    We haven't made it down the beach, but I have one a bit of tidying up and we went to the library and I picked up "pay off your mortgage in 2 years" ... just gonna stick the kettle on then put my feet up and have a read :D:D

    Well I've read it all already :rolleyes: must admit it wasn't a lot of help, a bit like the actual series it didn't go into enough detail on anything, never mind, at least I didn't pay for it ;):D
    I might have another attempt at getting some bits on ebay tonight, my €1000 challenge has come to a bit of a grinding halt at the moment :o:o and don't even mention the competitions challenge :o:o:o :rotfl:

    The weatherman said it would be yucky today so I have planned on having an indoor housework / ebay type of day ... only I've woken up and theres not a raincloud in sight :rolleyes: :D So now I need to decide whether we should go out after all :o I think I might have a lazy morning and then head up to the park later if it stays dry ;)
    I paid some cheques in yesterday but my silly silly bank sent me one of those card reader things and I need my pin to use it; I don't have a clue what my pin is as I never use the card, I just keep it as a bills account, so on tuesday I have to go and request a new pin and wait for that to arrive before I can do anything :mad: :mad:

    The weather here is grey and wet.......and I am supposed to be going for a run with pania.....do you think I could persuade her to stay in and have a cup of tea instead :rolleyes:

    The rain has arrived since my last post :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
    Hypno, if Pania is anything like me she won't need any persuading at all ;):D
    Just had a call to say Mum is popping in for a coffee at about 11, so that means I need to have a tidy up first or I'll get lots of disapproving looks :rolleyes: :o:o I have emptied the dishwasher and refilled it again and got one lot of washing on, and the kitchen is now looking relatively okay :D

    Right I've decided I want to make €100 from ebay this week :eek: This will be pretty tough as I don't have much left to sell, well nothing that has much value anyway ;) I'm off to hunt out a few bits while I'm tidying up :D

    Right, both beds are made, another load of washing is in, surfaces are all clear (just don't look inside any cupboards :o;) ), hoover has been whizzed round and its looking presentable, not brilliant but just about good enough for Mum :rolleyes: :D
    I've got a little pile gathered already for ebaying this afternoon after she's gone home, not sure how much it could make me, maybe €50 ?? I'll need to go a-hunting again later :rotfl:
    I'm hoping today will be a no spend day too, I had €50 to last me until friday and €30 for food, but yesterday I spent €33 on food in tesco and €12 on mystery shops (although that will be refunded), and €7 on ds haircut, meaning my €50 isn't going to go very far this week :rolleyes:

    wow - £100 in a week! that's some aim! as someone's siggy says "aim high, even if you miss you'll fall among the stars" (or there abouts). I was hoping for £50 at most but will make more of an effort now!
