    Hopless - Huge huge huge CONGRATULATIONS on the arrival of baby Oliver. Awwww.......new born baby cuddles - I am so jealous lol!!!! I know it sounds totally twee but new born babies blow me away - they are tiny little miracles if you think what they went through to get here. Anyhow, lovely news :D

    Sweetpeas- Your post made me grin. Joined SW last week and first weigh in is Wed. Have survived the weekend with no alcohol or chocolate :eek:
    Halo will sooooo slip next weekend as away overnight with one of my best friends (hotel room, 3 course meal and wine groupon job).

    Had 5 ebay sales coming in at £35 but need to deduct postage and fee's yet so guessing at around £18 - £20 profit but will update tomorrow. Adding £6.82 quidco tonight as that has been sent to my bank account.

    Does it take up much time? Will the extra money be a big help at christmas? Could give you something else to aim for maybes?
