Diary of my new life !!!

Sounds a good plan - good luck!! Hope you get some wins soon - I tried it, but was half hearted and (surprise) didn't win anything!

We've just been to Tesco and done the weekly shop (£37.59, budget is £37.50 ), just hope we don't need anything else this week Also filled the car up with petrol (£28:eek: ) and hoovered it (£1). All of this will come out of Aprils budget, I know its early but I will be busy tomorrow so needed to get food shopping done today.

Seeing as the weathers lovely here even though they said it would rain all day, we're just off out to the forest for some fresh air for a couple of hours

Oh, ebay bids are now up to £7.49 :T

We had a great time; we took a picnic but ate it in the car as it was pretty muddy everywhere , then we went for a walk for about half an hour, hunting for gruffalos , then we went back to the car and got the football and played footie and catch for an hour

When we came home ds decided to do some junk modelling, so I now have lots of cereal packets and milk cartons glued together with petit filous pots stuck on top .... quite clearly they are all trains :eek:

I'm going to have another ebay session now before dinner as its free gallery until tomorrow night so I want to get as much on as possible by then

I only got one more thing on ebay today as ds wanted to go out again and as the weather stayed nice it seemed daft to stay in but my bids are now up to £12.19 :j

Earlier I saw ds kick one of his toys and I asked him "did you do that on purpose?"
"whats on purpose mummy?"
"it means did you do that deliberatly?"
"whats deliberatly mummy?"
"it means did you think about what you were doing and mean to do that?"
to which he replied "yes" ... cue 5 minutes explaining he'll break his toys etc etc ..... and then he turned round and said .................

"Mummy, I love you deliberatly, on purpose!"

Morning everyone, well its looking like being a good day here

My ebay bids have gone up to £14.42 overnight, 4 items finish tonight, the rest finish every day this week. With the bits I sold the other day this will put me on £30 in my ebay challenge so far, yeah I know I've still got £970 to go but theres plenty of time

Also my wages went in today so I moved the £100 I save from it into the mortgage pot, whacked it all into the calculator and it has knocked off another month, meaning I have now saved 4 years off my mortgage :j :j I am soooo happy !!! Again, theres a long way to go but it feels like a huge milestone I need to phone up later and see if my overpayment has cleared and then I'll have an "official" figure

Today ds has to have an injection at the doctors then we're going round to a friends after lunch and he can play with her 2 boys. I'm pleased we made the most of the weather yesterday as the rain is back with a vengance today :rolleyes: Have a good one everyone!!

Wow Benben, just think that's 48 less monthly payments you'll have to make!!!

And one heck of a lot less interest to pay too.

benbenandme

Yep, £11,842 less interest to be exact :j :j :j , not that I'm still well chuffed or anything :rolleyes:

We've had a lovely afternoon, we went to a friends house and ds has played with her two boys really nicely all afternoon I nipped into Tesco and collected my ordered stuff on the way, although one bit is missing so I need to ring them up :rolleyes:

3 of my ebay bits have finished today, a pair of shorts for £4.70, another pair of shorts from Primark went for £5.89 (I only paid £3.99 brand new :eek: ), and an old pair of ds pj's for £2.71 :eek: .... no idea why anyone would pay that for 2nd hand pj's but never mind One more item finishing tonight, then I want to crack on and get some more bits on there tonight before the free gallery finishes, although I did notice that theres a 5p listing day on thursday

Just ordered a £10 payout from another survey site, which should be in my account within seven days
