    My wing mirror arrived today and I will have a go at fitting it tomorrow - a good cheap find from ebay so I hope it fits ok. My pendant is going to be a super sparkly solitaire, yeah!

    Just browsing a new computer and tablet buying spree - still deciding but I think I have now made the right decision for which one to go for. I'm going to haggle a price though

    Budget set for new technology spending spree - will have to haggle to get a discount and get it down to that budget and see what happens. I'll be up front about the budget and have a go this week. I'll call in today and have a look and see if that makes my mind up. The budget is set and I've taken off the extra to make up the pendant spend from my yearly saving plan leftovers.

    Feeling better after a few good night's sleep this week and am about to tackle the housework - wish me luck!

    Will be a NSD today and of course another No Clothes Spend day too

    Have gone slightly bonkers ebay listing this afternoon - the listing template is much quicker though

    47 items on there including the 26 relisted yesterday and more to do later on

    Time for a break then time to crack on with some cooking for tea

    A very productive day - lots of jobs ticked off my list and all done bar a job application - will do tomorrow

    Blimey - amazing what you can get done in one day
    Finished cleaning
    ironing done
    Long dog walks
    Swept up outside for final bin collection this year
    Made gravy for Christmas to freeze
    Made a cake/pud to use up apples
    Sorted out work stuff and food for tomorrow
    Listed a lot of unused crafting items on ebay which has been on my list of things to do for a long long time - really want to clear that spare room out by listing a phenomenal 42 items today! A total of 69 on there - who knows if any will sell but its worth a try. If they do I'll be busy this time next week!

    A NSD and a no clothes spend day - yeah!

  • Well a good couple of days.

    Finally updated my computer at last now it's slowing up more and more after serving me well for all these years. I am the proud owner of a shiny new iPad mini. V.shiny and easy to use! Also the very proud owner of an even shiner desktop which I have had a little play with. Really glad I went for that over a new laptop, that was the right decision.

    Happily a no spend day all round here too! Hump day is over and its the roll down to the weekend. Woo hoo!

    Nice!:T I was waiting for the price of ipad minis to come down as I plan to get one with my work bonus next year.
    You sound really positive and happy :)
