Hope you enjoyed your meal with your friend hun!
Sounds like you've had a better day. Keep up the positive thinking ... look at the effect it's already having with Mr IT.

Thanks Love
At the moment, I'm trying not to look at the HUGE picture but just at little bits of it. Like getting to the end of this month, then I will look at next month etc. I'm hoping little chunks will be easier
On another good note, I've got a another bid on one of my ebay items, and still loads of watchers, though that could be interesting over the next few days. And strangely enough it's the more specialised Doll House stuff which is selling... which I find odd as you would think there would be a much smaller market. But what do I know.
Which reminds me, I need to raid the factory tomorrow for old bubble wrap... and get some padded envelopes at the weekend.
Dinner was lovely, now full of stew, profiteroles and chocolates :eek: so not going to do my weight loss any good
But I am now sat in bed with my hot water bottle

Evening all
Told people at work today that I wasn't going to be in the lottery syndicate anymore and practically everyone else dropped out too :rotfl: So that will be saving myself £4 a month and will also mean that I get about £1.66 back in winnings so that will go straight in the change pot.
Although as I'm hardly spending anything, I'm soon going to have very little change to put in it
One of those days at work today, where I was glad I had 2 left over profiteroles in the fridge waiting for me, so probably not going to be a good diet day again
Nothing to really report other than that, no more bids on Ebay yet? But I did get some lovely free bubble wrap from the factory this morning. It's used but you wouldn't know it. Just need to get some padded envelopes now and I'll be all set for postage
It's all very exciting, I can't wait until Sunday to see what happens.
Hope everyone has had a good day

Evening
Ok time for a proper update
I've finally remembered the password for my ebay account, so I can now use the app
so I can pop on whenever I want now to see how things are going.
Still no movement, but that's ok.
Might have had a small spend today 99p on some of Mum's favourite rolls. I know I shouldn't have but she did cook for me on Monday
I'm going to try and dig out some more things to put on Ebay at the weekend, loving the idea of having a nice clear out while I make some money from it.
I do have some electrical bits which could go on, but not sure if they will sell. I guess I can give them a go can't I. And since the Dolls house stuff is doing so will I'll see what else I don't want to keep and get rid of that as well.
Work was better today, and as we are now half way through the week I'm hoping that things will speed towards the weekend
Oh and I am trying to pluck the courage up to ask Mr IT if he wants to go for that drink... I just need to find the right moment (and the courage of course :rotfl:) I'll let you know if I manage it.
