5 years MFW - Lets get cracking...

HelenDaveKids

Todays ebay tally £17.77.

Last 2 months have made over £200! Plus £31 on postage.

Tried relisting some stuff but noticed charging me (99p items) then notice only allowed 100 free a month. Not sure how many I have overlisted! (wasnt paying attention) Will wait till this lot ends then wait till December!

Spent all my £19.70 nectar points today (towards DD2's paint) so now I have zero balance, however did max my nectar points this week by clicking on websites. Start again tomoz! Spent in focus, also bought a sale larvae lamp (DD3 christmas)cushion and picture (DD2 birthday) and buy one get one haf price dulux paint plus everything was 15% off today only, still spent nearly £50 though!!!) ....now need to paint, day off tomorrow so may start ..

added to my TCB by buying some roller skates and a music stand on ebay (not sure that is completely MFW!)

Have to do post stuff tomoz, few collects and no milk, how can we possibly drink 8 pints in 3 days?

Well done for your eBay sales they are brilliant!!! I didn't realise there were free selling limits, I'll have to check that out.

Well done for using your Nectar points, they'll soon be back when you get adpointing again

8 pints in 3 days isn't too bad for 2 adults and children - I was drinking that on my own at one point during this pregnancy

Is this:

a) a typo
b) a new youth trend? :rotfl:

how can we possibly drink 8 pints in 3 days?

Desserts? Rice pudding, porridge for brekkies and milky tea. We watched the Father Ted episode where their housekeeper fancies the milkman last night, so are feeling inspired...

Well Ive got a tank of flippin stick insects, hundreds of the damn things, so why not?? Yes, your right, cant spell, it is lava?? Its one of those tricky words like diarrhorea (have now a technique to spell it after unfortunately its a word I write quite a bit) or a saying word thats hard... like cert -if - i -cate, can not say that fast! At work, if i cant think how to spell something I just make my handwriting even worse so noone notices typo.

suppose the girls are drinking LOTS of hot chocolate, eating porridge and I do so like a brew.. Love father ted!

taking a break... done the ceiling, coving and 2 walls... had enough. Def not glossing today, when ive done this need to go to post office and milk! plus parents evening for dd3 tonight.

Ed - when you go to ebay from tcb does it matter whether you go from fashion to home & garden in terms of cashback? or do you need to nip back on? Thanks

All walls and ceiling painted.

Gloss will have to wait as ran out of time, off wednesday but want to go to furniture auction to see if can pick her up a sofa bed / futon type affair. Her room is very big (the biggest in the house by far) and shes going to have a area to "sit" in. Hope i can bag myself a bargain... last time I came back with a large corner settee, matching foot stool and 2 arm chairs for under £300 (one armchair was £2) all end of line / bankrupt stock / ex display. My bf also bought a 2 and three seater settee for about the same. We took her horse box and so no delivery fee.
Convinced my mum to come with me to keep me company.

As long as you use the same window that opened when you clicked through from the cashback site you should be fine.

As I never buy home and garden or fashion items, I never get eBay cashback

Don't envy you the gloss work to come, that stuff is vile!

HelenDaveKids

I know, my least favourite job.

Thanks for TCB advice. Keep looking for a cheap tv cabinet and coffee table as feel too miserly to buy new with kids being so careful.... My DH pointed out how many gizits we have had over the years, but we pass stuff on to (or did till I discovered how easy it is to sell)

HDK - just reporting in to let you know;

Day 1 of no mid-week tipple achieved (3 days no alcohol in total)

NP:D

HelenDaveKids

Well done NP, me too. Managed mon, tue, wed, thu last week but the week felt like it went on forever. Was supposed to start last night but i think sunday night is in no mans land and therefore could go either way....

Putting kettle on, do you want a brew?

Just watched HUTH on some random channel. DH out counting lamp posts so may take my cuppa to bed with my book, absolutely love spreading out across the bed.

nattypants

Tea would be lovely, thank you. I agree that Sunday can be included as the 'wild-card' tipple.

My no-mid-week will not go past Friday as I have an awards thingy to attend so will have to make good use of the free drink as a) it would go against everything:money: stands for and b) it would be very rude of me and c) I will need as much dutch courage as possible to talk into a microphone as handing out an award

I still haven't tried on my new dress yet (it's hanging up in my wardrobe) as I am hoping to drop a dress-size between now and Friday night;)
