    Had a NSD again today, and I've listed 7 new items on ebay - 2 of which are already selling! so YAY :)

    Hi peeps,

    Well, hanging my head in shame really. I am soooooo tired this evening, that all I want is a bath, bed and film, so I've just spent £3 on dvd rental :(

    Hmmmmm. I didn't go to Lidls in the end; just couldn't face it, so that will be tomorrow. I'm pretty sure i can be good in there though!

    Sorry to hear about the interview, Chele. What do you do and why do you need to get out of your current job.
    It looks likes you are doing really well with eBay, Nicola. I must get some more things on there myself. I really hate the bother of it all, but it is worth it in the end. Good luck with your new items.

    How has everybody else got on today?

    Off to watch my film then - determined to enjoy it seeing as I broke my NSD to get it LOL!

    Marie Antoinette. The critics don't tend to like it and I nearly always find that the films they slag off are the ones I love!

    I just fancied something light that I won't have to think too much about this evening!

    What are you up to this evening?

    Hi Nicola & Bigpaws

    I hope you like the film BigPaws!! I know what you mean about too tired to do much though, think I'll put film n in a bit while I'm eating dinner. Need something funny to cheer me up though!:rolleyes:

    Glad you've got more stuff on ebay Nicola, think I'm doing car boot with my friend at weekend as long as weather's OK.

    Bigpaws, I work in an office at the moment for a small building firm but not much to do and there's only five of us in the office and there's a couple of bullies so not very happy! Want to move into another admin/office manager job but confidence a bit low at the moment, so good that the man wanted to employ me but I can't possibly afford to take a drop in wages - can't manage on what I get as it is:D

    I hope you both have a good night with your films.

    Speak tomorrow

    It's always the way isn't it? Every time you think you've got a budget worked out, something happens!! I had loads happen last month that totally ruined everything I planned but thankfully, fingers crossed, things seem to be better at the moment. Just had fifth no spend day in row so quite pleased with that :D

    I agree, good intentions are all very well, but if something comes up that's unavoidable, you can't help but spend. Keep your chin up :)
