    Ha ha Cath I think it was a record breaker.

    Habi the covers are about to come out having been dyed with the patching fabric. I need to find some thread in vaguely the right colour.

    Had a good day yesterday. Kids blew bubbles in the garden. Took ponyplops out. Watched 56 up which was so moving.

    Well done on the listing. Mine has come to a halt along with my decluttering. Really need to get back to both .......
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Packed a picnic for dinner and took kids to playing field.

    They loved it, and are exhausted. Result!

    Procured red cotton thread. Finally organised pony gym. DH has just had £1200 for marking but we think has been overtaxed.

    A good money day.

    Sounds like a good day ... lots of fresh air and frugal fun!

    Great about the money but it's a pain getting the tax sorted, hopefully a refund will be swift!

    Exciting progress on the sofa front :T

    Thanks Habi.

    Flipping ebay. Buyer gave me a neg because I didnt refund them fast enough. Scammer. If you genuinely didnt get an article you would open a case surely?
