Another quiet day. Been pottering about catching up on jobs.
Have got to package all my ebay parcels, have added another 12 listings. Hoping to add a few more later. Fingers crossed for lots of bids/sales. Keep thinking of more bits to add... think OH is worried he will come home and find nothing left!!!

Had a nice day took baby to see OH nan which was lovely. Been on a nice walk with Max- not a long one mind- he was keen to tell me exactly when he thought it was far enough :rotfl:
Ordered another load of baby food jars, wet wipes etc... B*ots had some good offers on- and went via cashback site... wish i'd started using cashback site years ago... how much money have I missed out on?
Several listings closed on ebay today- no sales though... never mind will go in the carboot sale box ready for next month. Still got 28 listings on... and a multitude of bits to add...
Spurred on by an article on here re delayed flights I've contacted T*omas c*ok for details of the flights for three holidays in 2008-9 as I know at least one was delayed by a couple of hours or more and Im going to try claiming... got nothing to lose... already claimed for all mis-sold pp years ago.
Got a few surveys to do in my inbox from valued opinions and crowdology so thats next on my MSE hitlist...Make £10 a day challenge November £125.60/310

I seem to be quite lucky on the scratch cards, but haven't been very lucky so far with normal comps ... maybe I just need to enter more of them than I have been :cool:
And definitely not not on the same level as you ... WOW - 46 ? :eek:
Well done with the ebay stuff - you're doing really well with the challenge this month :T

very overtired and lacking in motivation today... little one developed a very fast spreading rash last night and off to out of hours gp we went... thankfully just an infection but this mummy hardly slept and was keeping and eye.
Going to look at all direct debits today to see if I can get any of them down further... I know there aren't any we can cancel/or dont need but going to see if I can save a few pounds... even looking at switching providers if neccessary...
Also going to try and add another 5 listings to ebay...Also going to sort more stuff out for ebay and for a carboot sale- as hopefully going to do one next month.
OH overtime likely to have stopped now till much later in the year so bit more tightening required. :eek::eek::eek: (also more changes a foot which could mean further cuts!!)

Well only managed one ebay listing. My dog Max is poorly and staying at the vets tonight as dehydrated poor thing. Missing him lots- he will hate having a drip last time pulled it out even with a collar on...and no doubt he will have the collar off too little monkey... hopefully he will be feeling much better in the morning.
My princess has slept lots fighting her infection bless her, still has her rash.
This mummy is exhausted what with my two poorly babies.
Finally got to £10 on valued opinions- got an amazon voucher and used it to buy a present :jMake £10 a day challenge November £125.60/310

Poor Max home from vets bless him, two shaved legs from where he has had drips, very sleepy and lethargic and feeling sorry for himself but thankfully on the mend...
My princess much brighter today, and has been playing lots.
Going out for lunch with friends tomorrow, but otherwise a quiet weekend planned, as its free listing again on ebay I shall be having a tidy up to see what I can find to list.Make £10 a day challenge November £125.60/310

Sorry you've been feeling a bit low, it's tough to find your way when the motivation's just not there.
Glad Max is back home, hopefully he'll be back on all four paws real soon. It's such a worry with the furballs isn't it ... almost as bad as with a child. Still, I wouldn't be without mine for a moment.
Good news that the Princess is brighter & back to playing today, must be a relief.
Hang on in there, they may be small improvements but at least they're steady.
