    Awww (((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))) Kerri, but what a lovely thought for your mum, i'm sure she'll love it!

    Spent the day wrapping my crimbo pressies & cleaning the windows & swapping the summer curtains for the winter ones (when did i get so grown up & sensible????) & am now surrounded by a sea of packaging wrapping up fleabay stuff to post, made nearly 75 squids, so i'm seriously chuffed!! :D

    ETA - the last item pushed it over £80 :j :j :j :j :j :j

    Thanks BDINI, Beanie and Marmite (and anyone else who offers a virtual hug).

    well done on the sales BDINI. I'm a bit worried the item that sold for £20 will be asked for a refund when it arrives - still I guess it's worth whatever someone will pay for it.

    Doing a bit of online browsing for xmas bits - think I've mentally shot forward to end of Nov, and not end of Oct like it really is :o

    JAN NSD 11/16


  • Hi guys :hello:
    Well my lovely and crazy birthday weekend is now at an end so I'm back on the forum. I am happy to declare that I managed to get a NSD no.8 on my birthday (well I wasn't going to pay for things then was I?:rotfl:)
    I did get my hair done but I had budgeted for that and I didn't spend ANY extra money, I went home for lunch instead of being tempted by the co-op or the chippie that are next to the hairdressers so I was pleased with that. I am hoping for one tomorrow or Tuesday but I may not make target and get both, I knew it would be hard this month though with lots going on. I will try to be more canny next month with when I spend and I will set a higher target :j
    The front page is looking AMAZING, well done everyone!!
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    Welcome back Spoon, fingers crossed next week is not quite so hellish!!

    Thanks BDINI :A
    Number 16 for me today :j

    Woohoooooo, well done you!!:j:j:j:j

    ETA - the last item pushed it over £80 :j :j :j :j :j :j This month's credit card payment is going to look very healthy!! (& the half of the stuff that didn't sell has been relisted, so fingers crossed for some more pennies!!)

    And another woohooooooo..... that's brilliant!!:j:j:j:j

    I am definitely going to have to start fleabaying some of the clutter in this house. I might do some prep work before the next free listing, I really need a kick up the bum to get moving on this....


    I've worked out my NSDs now, finally :o My total is 23 NSDs which I'm delighted with - no time to spend due to work - every cloud and all that..... I was going to set myself a new target this month but it hardly seems worth it now so I'll just carry on regardless:D

    I'm off now to have a nosey through all the posts to see what I've missed


    Happy birthday suzitiger, glad you had a fabby weekend, it sounds brilliant:j:j:j:j

    This thread would be nothing without all the updaters who take time out of their daily life to come on here and keep us all up to date and motivated.

    BDINI, spoony, marmite & LMH you are all:A:A:A:A

    They deserve a round of applause and thanks from us all :T:T:T

    If anyone, anyone at all, would like to give the updating a go and give these lovely guys a day off please let me know, we'd be very grateful. :)

  • Hi all,

    Don't think I'm going to catch my target this month. Every day I start with the best of intentions but end up spending. Still, I will be proud for what I have managed to do. Any more nsds this month are unlikely as it's half term but hey ho - I expect that.

    Can I just also say thankyou to the lovely people who keep this thread running. It is very much appreciated.
