    Morning Sista,

    OOooh a camper van - whilst not really for me, I get the attraction..I know a few people who would do just that. infact our local landlord has just brought a mobile van/camper thing ..not a camper van ( VW) as such of the bigger ones - and he has sold up - lease changes Christmas day and he is off to enjoy his retirement travelling with his wife..they hit France in Jan, Spain in Feb etc..and they have a full plan and reckon they may be back travelling the UK in a few years , but if they are not they are not...its all a bit too unorganised for me, but the idea I definately get...

    Well done Sista on your numbers - you really are hitting these hard..it wont be long and you will be playing with single digits...

    Anyway have a good day xx

    Just read through your ebay thread, the seller sounds like a nightmare:mad: think you have done the right thing sending it back insured just in case, fingers crossed he just gives you a full refund.

    Always nice to have a new one on board:cool: x



    Well my day didn't get any better....
    Woke up this morning not only to find the dog had been sick on the carpet....in 3 places :mad: (cream carpet) but youngest DS is ill and off school. Great.
    So shopping bill was more today not only did i have to buy carpet shampoo and cloths but had to buy bubble wrap (brown paper out of stock....would be just when i bleedin need it!) and parcel tape to send back evil ebay item :mad:

    I am not going to say it can't get any worse because it could and probably will if i say it....


    Hope everyone else is having a better day :D

  • MummyRivett, i saw on another one of your posts about music magpie, we used them to sell some cd's and games and got £83 :T Well worth doing, you need to find a box to put it all in though but they collected on time and you can track the progress too.

    Hey Sista :)

    Fantastic debt busting progress as ever - go girl :D

    Not so great on dog sick and poorly child though.

    I too love the camper van idea. Though for me, I would park it in the bottom of my garden and live there - maybe visit my boys as the weekend :rotfl: in fact , I am loving the idea .... Hmmm I think I will start a new saving pot for this today :D

    Have a good one xx
