    Yes sales great so far ! Only trouble is ...... Everytime I move/put something away / fold clothes / sort a cupboard - I just think "hmmm, how much would I get for this ?" lol

    Glad to find you sounding so upbeat. :beer:

    If you've got stuff you are thinking about selling then this weekend would be a great time to sort them out as I've just had an email from fleabay telling me that there are no insertion fees this weekend on listings with a £1 starting price in eligible categories, not sure which they are as the email doesn't say.

    Got to be worth a look though. :D

    "Ex Husband , partially house trained (=quite lazy) imaginative (=prone to b******t) happy to be vocal (=opinionated)
    Always spontaneous (=unreliable ) with an interesting manner (=downright nasty sometimes )
    Starting bid £5.00 plus p&p - buyer can collect

    During January I went to the supermarket to do a bit of shopping and I saw a rather frail looking old lady doddering towards me with a carrier bag full of shopping in one hand and three rolls of Xmas wrapping paper under her arm.

    They all had yellow labels on them so she'd obviously got herself a bargain.

    My first thought when I saw them was "Well dear that's what I call a real leap of faith, you look like you won't make it to Easter let alone next Xmas!"

    As soon as I'd thought it i was mortified, not like me at all. It looks like I'll be joining you :o

    ;)
    Totally agree HL ....
    Loved my Friday at home. Dinner done & cleared up , housework 70% done , beds all cleaned , post sorted , Friday night wine in the fridge !
    Will def have to sort more stuff to sell this wknd - just caved & added £10 so youngest could get game he wanted (he saved most of it) ..... So another £10 needed !

    Dieters look away now .... I have finally managed (after nearly 18 months) to put back on the weight I lost due to stress etc :T
    I am so pleased as I am small anyway & looked awful being so thin - only problem ?! None of my flamin clothes fit me now :rotfl:
    Oh well , can't win them all !!

    Morning :)
    I have been registered for One Poll & Valued Opinions for nearly 6 weeks - nothing ! Not a single survey yet .... Is this usual ?!

    Weather beautiful here - makes you feel so much better.
    I love washing dried on the line outside.
    Lazy kids still in bed - can't say I blame them tho !
    Had letter from mortgage company to say we are £158 behind - if I don't pay it within 15 days they will commence repossession ..... For £158 ??!! I am not going to worry about it - somehow I don't think they will repossess for that !!! Good luck to them :)

    Bank looking dire - going to be a v frugal 2 weeks to payday !
