    Thank you :) I'm still quite early on, only about 9 weeks at the moment.

    Hope everyone had a nice weekend.

    We went out for the afternoon on Saturday for a walk to get some fresh air. Sunday had a visit from family and yesterday was car booting galore. We went to 2 in the morning to look around, and then decided to sell in the afternoon. We did quite well and cleared some stuff.

    We've also sold a few bits on ebay this weekend, so that's good, and I've made some small payments.

    I've dug out a few bits as well to get listed so must try and get those on.

    Hey everyone :)

    I've been feeling a bit better today, so have taken advantage!

    I've managed to get a load sorted and listed for both me and DH. Hopefully that will result in some good sales.

    One of my creditors has sent me a letter refusing my offer of payment. But also said if I make the agreed payment they will suspend interest and charges. No idea what they are on about. I will have to just carry on and see what happens.

    Car tax bill has also arrived, joy! I don't think that's gone up from last year so that's good.

    Waiting for Dh to come home so we can go down and vote.

    Hope everyone is well!

    Thanks tattycath :)

    I'm trying to get stuff done today again. We had a big powercut yesterday at work, so I managed to completely declutter my desk. Loads of paperwork recycled, freeing up a huge pile of folders and storage for reuse. I even dreamt about my nice clean desk last night :rotfl: It's made me want to see the same at home, so I'm going to try and get back into things.

    I've started looking through my books. I have hundreds and hundreds of 'to be read' books. Some of which I'm not that bothered about. So I've decided I'm going to skim read them and decide whether I want to revisit them. The rest will go straight out for car boot.

    I've also got a few more things ready to go on ebay and have identified some more stuff with potential.

    I don't know what's happened, but the house seems to have got much worse over the last few weeks while I've not been feeling well, so I need to get back on top of things.

    I'd like things to be very different by the time I go on maternity leave so that I can try and enjoy it, plus there's the small detail of needing to make space for number 2 when the space hasn't really been made for number 1 :eek:

    Hope everyone is well :)

    I've got an unexpected day at home today, thanks to a poorly boy :(

    I feel like I've been up for hours already! Bedding in the wash, need to try and get that dried.

    I think we'll mostly be snuggling on the sofa, but will see how I feel if I manage to get him up for a nap.
