Hi little birdie and Snow White - thanks for reading. It's nice to have a bit of company on here- makes it feel less like I'm rambling away to myself and helps keep me motivated.
Little birdie as mfmaybe says, you should find a list of your subscribed threads in you user cp - you do need to be logged in tho.
A couple of eBay items finished yesterday for a total of £7.99 taking my vets bill fund up to £86.51. I've had to open a non paying bidder dispute on one outstanding item from last weekend - very frustrating, but I will get charged final value fees if I don't report it. I've got more items ending this week with £14.50 in bids so far, so I will hopefully hit the £100 mark towards the bill :j Still don't know how much it is yet as its still not dropped through the letter box- but when it does I'm ready for it :money:
Managed to spring clean part of my area at the yard yesterday - need to crack on with the rest at some point.
Jobs for today:
1. Package & post eBay
2. Quick aldi / Lidl shop
3. Laundry (almost goes without saying these days!)
4. Tidy little mans room.0 -
You must live in an affluent area if you found those things in the charity shop.

Wow!
Not really, it's a pretty average area, although it does help that I have a built in Joules radar :rotfl: To be honest a lot of the CS round here ask a fair bit for labelled stuff. There were a couple of Joules polo shirts in one marked up at £4.99 - if they were in good condition I'd have had them, but they'd been worn and washed to death and only really good for yard use- I've got OH old t shirts for that
Bids are now up to £23.50, so should hopefully cover the bill once they're done :j
Lidl shop done. Need a nice healthy tea tonight as weigh in tomorrow. Not that one meal is going to undo the last 2 weeks of slip ups :cool:
Little man is just having a roll about on his playmat. He's at such a lovely age, so interactive and making progress everyday. He's amazing and makes all the scrimping and saving worth it.0 -
