    Love the handbag, I would keep it. I enter comps but not had any big wins recently, but even the small wins are welcome.

    Hmm, I actually wrote out a post this morning and then came back to find I hadn't submitted it!! :doh:

    Anyway, sorry I haven't posted for a few days.

    No more wins, but I've become a bit obsessed with entering comps, so might have to lay off them for a bit as they are hindering my actual work!!

    I received the bag and it is on eBay as we speak (not to my taste). It already has £49.99 and I only put it on last night. There are loads of watchers, so I'm hoping it will get at least £150.

    OH and I went to Legoland today with my free tickets. It's okay there, but I think it would be better to go there with kids. Got drenched on one of the rides and ended up with a damp backside all day. We got away with paying the £4 parking fee and also didn't buy any food there (extortionate prices!!), so all I spent out on was a couple of presents for my niece and nephew which cost £10.

    We've got free tickets to Chessington for October, but we've decided to sell them on eBay instead of going.

    Legoland aside, it was a bit of a spendy day. We renewed our contract on the flat, which cost £78 :(. We also did the shopping seeing as OH had the day off (£35) and went to Pizza Hut for the buffet (£18 - still cheaper than eating at Legoland!!).

    Morning

    Up early as OH had an early start and wasn't quiet about getting ready!!

    We watched Elysium last night. Bit of a rubbish film and a bit too violent for me too.

    Apparently, we are going to the gym tonight. I have been putting it off and know that going will do me good in the long run, but I also know it's going to hurt bad.

    So, need to get a few things done today, so a list is in order:
    1. Order some new contact lenses
    2. Pick up prescription from Boots (new drug)
    3. List Chessington tickets on eBay
    4. List my cousin's prom dress on eBay
    5. Go to the gym :(
    6. Do a load of washing

    Apart from that, just trying to earn some cash.

    Gym cancelled :j. OH doesn't feel up to it after walking around Legoland yesterday. TBH, my legs are aching too - there's a lot of slopes there!!

    So I can finish off my list tonight now. I've ordered my contact lenses, but that's about it.

    Of course I don't mind :)

    I do love winning a competition or two - going to have to knuckle down and get some real work done though, so those wins will probably be my last for a bit.

    List nearly finished - just need to put a wash on. Will do that and hang it out to dry in the morning.

    Picked up my new drugs and now need to call a company to get my smart new nebuliser. Apparently they come over and show me how to use it. Should cut my treatment time down as it's quicker.

    Nebuliser, shower and bed for me.
