    thanks CW
    got a few little things on that i was sure about postage on
    need to be careful with postage on larger bits

    was surprise to find 2 things have bids already this morning and some being watched, so fingers crossed

    luckily hes not moving that far , just to other end of village but he does need a HUGE clear out. they've started which is good.

    being a builder he has all the stuff related to that too to move/store:eek::eek:


    Thanks MT, hope you manage to get some stuff listed on ebay. Don't envy your dad moving, terrible job moving, packing, boxes everywhere, so de-cluttering will really help.

    Good luck with your ebay sales.

    I am OK thanks, the weather is sunny here so my son is cutting the hedge for me, it was a bit overgrown.:j

    Hope everyone is well.

    So glad you have saved sooo much...have you put the money by for something else, or already spent it on other things?

    jax

    Thanks Jax (and everyone else) I can't admit that I've put the money towards anything tangible as such like one specific thing - in a way I wish I had as that would be a nice holiday, but I have managed to build up a nice stockpile and bought items I wouldn't have otherwise been able to without the additional savings. Fridge, freezer, cupboards and spare room nice and full so i guess that's testament to the savings I've been able to make - lets say I wont be in need of pasta sauce for a long time :rotfl: unfortunatley OH not quite so controlled with finances as I try to be so it's a bit lot like swimming against the tide a [STRIKE]bit[/STRIKE] lot of the time - which can be somewhat demoralising.

    oh, that soggy womble by the car yesterday gave me all of 2p - oh well, if it had been 2p on the floor I'd have still picked that up :cool:

    MT - glad you found a top you like and treated yourself.
    BP - shed coming along nicely, albeit a bit slowly. Just needs the glass putting in now, but that will have to wait a couple of weeks :( as busy next couple of weekends.
    Did leave OH on his own though today, I went raspberry picking, then took mum out for an hour or so, then came home to catch up on housework and made some raspberry jam. :j:j
