Ebay has gone up to £28.50 tonight, now up to 45 watchers :j
Should really be going to bed now but feel wide awake ... I know I won't when ds jumps on the bed at silly o'clock
Tomorrow I must buy a birthday present for my Nan, she's 89 on sunday ... what on earth do you buy an 89 year old who hardly moves out of a chair ? (My sister has already bought her new cushions for it;) )
Why does payday seem to take forever to come round again ??? :rolleyes:

Yesterday was a good day, only spent £2.40 (bread and cheese). Took ds to the beach to watch the Red Arrows, he loved it!! And it was free!! :beer:
Mum and Dad are coming to stay today and we're going to watch fireworks at the beach tonight, another freebie!! I need to have another clear up before they come :rolleyes: , and still need to sort out Nans birthday present, although that money will come out of my present fund not this months money.
I paid off some of my Next account on thursday but I also ordered 3 pairs of jeans:o which should be delivered today. I might not keep them all it depends on the fit, but they were all £10/£12 each in the sale, I don't need many new clothes but jeans are a definate ... I have 7 pairs in my wardrobe and 6 of them have holes in so I thought I can justify it!!
On the ebay front, they all finish today and I currently have 53 watchers and bids up to £43.99 :j :j :j The weather forecast isn't looking too great for tomorrow so there may not be another car boot sale this weekend
Might go and do half an hours cometitions entering as its too early to start hoovering, the neighbours below me wouldn't be too happy s is a good excuse to stay on here lol

The jeans arrived ... and two pairs of them are maternity Really annoyed because it doesn't mention it in the description and I get charged £3.75 for delivery and they're no use whatsoever ... think I might send Next an email asking them to refund the charge
Went and bought my Nans present and also spent 99p on an empty squirty bottle, I was reading Martins thriftyways book and went and bought a bottle of white vinegar to do my cleaning and then realised I had nothing to put it in. Ideally I would have waited till another bottle ran out and rinsed it out but I bought all new stuff when I moved in and as I don't do cleaning very often they probably won't run out for years yet :rotfl:
Car park was another £1 and the red arrows came over again when we were there and scared the hell out of ds
Ebay now up to £55.99 ... am well happy, was hoping for £50 so am really chuffed and they still haven't ended yet, will report back later with final figures;)
Think its almost time to get the hoover out, maybe just have a cup of tea first:rolleyes:

Well done with you're Ebay items,really enjoy reading you're diary i find it very encouraging.

Well the ebay stuff has all finished and it made .... £66.50 !!! Woo hoo !!!! :j :j :j :beer: :beer: :j :j :j
I'm really chuffed!! One item didn't sell but the others all ade more than expected so happy days!! Now I'll be digging out more old [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] "goods" and shoving them on there like mad
i sent an email to Next asking for my delivery charge to be refunded .... says it may take up to 10 days for a response :rolleyes:

I love white vinegar !!!! I have been venturing onto other boards and thought I'd try out the old vinegar cleaning trick and its fabulous!!! I've got a glass shower screen and I hate cleaning it because it never looks done, but with that its fab !!! :j :j

That's typical -especially as I looked on the Next sale site and they didn't seem to have maternity clothes -obviously they were all disguised as normal items! I would definitely ask Next for your money back.

Congrats on your ebaying - isn't it great when the money comes in? (Though not so great when you have to wrap it all and trail it to the Post Office)

That happened to me last year, isn't it maddening?

regarding the maternity jeans, they go for a mint on ebay, seems like everyone wants next clothes from ebay, you could list them as bnwt!!!! This is of course if you dont get ur money back from next xxx
