Yes, how is your hoof? Hope it's feeling better, it's a right pig when you hurt your feet - there's nothing worse than feeling absolutely fine but not being able to move about much!

That's a great start to the rugs - I had a mass eBay session on Sunday and some things already have bids on, so I'm happy as well. Will try to get my act together to wrap them up so I'm not left with loads to do on the closing date - puts me off sorting it when there is loads to do!!!

House stuff sounds great as well, it's lovely to hear you so extra positive

I went to see some stallions on Saturday, my favourite was a new one there that they said they were planning on grading and marketing as a sports horse,so hopefully he will be cheaper than if he was being sold as a race stallion ( very mse ) when it's done and dusted ill pop a picture of him up - super handsome!!

Keep up the good work - you're doing brilliantly x

Good morning

Hoof is getting better, still bit sore but getting there.

Few rugs hopefully sold on fb page, people should hopefully be picking up at the weekend. Out on sunday evening to see a band, tickets already bought, but means cash can be used for dinner out and train so dont need to worry about using budget in bank so can be used for overpayments

House needs bit boxing in which carpenter is doing this monday and then plastering - needs skin over carpenter works and some tidying up round loft hatch. Then house bar one room needs complete re-decoration, painting and general tidying up and then will be ready to go. Plus general tidying and sorting. Have 2 weeks of at Xmas/New Year so hopefully will manage to finish the last lot by then

Ooh exciting Trudi re the stallions, do keep us informed

Good morning

More bids on ebay which is great so hopefully make a few pounds there.

Grocery shopping last night with mum, had quite a few vouchers so got spend down from £115 to £85. Budget was £75 so overspend but have loads in freezer and enough for next few weekends when OH is down so thats great.

That's a great saving and only slightly over budget with Christmas rapidly approaching

Hope you have a good weekend

So went to sainsburys at lunchtime to get supplies

Got loaf of bread for weekend, shake thing for chicken tonight, choc sponge pudding, cotton wool – all planned

Non planned – sandwich, was running out of time to eat in lunch hour as only had soup so ok

Very non planned – mini Victoria sponge cake thing to eat later

[FONT=&quot]Definitely not planned and major oops – foundation, eyeliner, pair of jeans and jumper!! :rotfl:

So not a good start to November. Redeemed myself slightly by having 20 NSD in October

Lol, that sounds like my sort of shopping trip when I "pop in for some milk"....

Have a fab weekend - I've got a hot date with martin clunes on Sunday, he's coming to officially open the new barn at the racehorse rehoming centre and it's also the official launch of the nearly naked calendar we have done as a fundraiser....

Good afternoon

So a great weekend but reasonably spendy. Saturday had farrier in the morning, good as gold she was hmmm still takes the mick out of me with those back hooves, will get there. Then her trainer in the afternoon, long reined her on the roads, she is getting better and no need for anyone to stand by her head now she is getting very brave Both these events budgeted for. Then with OH help fixed the electric fencing, re-did entire lot but hopefully thats it now. Then in the evening went to sisters for dinner, half provided by me which was out of stores and had fireworks and sparklers Sold one rug from fb page and collected so £10 made.

Sunday finished of electric fencing and then went out to London, had a mooch around Camden market and spent my £10 from my rug on a wooly hat, is lovely tho, least not extra spends Then dinner which OH paid for and then went to see 3 bands, great evening. I paid for train tickets and parking but all out of budgeted expenses.

Today had morning of and have had carpenter round so all boxing in done in hallway, looks fab, just need to get a plasterer in now and will be ready for decorating.

Sold lots of bits on ebay, for the hossie people in the know had a Thermatex rug which was used and had small tear in but ok apart from that, listed it for £2.50 and it sold for £49 Sold few other bits too including most of OH's so have made a profit between us. Shame about the final value postage fees, what a rip off :mad: but ebay makes me money so will continue to use.

Good morning

Wet and miserable day today, days like these dont mind working in an office. Few more ebay parcels ready to post today and arranging courier's for a few more. NSD apart from ebay postage which has already been paid for.

Made cottage pier last night and have leftovers for lunch today, babysitting at sisters tonight so will have free dinner there

Good morning

More ebay parcels to post today, everyone has paid, already received feedback from some so thats great Just need to work out final profit then can withdraw and send to my credit card.

My credit card doesnt look pretty at the moment, currently stands at £3342 so lots more ebaying to get this all cleared. Had to put an extra £50 on that on Monday to add OH to my car insurance but it will help when we are out and about.

Sofa payment out today and its now under £700 so that is great

Baldybear

Good morning its Friday

Last 2 ebay parcels to post today, good feedback received on some more, should make about £85 profit for me and £95 for OH, just need to do final check.

Minimum payment out today plus small payment of one rug sold on fb so credit card down to £3254.

OH up for weekend but have all food in so no need to get anything extra. Small spends today, need to get some bread for lunch, cash for yard owner but budgeted for. Also need cash for tomorrow but again budgeted for, of to watch the rugby in Cardiff
