    We had a lovely time down the beach tonight, I spent €1.95 on a portion of chips :eek: but they were yummy ;) and I took some salad with us and we ate it on the sand, my sister and her kids came too and the kids all paddled and splashed about, they loved it ;):D Thats all I've spent today though so a pretty good day moneywise for me :D
    I keep meaning to go and get ebaying but everyones diaries keep getting updated tonight, some nights it really quiet on here but tonight seems a chatty night and I don't want to miss it :o .... then again, I need to get a headstart on this ebaying lark ;):D

    I hadn't heard of Preloved Karma but am gonna go and check it out. I reckon the challenge can include that too, whichever site you like really, as long as its clearing stuff out and making a few pennies from it ;):D

    I'm good at the moment, we've got a few bits planned for half-term this week, most of which are pretty cheap of course ;) Tomorrow is a free day, tuesday we're helping mum and dad move into their new house, wednesday I've got a friend coming round for a sleepover and a bottle of wine or two :D , thursday I'm going over to Tigzem's, friday I'm meeting up with a couple of friends at their beach-hut (weather-permitting!), then ds will be away at the weekend at his dads. I've also got a voucher for a free session at the local soft-play place which we will use one day when its raining :rolleyes: and we will try and fit in a trip to Moors Valley country park as I have the annual car park pass now so it doesn't cost us anything there anymore either ;)

    In amongst all that I will obviously be trying to clear more junk on ebay and I want to make an effort to get ds riding his bike and practicing his writing as he is very weak at both :o:D

    Oops and nearly forgot, I am also going over to visit my poorly friend a couple of times too

    Thankyou Dragon, I spoke to her last night and she sounded amazing, its phenomenal the progress she's made so quickly, just 2 weeks ago she was having brain surgery and was told she could have ropped down dead at any minute :eek: :eek: and already she's up and about and even managed a quick walk along the beach :T :T She sounds soooo positive which I think has helped her a lot, she said she appreciated every day like never before and is so very grateful to be here :D:D

    Right, I've got 5 bits listed so far, 3 of them were relisted as they didn't sell before but hopefully they'll be wanted by someone this time round :rolleyes: :D
