    Was out for dinner last night and going out for lunch today - not great for the budget but it's nice catching up with folk:D

    Still decluttering but not much else going on, adpoints and surveys but hoping for a freelisting weekend soon...

    Edited to add - just found this http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/0IF_130713/index.html free listing next weekend so will get myself organised with descriptions and photos etc

    Had a fab weekend in the sun - now building up to the mountain of ironing:eek:

    Climbed a hill, ate lots of icecream, drank lots of wine, lots of walking at beaches and went out for a lovely dinner last night:D Enjoying some childfree time but glad DS is coming back soon cos I miss the wee pest:D

    I've allowed extra money for the holidays and not spent much last week but keeping money back as I need to buy complete new uniform for DS (just shirts and trousers) for going back in August.

    Trying to get organised for ebay weekend, I SHALL make some money.

    ebay used to be much easier but Royal mail brought in a much more complicated, and expensive, pricing structure so it takes forever to work out what to charge for postage.

    Still basking in the sunshine here:D

    Spends low, car use low, even managed to go to IKEA and not buy anything (LM drove).

    Did a wee bit of volunteer work this morning and have had an easy day, cinema later - well it is Wednesday;)

    Off to the big city today - will probably see lots of folk and panic then get next train home:o not good with crowds but want to go to big fabric shops.

    Went to see Now You See It last night, really enjoyed it and didn't see the ending coming so good result. Have enjoyed spending the last couple of weeks going out and doing stuff with LM as DS has been away but back to normality tomorrow:D My waistline shall be mightily relieved...
