  • Thanks everyone for the kind wishes. We have had an interesting but entertaining couple of days. :-)

    In spite of the challenges, I have managed to add 8 more paperback books into the charity bag, post back a book I borrowed from Adoption UK, return two cycle helmets (girls) that were sent instead of 1 boys and 1 girls helmet (bought from Amazon so have to return both as if I reorder now the boys one is in stock, I will have to pay for postage!), post another ebay item, post two thank you drawings from the children.

    So, I think I have just managed the target by a whisker!

    Have a good weekend everyone!
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
  • Just sorted out all the drinks glasses, got rid of 9 and made some space in the cupboard where spare mugs can go. The kitchen's starting to look organised!

    Forgot to add that I got rid of a hair dye and a coat on Tuesday to a friend from work. So February total: 183/100 But I have seen a good buy on an iPad2 on my local facebook selling page so might be getting one. It's white which is not my preferred colour but it is £300 which is my preferred price :)
    Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.
    MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.

  • The Facebook selling pages do have some great deals on sometimes, I bought my laptop off my local one. It's in amazing condition and doesn't even look used and it was £65.
