    Headache has cleared today and I've been outside enjoying the surprise nice weather.

    Few errands run this morning and then a visit to the hairdresser this afternoon. That always makes me feel better.

    Cooked some Italian chicken & veg for tea and now looking forward to a chilled evening catching up on some tv viewing, maybe a film too

    Hello AFK - I am never going to be a big seller - every now and then when having a clear out will do for me. I do like the extra cash though :p Sadly this batch of cash won't be going as an OP - I need to put it towards the unexpected bill for getting my car paintwork sorted. But it all helps right ;)


    Hello, Wish I was a big seller, look on in amazement at other sellers and how they get so many bids. It takes me ages to list an item, there must be a quicker way, just haven't worked it out yet, need step by step instructions on anything technical.

    But worth it when I see that little no 1 beside the alarm bell & "Post Now" coming up.
    Sad, I know, but it all helps, and I am very grateful for that.

    Good Morning :)

    Can't believe we are in May already :eek: This year is absolutely motoring along.

    I've not been around either mainly cos work has been mad busy and so online time has been suffering.

    I've also had a trip to London to see the Harry Potter play :T (which was amazing and I recommend for anyone who is a fan or even just thinking of seeing it)

    Money/survey news:

    - £10 CP voucher claimed
    - £15 VO voucher claimed
    - £3 PC payment received & OP'd
    - £20.61 total OP made of various small amounts - cashback, etc


    Jobs for today:

    - house insurance quotes/comparisons (:( boring so this may well get postponed)
    - drop off some bday bits for a friend's little boy (this will also involve a cuppa and some cake so likely to get done :D)

    Have a lovely BH everyone

    Evening :)

    It's been a whirlwind couple of days. Ended up having to take some clients out on Tuesday night at very short notice :eek: ...on plus side, it meant I got dinner out :p

    I feel like I'm still catching up with myself after the BH weekend too. Looking forward to some chill time at home this week.


    Money News:

    Late with this month's money shuffle. However done now

    Daily interest - dropped by a further 3p this month - now £3.63
    Current LTV is now 62.70% (down from 63.08%)

    So things are ticking along in the right direction.

    I think I must have been tired... I slept for 11 hours :eek:

    Woken up to a very grey and drab day - not yet sure of my plans. Having :coffee: and pondering. Although I do know I need to catch up on some surveys this weekend, been a bit lax this week


    I booked some tickets last week for a comedy gig in January and they have arrived today. They were accompanied in the mail by a £5 JL voucher :T If only all mail was that interesting :rotfl:

    Has anyone been watching ' Second Chance Summer'? I've just caught up on this weeks episode. I don't know that I would be brave enough to move to another country if I couldn't speak the language :think: it's making interesting viewing - and the scenery is also fantastic. Does make me hanker after going to Italy again though

    That's a mammoth sleep, must have been needed! It's been really dreary here today aswell and tomorrow is promised to be better.

    'second chance summer' sounds interesting, I'll have a look out for it.
