    Thanks Becky, I don't enjoy the listing or packing but I do love the extra pennies and space it makes!

    Managed to only buy things we needed this week, well maybe we didn't need the K F C but it was nice :D

    Payslip showed an extra £20 from tax changes :T

    It's the weekend! _party_ Have a good one....

    It's FLW with 100 Nectar points on your first listing so a little bonus :)

    Went shopping this morning and spent a little more than I planned but need little treats to keep me focused :D

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
