    Off to Turkey for an All inclusive Week of sunshine! Never been before but a friend recommended the hotel so hopefully it will be ok. Booked it hoping the money from my Mum would be through, but its still not. Luckily Hubs overtime and ebay meant it didn't go near the credit card!

    Ebay day for me - photos done, so now to start listing! Hoping to get min of 20 on a day for the next 3 days.

    Joined the biggest loser club today with a weeks free trial - they say you can lose a stone in six weeks so we will see! If I do half that I will be chuffed, sold most of my size 18's so don't want to buy a bigger summer wardrobe!!

    Glad you are doing well with the Swaggers challenge Fairy - I think I have lost my mojo a bit!

    Happy Easter everyone :) :easter_os

    I hope you are all having a brilliant day, eastering or pottering or ebaying even lol!

    I have been swaggering :rotfl::rotfl: The spring thingy watsit finishes tommorow and i will be rather glad as it has become a bit of a chore but at the same time i don't want to miss the double bonus as i have met the target everyday so far on both mine and OH accounts :eek::eek::eek: It will give me a great amazon voucher boost which is good as i spent all the last ones on the tablet and the amazon cupboard is bare :rotfl:

    Today then the plan is:

    swaggernoodling up to 150+ for both accounts
    superpoints
    try and find my camera
    bit of blog promo
    do some sorting out in the bedroom - would be good to see the floor again :rotfl:
    do some more sewing of purple elephant - i've been dying to start something new and am really really trying not to :rotfl:

    Think thats it - still trying to take it easy for a few days :D:D:D:D
