I wrote big long replies, then forgot what I was doing and somehow ended up deleting it gahhh...

I'm being MSE, lovely people on my diary suggested wheat packs for my sore neck..... sooo I've used some scrap material and made a rice pack (you can use rice instead of wheat if you want but have to be aware that it dries out quicker). I should have used white rice, but I only eat brown so that's all I had. Anyway, 2 minutes after they suggested it I've made one, stuck it in the microwave for 1 minute, and slung it on my neck. I can feel my neck feeling happier already and it didn't cost me the oh...um...*goggles* £4-£10 it would have cost if I'd not made it myself. picture

Jemma, I think you should sell your bras, then buy new bras for the "special occasion" when lovely new man whisks you off your feet. Afterall *dons mother hat* you shouldn't be rushing into anything hahahahahahahaha

So I had to take the washing out the machine wet last night as the washer was not making good noises, typically this weekend they're turning the electric off at work or I could have taken it in their to respin and tumble. It's raining here so bang goes my dry outside idea, looks like I need to stick the airer in the bath or our shower to hang them.

Looks like I'll need to take a little bit of skirting board off the get at the washer filter and see if there's anything stuck.

Must go to asda and buy new bulbs for the kitchen as well, they're little tiny spot light ones. I'll do that after I've been to the sorting office and I'll get some petrol at asda too. This is going to be a long month, really hope I don't have to call someone out for the washing machine.

edit: emptied the filter only a couple of metal shirt holds in and they're definitely not from us. Previous owner really didn't look after this machine. Put wet clothes back in but I think it sounds like the motor may be gone. Sigh, its a cheap Beko model so I don't know if we should just get rid or what. looks like I'm hanging clothes in the shower.

Oh no Fallen that doesn't sound very good hope you get it sorted and it doesn't cost too much.

I'm just on my way out the door, but have thrown my normal daily £1 at the credit card as well as an additional £25 that I decided I could afford to pay on top So...

#005 £2658/£5030

Ooh looks like my late night fleabaying last week is going to pay off, I'm up to £40 so far with bids ending around midday. Although why they wait until a few hours before the listing ends to ask my questions I've no idea!!!

Fallen, ours was playing up in Jan, wouldn't drain, awful noises just like yours. Husband (no DIY expert) took the back off and I think it was the pump that had broken (you could tell by looking at it that it was broken). I think the new one was about £20 from a spares shop we found in yellow pages.

We currently need a new boiler and a new fridge freezer so really need this debt to go so we can start saving. Would like a log burner too. Oh, and decorate the house . . . :rotfl::rotfl: Still got some bids on eBay (NOT BRAS!!!).

Well it's better than nothing Someones just made me measure 4 items where I have already stated the dress size, eugh. You wouldn't email A5OS or any other online retailer asking the same thing. So I've had to get the tape measure out and sit here trying to work out the exact sizes of waist, bust, length etc.

I have had an account for roughly 8 years :rotfl:. Hence why there is nothing left in the house to sell . . we are off to DH's uncles to give him his money from me selling something for him last week, I may have to beg him for more stuff to sell as im feeling quite lost

4-5hrs!!! Wowzer!!! :eek: I notice in your signature that you won Gerberas??? They are my favourite flower So happy looking and bright. Shame I kill them off in about 24hrs... :rotfl:

Those Gerberas are being donated to grandad for fathers day! I do not a gardener make, but he has a beautiful garden (with a huuuuuuuge vegetable patch :eek:) so im sure they will fair better with him than me .
Sometimes being unable to work has its advantages, I have nothing to do for most of the day so comping, Ebaying, swagbucks etc keep me sane . . plus I like the free money and surprise wins :rotfl:

I have had bidders email in the last 10 minutes of the auction ending asking for close up photos of the pattern on clothes or for the exact measurements on a skirt . You can always tell a buyer that doesnt sell themselves
