    How did the handbag turn out? ... I'm crossing my fingers it was OK>
    Hope you have bought yourself some clothes! I'm sure you're mum meant it nice.

    Fingers crossed for the handbag too

    Handbag is ok in as much as it doesn’t smell any more. It looked pristine before but now looks well used. Hopefully I’ll at least get a few pounds for it :cool: Xx

    Only a mum could get away with saying that and be totally oblivious of any bruised feelings :)

  • Had a nightmare with Paypal today. Sold an item on eBay, had notification it had been paid for but no money in Paypal. Short version of a very long story is somehow it was paid into a paypal account I opened in 2007 that I have no recollection of (though that ties in with when DH and I split up for a while so it sort of makes sense). Anway, it caused major headaches sorting it all, but it paid off - there was £81 in there that I knew nothing about :eek::j.

    Won a £1 Amazon voucher from GFK :j. Added it to my account which is looking healthier for present buying thanks to Swagbucks. Sold some books and costumes to friends and made £17. We certainly aren’t rich but we are doing better than last week.

    Did a couple of good deeds today to keep the good karma going :D.

    Brilliant news about the money in Paypal:j :j
    Also keeping my fingers crossed for you selling the bag. XX
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
