    Hi :)
    @Happytails - you have had lots of luck with fb selling but have you been messed around too? One person left me outside Tesco waiting for a no show, then was supposed to come over last night (3rd chance) and didn't - then got stroppy when I asked if he was still on way as was an hour after expected time! Needless to say, never did sell that printer :(
    Giving myself a night off marking... half term next week - packing up house and doing marking. Most of my days off in June are already booked up with supply work! (so much for going part time ;) )
    Hope you are all good - very quiet on here, must be the sunny weather :D x
    :rotfl:
  • Hi y'all!
    Truly - that is a real pain :( Hope it doesn't end up too expensive!

    £207 in the end :mad:

    OH has enquired about another show in Glasgow on 1st June and it appears if he goes as a trader, it will only cost £26 for his position with a 6ft table provided. He'll also take his own table and fingers crossed it will be a success this time. At least this way he gets to stay at his stall.

    Saved a couple of % not having any wine this week, but after the van hiccup, the Bank Account needs it more than the Next A/c in readiness for the bills. I'm still colouring in my squares so that I can see that I can do this, even if I'm not transferring the money. The colouring in bit is keeping me motivated.

    Hi all, our debt free day is so close now! Just waiting until pay day and we'll be done :) Managed to pay off another 0.5% through eBay sales this week though (need to update signature!) And doing a carboot on Sunday -providing it's dry, as want rid of everything now!!!

    Just in case anyone doesn't know it's FREE LISTING WEEKEND this weekend, think it includes Monday too.

    How annoying about the car and fayre Truly. Fingers crossed for a better result next time!

    Aww truly that's really bad :( I hope you can recover the costs from future sales.

    Sorry for leaving you on your own crafting, I tend to post when I have made a payment and wonder if everyone else is the same?

    Just made another payment to the dratted car so another 4% paid = 44% paid to date.

    Phewee, I need to start paying the other debt off where 1% = £9. Must try harder :rotfl:

  • Hello all just popping in to say hi!

    I'm always around even when I've not got updates to post. Currently working hard on a lot of writing.

    Been to a family party tonight which was nice. Got some photographing to do tomorrow so fingers crossed for a sunny day.

    Hope you're all well! :)
  • Happy sunny Saturday everyone

    Hi everyone, just popping by to say I deleted a post because for some reason I had trouble with MSE last night and it duplicated my post and then wouldn't let me get into the Forums to check what was going on- blah.

    Hope everyone is having a lovely day :)

    That's better - I'm not feeling lonely anymore :D

    Well I've just got back from my craft fair at a local farmers market - it was lovely not having to get up too early and being finished and home 12.30 means I can spend some more time with the kids. I was not expecting great things I done brilliantly well taking £80 so this money is now sitting waiting to be paid into the bank after the long weekend :j

    Even better than that I was also given a pack of 4 burgers from a fellow stallholder so that's tea for free tonight :)
