    Oh some eB*y people make my blood boil…. buy an item then complain about the most trivial thing and want a refund, why can’t they check measurements on listing before bidding. Will have to relist now, lost postage costs and there’s the added problem of this woman being rude beyond belief so could affect my feedback. Why send such rude email in capitals :mad:

    Felt really down today personal ongoing rubbish as usual with OH, I must be one of the many few who dislike weekends….Saturday night OH excuse for having booze up, normally followed by sinking feeling and trouble. I wish the weekends away and look forward to Monday, work or no work, I know sad, but I have good reason.
    On a happier note £30 in the Mortgage pot always cheers me up Happy Face :D
    Hoping for a nice night’s sleep tonight. Night night sleep tight everyone :)

    Overspent today on food shop by £15-£20.... really didn't need a great deal of the stuff I bought. Annoyed with myself as could feel myself getting carried away, but will have to try and make it up in some future food shops. Keep worrying about a large pack of ham I found in back of the fridge last use by date today, have already used on OH salad for tea today and use some in sandwiches for ones self for tea.....but loads left. Can you freeze ham hmm. I cant believe I am getting so stressed out over throwing this ham in the bin....will be having nightmares about it tonight :eek:

    £0 paid into Mortgage today but £5 paid of CC ….. Should be able to manage approx. £50-£70 in mortgage account tomorrow, hopefully….need to go over all bills again first, I’m sure I have missed something.
    Made a very nice creamy ham, cheese and spring onion pasta bake, all from what was very nearly going in the bin. I was determined to use that ham and it was only a day past sell by…. so well done me :)
    My back garden trees are desperately closing in, I was quoted £80.00 but thought no I am going to have a go myself £80 is a good cut off my mortgage, never mind the trees. I have one of those poles with the branch clipper on the end so we will see if I can motivate myself tomorrow as haven’t been able to motivate myself today….just sat and eaten to many chocolates and am now feeling sickly….so much for losing a few pounds. :D

    Terrible, terrible night....nightmare, woke up with relief feeling when realized it was only a dream. Wasn't my usual nightmare but worse in a very long time, felt like I couldn’t breathe. Feel really emotional this morning and head is thumping :(
    Waiting for the mechanic and his verdict on the car….so update later.
    D mama back from her little break in Blackpool so I will give her a ring in a minute, probably meet her for a cuppa if my head clears.
    Sold jumper on Teabay this morning £4.50 little plus, need to list a lot more items for sure now even more expenses to cover.
    Feel lost with both vehicles off the road…was hoping to visit a carboot today boohoo….will have to just use the legs god gave me, or buy a bike for emergencies. Right need to move have lots of work to do and little time to do it :)
