    its always good to hear of someone with an ebay addiction worse than mine :D

    had a good week on ebay for once sold quite a lot so managed to use that money to pay off my catalogue bill so now i just have an overdraft and small student loan to clear woohoo :j

    working at the chairty shop this afternoon so will see if i can find anything else to sell there. raided the charity shops in town last week theres so many feng shui books! they never sell on ebay either which is annoying.

    anyhoo need to go make luch before i head off. hope everyones well x

    Hey folks,
    Nanny is back for real now:j
    Got new tomy 'tuter so have to raise £200 to pay for the bits DS bought for me.

    I've been like a person with an arm cut off or some similar disability for about 2 months now.

    My brief and infrequent posts over the last 2 months took quite some doing with old 'puter dying on me.

    never mind I have been faithful to the cause and even converted a colleague to save the stickers on Mcd's coffee for me so that when it is my bi-monthly turn for the coffees I get them for free:j

    It will take me a while to catch up, but it is so good to be back!!

    Poor old Pops has had to talk to me in the evenings and I think he is now very relieved too!!
    Only 12 days to holiday & a wedding before that & I've not been able to get on line to ebay!!!

    Never mind - £20 John lewis vouchers from pigsback for pressie - hotel via quidco £45 & £10 cashback, holiday paid for by DH (aka pops) how MSE is that?

    Just need a new fat lass frock & sorted for wedding and those of you who know me will realise that I will have to buy new knickers as well!!

    Take care folks & don't spend!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh dear I so 'want' too!!!
    I want chocolate as well & I want magazines, posh cosmetics, new furniture, new towels new crockery... etc etc...
    I know I don't 'NEED' these things, but I so WANT:eek: them. Guess that's why I'm still paying off cc debts:mad:

    It's now August and since the lent challenge I've tried so hard not to spend unnecessarily but I am now feeling that 'I work hard I deserve to treat myself thing!!!'
    Still struggling with the need/want about the wedding outfit for next week and I know I will buy at the last minute and probably pay over the odds 'cos I find something semi-reasonable that fits!
    So I guess I need to be a bit more realistic about allowable spends & budgets 'cos if I was this wouldn't be an emergency and I could have taken my time to buy a 'value for money' outfit.
    OK moan over - it's so great to be back:j
