    Thanks - I like cats best but a fellow poster reminded me that I needed a fluffy teddy bear to continue the Pratchett theme.

    I have looked for a replacement microwave but it can't have air vents on top (cat bed!) and they all seem to have poor reviews so I gave up. Aldee have some in store this week I think but they do have the air vents on top.
  • So as expected Savings have dipped so will update my signature .

    I am still sorting stuff - tomorrow I will take my last bag of stuff to the charity just to save the torn between selling on 3bay .

    I may give up 3bay for a bit, as i have a lot of work to do at my real job :-)

    Doing some pampering this week trying to do 5 mins a day of something like putting on hand cream lol trying to get into a routine.

    It's great selling things online but such a bind with taking it all to the post office and proof of postage etc.

    Yay to pampering. Even dipping into savings isn't so bad based on circumstances.

  • Most stuff went to the Charity in the end. I have listed a 9 things on 3bay but only 1 looks like it will sell. :/

    Big Bundle in post to Friend - so they are happy.

    Big sort out here today . Lots of paperwork to destroy .

    Have brought a cheap microwave - Value one which will do for a while also splurged on a new kettle.

    Xx Sam

  • So pay day is here and all monies divided up. Savings back to normal.

    Just trying to decide on 3baying some stuff ( again)

    I have brought some clothes dye so I hope it doesn't go horribly wrong.

  • I always fancy trying some dye, let me know how you get on. I've used the back to black stuff which is good.
  • Hope everyone is good! Been stuck in so eating a lot but mainly in the hope to cure the lurgy I have recently acquired.

    Using my expensive Foot cream - so feet are very well repaired so pleased about that . Trying to stick to a regime of hand cream, foot cream, face pack etc and all that malarkey.

    Because of the snow I have a well stocked food cupboard which I will need to spend the next week eating up - so will need to meal plan for a bit. The shops where empty here (!!) which was shocking tbh.

    Need to do another clear out and then make a definitive need list .

    Still have so many beauty products to use up - Going to put an official ban of toiletries as gifts lol.

  • All very organised here.

    Banking done, Meal plan (although very wobbly ) has been created, Mothers day sorted - although must remember to get a stamp and post a card too.

    I started a bit of swagbucking so not sure how that will pan out. Like the idea of actually being able to get some vouchers albeit I am not sure i have the staying power of getting to my first voucher.

    Clean house here so one thing to mend and then on to the wardrobe I have not worked " real job" work today so I will have a lot to do next week to catch up.

    Washing on the go and might just be good enough weather to get it out.

    Back later with any updates and do some catching up on diaries.
