    The clear up the house of junk has continued today. Musicmagpie will give me £19 for the load of cd's I have had sitting for years and a few old dvd's that I don't want to watch again. Also used quidco so hopefully that'll track and another £1 or so ;)

    Also found a cooler/warmer in the cupboard, unopened so I can safely say it has never been used, off to ebay it goes...
  • Great news with MM, i put in the codes for loads of our old c.d's & dvds and they came back with pennies- some they couldn't even find lol. So off they all went to the charity shop ;)

    I've got a few items finishing on ebay this weekend and only just realised 2 days after listing them that i wasn't going to be here ! Major oopsy! xx

    I get obsessive checking the selling screen, oh 10 watchers... bid! :o

    Shower problem update - Very temperamental, I think it may be on it's last legs :( It will just have to wait though.

    Ebay - Sales now up to £75. Just under 4 days to go and then the fun of packaging and posting everything :eek:

    Bank account - Balance isn't looking too bad. Next months wage won't be great as I had a weeks holiday from work so I didn't get to do as much overtime as I usually do. I did have a great birthday though and didn't spend too much.

    :mad: Spent the last 2 hours trying to write a CV. I have come to the conclusion that I will be in my current job forever. I can't put into words what I do nor can I help but repeat myself for most of my responsibilities within these jobs anyway. Given up. :o

    Don't give up claire0788.

    Start by listing the skills you use in your job; you can try to not repeat yourself by using examples of how and when you used various skills.

    My CV is a bit dated now, but I can send you a copy for a few idea on lay out if you want.
