Hi everyone sorry I haven't been posting much lately, life getting in the way but have been gettingon with the money making. Not as much as I would like.

My ebay items did not do very well sadly, despite being brand new and tagged childrens clothes that my daughter grew out of before getting a chance to wear. Must be the wrong time of year.

Hope you're all doing well

Just do what you can Savvy!

I've had a couple of items sell on ebay over the weekend, and have relisted another 18 to finish either Wednesday or Thursday this week so staggered the postage!

Had another little win on bingo - Ceasars has definitely been lucky for me!

Am starting to save now for a weekend away to London - its our 10th wedding anniversary in September and I would like to go away for the weekend, do the touristy thing and take in a show. I am saving my S&S vouchers and also the tesco vouchers and hope to get a pretty cheap (or free!) weekend if possible! Any ideas welcome

Work is still in the air at the moment, but I'm trying not to worry about it!

Hi foxy 219 - I have just booked London today for 4 days 3 nights for under £300.
We are travelling via east coast travel which was £105.50 and staying in Tune hotels Paddington (opens day before we arrive) it is a pretty basic accommodation where you pay extra for towels cleaning etc but for all the time we would be in the room it was the best option.

We were in London a couple of years ago so did the London eye and Lion King (would highly recommend)

Want to see Wicked this time, do a bus or river tour etc

London sounds amazing, its got to be at 15 yrs since I've been, it was grease, starlight express, phamtom of the opera, oliver. I use to love it, always go to Harrods for the experience, - and the jam that was lush, dread to think what the cost of spending a penny was £1 then, always to go to harvey Nichols, upto 5th floor, (loos - which were free) then into the food hall, like their biscuits always come in a posh tin, then Fortman and Mason - for my teabags.

The last time went to London was a blind date - it was a disaster.... luckly had some friends nearby so spent the time with them, they had to come and pick me in Convent Garden, - those child free days.

I'd love afternoon tea at the Ritz... xx

meant to post it earlier - just remembered

Just had to share this - Miss Hoodie ealier - in cheeky mode - says to dad ah you men, you can't do more than one thing at a time, your not like us women who can multitask.....
I was in the little room trying not to laugh, she was so serious when she said it to him, he was too gobsmacked to tell her off!
