    Hi HDK - £50.56 + a few items closing tomorrow.

    Just managed to get Emeli Sande tickets for Mrs E's Christmas - my heart is pumping after about 20 aborted attempts to navigate my way through the Ticketmaster website!

    I ended up with a spare by mistake, so will have to become one of those people you hate on eBay selling tickets with 'genuine reason for sale' :p I tried putting them through singly as website fell over whenever I requested a pair....

    £1.53 into OP Pot and EF, will transfer eBay monies once all sold/paid for.

    I'm on fire this evening - not wasting my weekend doing housework!
    • Went to Aldi for vegetables
    • Sainsbury's delivery coming 8-9
    • Hoovered
    • Took down rubbish, recycling and glass recycling
    • Packaged up 7 eBay parcels to send off in the morning
    • Updated spreadsheets
    • Half way through a beer, giving some thought to polishing shoes for next week :o
  • Dont blame you Ed. I usually have to wait till 9,30 for a glass of wine on fridays but no youth club pick up tonight so may well start early! Work tomoz though so will be only a glass ... or 2.

    Well done on your sales. I have various finishing, sat, sun, mon, tues and wed as been off with kids nearly all this week. Still more stuff in garage and loft to go (from previous owner)

    Well done on getting the tickets. If you are a facebooker can you advertise it for sale on there? We had to get rid of 2 tickets to a show recently because I'm too pregnant to be in stuffy places, was going to put them on eBay but just put on my Facebook that I wanted face value for the tickets if anyone wanted them and 3 sets of friends had messaged me within five minutes for them. No eBay fees, it was great and no hassle at all. Just a suggestion in case you don't want to be eBaying them :)

    We had a lovely walk (about 4-5 miles, including a park, a cafe and the street where Mrs E grew up). I sometimes forget how lucky we are and that having a secure home in a nice part of the world near parks and family is a heck of a lot more than many people get. Counting my blessings today :)

    Also managed to pick up some cracking whoopsies in Sainsbury's, including pork belly and game :money:

    Currently making a big lasagne for the freezer and daydreaming - hope everyone is having a lovely day.
