  • A superb effort...and a bit for everyone! Have a good day!!
  • Brilliant amount made on the Ebay sales DFOD... much better than my recent £2.80 after fees :rotfl: xx

  • Mummytogirls.....it all helps! Don't knock your £2.80....its money you didn't have before !!
  • £3 in from Pcone and sent to the mortgage OP. Loads of surveys got approved at pr0filic so I had £21.94 cleared and payment requested.

    Not very MSE, but just booked a hol to Centreparcs for March. We obviously can get these way cheaper going in term time, so just under £400 for the week. Have been promising littlies we will go.

    Got the stuff from M&S bank, but no details on how to switch, so need to check that today.

    Have started going through my wardrobe - I have loads and loads of clothes in smaller sizes that although I intend to fit into one day (if that ever comes) but I have to question if I need them now given that I don't work. Washing machine has a load in anyway and I'm going to start sorting through and decide keep, sell or charity shop. I also want a load gone over the next few months as I'm finally in the weight loss zone and on the way to my first stone lost.

    Quiet day today, we were travelling a lot yesterday, sunday roast, housework and general chill time!

    Have a good sunday all!

  • Congrats on nearly losing 1 stone!!! That's amazing, I have the problem of hoarding all my clothes all sizes and now I have too much stuff in my wardrobe that I need to declutter but I keep thinking "what if I need it?"

    Enjoy your Sunday roast... totally jealous!!! X

  • BTE, you are totally right about the £2.80 :D I have more things to put on 3bay so hopefully I can make more.

    DFOD, I absolutely love cp's, its one of my most favourite places and great that you can get it cheaper out of school hols.
    Yay on the weight loss too :D

    Have a lovely chilled Sunday xx

  • Productive day attacking the wardrobe and 11 items listed. One more to go, but need to do that on DHs account as I have a family stalker on my account and they bought me the item!

  • No surveys, no movement in the bank account. Totally unexciting day here at DFOD towers!

  • £3 in from a pcone survey - waiting for that to hit the bank and then will OP, done another Pcone survey this morning, 50p on Yougov.

    Weather miserable today, spent a wet few hours in the woods yesterday at Forest School with littlies. Quieter day at home today and Beavers tonight, DD wants to move to Beavers, but think they are full so will find out tonight. Be a lot easier logistically if she was able to move.

    Good offer on moving bank with H$BC at the mo, so going to look at that today
