  • Morning :)

    Mandz- definitely tea all week now :( although i have diet coke squirreled away too ;) so a bit of a caffeine fix at least lol as the herbal teas are caffeine free & i hate coffee haha

    Right well i missed an item i was watching on ebay! It finished at sill o'clock this morning when i was still asleep, pah!

    Sold 2 items that were ear marked for charity shop :T so a few quid to me instead. Already paid for and transferred to my bank account. Should be a nsd today, haven't really got a penny to my name that hasn't already been ear marked for something else!

    Day in i think having a quick tidy up. My father has said he is popping over on Sunday, now whilst he says this quite a lot and has never actually come over yet, i will still have to scrub my house clean before he supposedly is about to arrive. I'm obsessive about visitors in my home and the place has to sparkle! Hence i don't invite many people over very often:rotfl::rotfl:

    I also need to catch up on washing, one load in already :T and get ds1 to pack for a week as he's going to friend's house tomorrow then to mum's house till i meet them next wednesday :)

    So jobs for today:
    • tidy toys away
    • clean all clothes
    • wash all bedding (i hear we've only a few dry days left till the rain comes again)
    • hoover everywhere
    • scrub bathroom clean
    • trip to garage, a bookcase for mum needs to come out. I've got to take a pic of something i've been meaning to sell & some bits for the house need to come out
    • washing up
    • parcel up ebay items
    • sort out the stuff that i said my sister could have from my ebay pile
    • oh yes, and get dressed ;)

    right off i go............

    Oh and forgot to say i've been accepted onto another survey panel, was sent an invite for it and passed the initial screening :T so am awaiting confirmation now and a password :T

    Have also been sent out a tester to use and fill in a form and send back, will be paid £3 for this ;) and the tester was edible so we had great fun testing that earlier :p

    Nothing else to report for now ;) so will go stalk ebay for a bit :rotfl:

    What panel is that? If its Consumer Pulse they were great. I got a £10 House of Fraser voucher every month for years. Used them for Christmas and any left over sold on eBay for almost the full amount :D.
