    Thanks US :T. I'd take you up on the offer but by the time I'm a size 12 the moths would have had it :rotfl:.

    It might inspire you in ways unknown to reach your target dress size :D (Says US who has only gone up in dress sizes for the past 20 years :o)

    It's not that nice a dress :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    As the title says, 1-day free listing for auctions on fleabay. I have not been during this selling-of-my-treasures for a few months now and this occasion helps in decluttering.

    Details here.

    NSD yesterday. I have listed the fruits of my decluttering on fleabay. Hope they sell. I have also traded-in a few of DS2's IGCSE textbooks through Amaz0n and received about three-quarters of my original spend on that score. Well chuffed about that. Lots of study guides to dispose off too - I am thinking of giving them to a CS as I believe someone might find them more useful than the 25-50p each I might get for them.

    I am eagerly awaiting DS2 who will be returning today after vacationing with his grandparents abroad - he will be collecting his AS results tomorrow. Well done to all the students who have excelled in their exams and gained university admissions :j and their parents too for their continued support :T

    Have a good day :)

    A quiet week so far with 4 NSDs so far :j

    I am not sure about other £land stores, but the one in my town has 2 litres of whole/skimmed milk for 50p. May be it is a local promotion, but it is worthwhile checking if you have a store nearby. HTH.

    Back to posting at MSE after a long time :)

    I have started a new job a few weeks back, hence my not frequenting MSE. Have done a few TTs, but not yet updated my outstanding mortgage for sometime now.

    Hope my fellow MFWs have been doing regular OPs and TTs. :)
