    We popped into the Library today to get a couple of bit of printing done, and thought while I was there I would join up, as books are a major weakness of mine :-) I've already taken three books out.

    Emptied a few more boxes and found lots of things for Ebay and car boot, also signed up for the NSD challenge really looking forward to giving it a go, going for 17 days in total and 4 in a row, going to be interesting.

    I too :heart: reading. I joined the library but then forgot about sending one of them back (it was in the back of the drawer) and ended up with a fine :mad:

    smiley-sad006.gifsmiley-sad006.gifsmiley-sad006.gif This Badger is not a book :( it doesn't smell like a book, feel like a book, you can't fold the page over like a book and you can't rest it on the arm of the sofa while you make a coffee1-smiley.gif and come back to find it's fallen on the floor and you have to search for your place again........all the fun's taken out with this kindle business :naughty:

    @ Sista ah ha another real book fan :D I can see the advantage of a kindle but somehow, a book I don't know it's just so special.

    Well interesting day, had a slight meltdown, while emptying boxes I suddenly realised where all my money had been going, got very cross with myself, for wasting such much money,:mad: luckily My OH was on hand to remind me that focusing in the past will not help me at all, that there isn't a person on earth who doesn't have a what if about something in their life. I don't know what I would do without him :love:

    So got back on track and listed some items on ebay and also had my 1st hopefully of many NSD.

    Have to say I am so glad to be on here, the support really does help so dodgy :grouphug: for all.

    Good day today, sold a book an Amazon, and already have a bid on one of my Ebay items, :-D and the money from ebay last week is another £17 of my overdraft :j so that's £100 down so pleased.


    Hope everyone else has been having a good day

    Well done on knocking more off your OD Fae :D
    I know the feeling about emptying the boxes and realising where the money has been going :(


    I love real books too, I actually didn't want a Kindle originally for all the reasons you've said but I have to admit I do like it now I've got one. It's definitely not the same as a real one though.

    Have a great day Fae!!

    Oops forgot to post on here yesterday, in my defence I was very busy listing things on ebay so fingers crossed. :D

    Feeling very postive at the moment, as very much feel I am in control of my debt rather than it being in control of me. :j


    Heading for NSD 2 today, hope everyone has a fab day

    Thanks headabovewater :D

    Ebay listings have a few watchers now so fingers crossed.

    Benn reading lots on here about approved foods, so went and took a look, it's great lots of the things that we eat at much lower prices so have placed an order, esp pleased that they have cheap Table Jelly, OH can eat a whole one in one go :eek: so bought a multi pack of 12 to keep him going, just have to make sure he doesn't just go and make himself one very giant jelly :rotfl:
