for 87p so I can put some Everton mints in as a little extra for a friend who loves UJs and Everton.

    Hope everyones eb8y items are doing well. x

    Hi all - don't want to talk about football, my team aren't doing very well :-(
    Had quite a productive couple of hours - made oh go up in the attic to dig out my summer stash of clothes to sell, listed some on fb and have made £15 tonight. Also managed to spend a bit of time listing on eb and a couple of things are up to about £18 so will definitely hit the £50 target!
    Played netball today - we lost, but it was a hard game and am aching A LOT!

    Have got a day of revision ahead tomorrow, and then ironing - oh what fun!
    Although I have promised DS that I will take him to toyrus to spend his Christmas vouchers. Can't really get out of it, he has been badgering me all week!

I have done 5 opinions on T and am planning on doing some more tomorrow nearly at 60000 with 5 to credit so defo need the push, sb nearly at 300 again and nearly 3/4 of the way there on sp. I am trying really hard just hope i can continue for the rest of the year!!

    I am now waiting for £20 from dy, £10 from ips and £5 from sb - not counting them til I have them so that should be a good start to february

    Night all xx

    have you got pop to the shops? if not that is great as well as shopping list
  • Sorry to hear about the football, hopefully your teams pick up over the next few games.

    Can't get on facebook, would you believe I left my mobile in the living room earlier and hubby left dd to play on her own. Didn't notice until facebook said they had text me my login code and realised she has run off with it. I asked her where mummy's phone was and she said, oh no mummy's phone, I don't know! lol. Gotta love kids, I have searched everywhere, down the sofa, under the sofa, in the sofa, in her toybox and it's not anywhere so I can't get back on facebook until I can find it, sigh, and the bloody thing is on silent to make things worse. That's going to mess up my facebook sales as I can't contact any of them, and ned to post one and can't get in to get the address.

    Going to literally pack the whole house up tomorrow to find it. Going to do some more surveys and take some more pics for ebay.

    Kids - don't you just love em! :p
    I "lost" my phone a couple of weeks ago, the same it was on silent, I thought I had left it on my bed and my dd had run off with it - turned out I must have taken it downstairs and put it in the conservatory when I went to put washing out :rotfl:
    Supposed to be going to bed, am so tired, but am addicted to fb selling!

    Hello ladies,

    I don't know if you will remember me from last year, I disappeared around the end of August and nearly lost it completely after the breakdown of my relationship.

    Its a new year so I am trying for a new start for me, starting to put myself back together after last year was the worst of my life.

    I hope everyone is well and hope you don't mind me turning up again, I need to keep myself busy and start the moneysaving again.

    Hugs to all x

    Hi

    Sorry to hear about everything, hope your ok, nice to see you back, you take care xx

    Xmas Saver!
    I picked up a bargian Fri from Past Times, weve got a 60th bday next wend, I thought Id have to buy a bottle of Whisky, estimated at £20 to £25, don't think value would quite be as gd!! Don't know if drinks, its my old tutor from one of my Ou courses that I stay in touch with.

    Went via Boots - the sale section was empty, there was 2 small shelves by the till, got couple more stritcy perfume sets, and 2 lispy things, all helps the pennies. Saw upto 70% off in Past Times.

    Got Book about the 1950s, theres me trying to work out what yr he was born, and a pair of cufflinks in shape of car. Both for £9.40. Should hve been £23.

    Quite weird, he was the whose mums furneral we went to last yr, but we'd never met her!, after she passed he changed his car, and the ones he has now got, the letters on the reg plate have both his and hers initials on. He says I buy lovely thoughtful presents. So thought popped a note in with the cuff links, so say "thought of the reg plate", make them look more valueable than they were!.

    Can't sleep, I had a 24hr bug, went to bed Fri/sat am, 2am, it was 5pm Sat afternoon when I got up, no one could stir me, I'd had bad ngt with stomach ache, think its IBS again, stress with the court case, did my witness statement fri at solicitors, think stress kicked in.

    Off to help my cousion list his car on ebay 2mor afternoon, then get home got Miss Hoodies clarnet to put on, we pd £40 2nd hand, lady at music shop said its worth at least £60. Thought start at £40 anything above bonus, shes had a better one 2nd hand but was £100. So go back off that as they say. May put a few bits on, if they don't sell at least just hit relist nxt time. xx
