    Still haven't started on my list but I will get up and do it soon. I had to put all the bedding through the wash again thanks to DS & DD getting toothpaste on every bed this morning Grrr! So that's in the wash now then I can dry and iron it for the second time this week!

    Seriously DS was never as bad as DD. She's become an "artist" She will draw on everything with anything!! DS never did it I can't cope :rotfl: She's drawn on everything at her level since moving in. As quick as we cover she starts again. It's not pens/pencils all them are well hidden. Last night was her toothbrush which has left "wet" marks round the room in the new paint. This morning toothpaste on everything at her level including the beds/walls/floors :mad:

    Hello HiddenIdentity.
    I hope you dont mind me popping in to say hello :)

    Your meals sound yummy!

    I have recently started selling on Ebay, after many months of being too scared to do it (i know, slap me!), and i must admit its quite addictive! I knew there was a plus side to putting on weight and having the kids grow out of all their clothes...i can sell them all, LOL!!

    Have made £120 so far...which is almost enough to cover my older sons Christmas present! Still got loads to sell though, so got to get cracking with that.

    Anyway, just thought i'd say hi :)

    Well done ont he Ebay sales. I must admit I use to do quite well, but now I'm down to just selling the kids outgrown stuff, it feels a bit pointless. Most stuff sells at 99p so after fees/packaging/dragging both kids a 15 min walk in the rain then 15 mins back I can't seem to get into it :o

    9 days until payday :D

    Been playing around with figures. I don't know exactly what will be coming in because its piecework its anything between £50-£400 a month above minimum wage. So working on minimum wage and anything extra is a bonus.

    So Incoming £928.50+
    Outgoing
    Rent £500 (This is including paying some off the arrears. I will call up and find out the true figure I owe/Should pay monthly but I like to round it up anyway)
    Debt 1 £100
    Debt 2 £220
    Debt 3 £100

    £8.50+ left.

    Provident loans are collected Tuesdays (starting next week) So that's £22.50 every Tuesday needed from Tuesdays £33.70.

    That leaves my Tax credits to feed us/gas/elec/TV license/water all other bills. Still doable.
