    Just realised I haven't updated this over the weekend. Been very busy with both work and family. Today has been a rather strange one - took son to see a cousin I had not seen myself in over ten years. It was difficult but son enjoyed seeing the horses and dogs so we will likely have to return despite me making a fool of myself.
    Thanks Alex, I have felt like that in the past too, so I can empathise with you. I am a work in progress, but beginning to see a path through the woods, that I want to follow. All the best on your journey x.

    Thank you, Rainbow.

    Just popping in...hope the Bay of E has done well and you had a good weekend with Mrs K and the boy

    We had a good weekend, thank you. :) However, the Bay of E has been somewhat neglected this past week, so lots of things sold and picked up but no new items.

    So what did you do? Don't keep us in suspense?


    Hope it's been a frugal weekend.

    maman: Weekend has been fairly frugal, though a bit too much eating out.

    As for today, taking a few things a bit too personally. Nothing exciting, no falling off horses if that's what you were hoping for. ;)

    We all do that now and again, promise it's not just you. All you can do is tell yourself it's irrational and hope for the best really!

    And I'm glad I make you laugh. Laughter is good for the soul :)

    Thank you HBS. :) Things are actually better now than ever between my cousin and I, son is going next week for a couple of hours to see their horses again.

    We had a very busy day yesterday picking up a car and some furniture. Today is looking somewhat more quiet but for Mrs. K. having her second interview and a big decision to make in regard to her work.

    Car?????? Says the echo.

    So how much ebay money have you now built ? Is the business repaid and going to the debts?

    Well, I've heard enough about the two jobs to last a lifetime today.:rotfl:

    On the plus side, the second interview went well and it looks as if she will be moving from her current company no matter the outcome.

    Yes. Bought with Mrs. K.'s money - I don't have enough personal money to buy a decent model. :o

    See above. ;)

    The business is paid but I have no more money towards the debts currently. However, they have gone down by just over £3,000 recently.
