Is it really free listing this weekend? I've not had an email about that, and I can't find any mention of it on the ebay site? Brilliant if it is another free one, but can anyone else confirm this?
many thanks, NicNocs0 -

Morning all!
Sooooo tired, it's been a busy few days for me! Had to go out shopping on Thursday as we had nothing suitable for yesterday and they wanted us to bring 3 (!!!!!!!!) choices! And it was a really specific list of cans and cants, So 3 dresses and shirts and shoes later..... But I did keep the labels on and all the receipts. The dress I ended up in was the cheapest at £10 and it's something I would wear a lot, and the shoes were a fiver so not too bad. Add to that some tights and a new bra (was white but now grey wouldn't cut it under this dress) and it totaled £20. Mr M has become attached to his shirts so I don't think i'm going to be allowed to take them back. Thankfully, all of the stuff we'll keep was primark, so £40 spent all in all.
Yesterday was great fun. We didn't have to do much, got fed and watered, travel paid for and had a great time. Such an experience! And made, minus the clothing spend, £110. Not bad at all!!
We were very late in last night. I'm feeling terribly sleep deprived which is not good news and I've got the final long run before the marathon today. In half hours time I will be setting out on a 22 mile slog. I really don't want to do it, but needs must. Can't put it off. Just might fall down along the way! After that it'll be Pizza (budgets for) and bed. And recover tomorrow.
Happy Saturday!!0 -
Afternoon!
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Kat is working again - that girl has dedication!!!
Another sunny (but cold) day which just makes me feel so much brighter. Been to the gym and did my first solo session. Went ok - though looking what some of the guys lift in there is kind of off putting ha ha!!! Still - you've got to start somewhere. Had to get today over with as was my first session since 'the incident' lol. Lol re flashing your pants too Jonesy88 ha ha :rotfl:!!! I am doing a food diary which my trainer is going to check - so am being remarkably well behaved (not including the mini lindt bunny and egg that I accidentally scoffed last night!!!).
Like a couple of others, I had a spend on a couple of shirts - but - they are there as a motivational tool... I am not allowed to wear them until November when I am away on my 2 weeks party holiday - they are my reward for good behaviour (eating well and going to the gym).
Off to make some lunch then have a sort out day I think. Catch you all later!!!

Good Evening one and all..
I am up, make-up'd and about to get some food together. Although a quick dash to the local Tescos is in order due to the lovely surprises I got this late in the evening last week! A few pennies won't hurt...
Am tired and very warm in this house at the moment.. but another night shift and a quick change over and back in at 1500 tomorrow means I might not be able to update as I would like.
April's challenge will be up tonight hopefully as time is ticking away.. I hope you are all working on your budgets already..
I am panicking a bit about my party - the expense vs I'll never be 30 again.... do I do retro party bags or not... etc ... and the bits will have to be ordered before I go away on Wednesday as there won't be any time when I get back.
Planning the baking side of things tonight - will order a Tesco drop now for the day I arrive home ( 7 P's ) and get baking as soon as I get back!..Phew!
No rest for the wicked as they say!..
Packing to occur between nail appointment and Boots run on Monday and hopefully a bit of a house clean on Tuesday as the Landlady is arriving home while I am away. It's been bliss being on my own ( okay with her son but I hardly see him)..
Lemon Drizzle cake made last night.. will be eating this for a few nights I think. Over-lemoned.. just the way I like it!
Righto.. more later I think..

had a lovely day out today, a spend day. oops. not too bad, 30ish on new make-up - first for 2 years, and some lounge pants. might have volunteered to pay son's credit cards off at end April instead of hitting my own. I don't mind too much, trying to make up for not being able to help out while he was at uni. Go away, March, and let April in. xMFIT -T5 #420
