Glad you feel better I would need to do 60 year abs lol!!

Oh blimey I need help....
Was on FB and someone was selling a leopard gecko for £15 with the viv. I've never even considered having one (although my brother has a bearded dragon and he is gorgeous) but suddenly I really wanted it. Luckily she was sold quickly but no idea where that compulsiveness has come from!!!

Today should be a NSD. I wanted to go out at lunch to get a pasta pot or something from the shop. I had lunch with me but it just seemed so boring you, know? Anyway, it was raining outside so I told myself no, be happy with what you have. Glad I did now haha.

Got a run scheduled for later although my legs are sore after the JM workout :rotfl:

No pain no gain!!

I have loads of shirts finishing on eb@y today, but they are BIN so doesn't make much difference really. They're all on automatic relist anyway so I'll let them go up for another month.

Another eb@y sale last night - £3.64 after postage and fees

Did my run last night - 5 miles in 50 minutes. Was so so hard in the muggy heat, but I managed to do it without walking. My running shorts came yesterday so I wore those and I am so pleased with them.

Today will be a spendy day - getting my eyebrows done, and have to buy some food for work (and I fear some cat treats as both cats want them now!)

I've decided to make more of an effort with my clothes at work, and over the weekend I got out loads of "summer" stuff and put away my jumpers. This means I have a few dresses that are office-appropriate, so although I don't have to super dressy at my place (we can wear light jeans or leggings if we want to!) I think it will be nice to wear nicer stuff, and just get some more use out of the clothes that I have. Feel almost like I have a new wardrobe as I'd forgotten what I had put away in my other wardrobe! It makes such a difference in how I feel when I make an effort, and it's only an extra 5/10 minutes!

Hello lovely people!

The sun is shining, and it's time to update my spends from yesterday...:eek:
Post office - £3.35 for eb@y sale
Co-op £4.25 (I was naughty and bought a meal deal, but I was so bored of my food in the office )
Tesco - £4 on Nightnurse and £17.70 on other bits and pieces. Some of it was for my mum, so I will get a tenner back from her.
Brows - £25 (well spent!)
Nail sticks from eb@y - £3.25 I've started to experiment with nail art again, and stickers are such an easy way to get a pattern with minimal effort but look really cool

Total: £57.55
I will get my postage and £10 back.

I'm going to to try and have 4 NSD now until next week - it could be doable as I've cancelled my weekend plans to rest, watch Eurovision and prep for my long run on Sunday. I have £25 in my purse, so if I need anything I can get it with that. I have wine, work food, and food at home, so I shouldn't need anything else.

Have a lovely day!

Another eb@y sale - it's a teeny one at 99p for a dvd that I never imagined would sell. Not much profit but it's one more item out the door. Also had an enquiry about a pair of shoes I've been trying to sell for a while so we'll see if that leads to anything.

I want to write this down so I can hold myself to it...it might not be doable...but I want to get to 50% of my house deposit by the end of July. I might have some money left over once I come back off holiday as I use my spending money so it's less outgoings...might be able to up the amount going into the deposit fund once my holiday spending is over with as well. Oh well, if I get there, amazing, if not, nothing lost. But i think it's good to have mini-goals.

So that's GOAL: Hit 50% of deposit fund by end of July

I honestly don't get people...

I put an item on eb@y for £1.50. Someone gave me a best offer of £1.25....what is the point? Why not just pay the extra 25p?

Morning!

Alongside a DVD that sold yesterday lunchtime, I sold another one past midnight this morning and then another item at 8:30 as I was walking out the door! Had to go back in and grab it to package at work haha. They will all be posted on my lunchbreak. Only a small profit on each item, but that's 3 more things out the door that I don't have to worry about anymore.

I had some more money become available in paypal, so that has been moved over to my deposit fund.

Yesterday was a NSD, and today should be as well.

I went for a run with my bf yesterday - although there was a breeze yesterday evening, the air still felt very close, and I found it difficult. I seem to be getting a lot of sickness when running at the moment, think it's just where I'm having to push myself harder than usual.

Another thing to add- I got a text from vod@fone re my phone bill for April. My monthly bill is £35 (will be moving onto a SIM only contract in a couple of months to bring this down to about £18), but the text said £25. What? Went on my app, and yep, billable amount for April is £25. I've had no communication of a reduced rate, and I haven't had a reduced service. And the amount for May will be £35 as usual. I mean, I'll take it, and I won't rely on it being that cheap, but I just wonder what is going on. I could ask Vod@fone, but where's the fun in that!?

I need to work out a new lot of stuff to put live on eb@y. I have some items that I'm umming and aahing over. I still kind of like them, and they might be good when we move out, but at the same time they're taking up space right now and who knows if I'll even like them once we do move out!? It's a conundrum. I have a gorgeous cushion that I know would sell well but I still kind of want it myself

That's if for now. Have a great day everyone!

I've had one more sale this evening which brings in a profit of £1.36. Will be packaging that and taking it to the PO tomorrow.

Today has been a NSD as anticipated. I'm feeding my boyfriend's sister's boyfriend's cat (say that three times fast) as their house is literally round the corner from my work, so popped in to see him twice today while at lunch and after work. I'd heard awful things about him (they call him Mad Max) but he is such a sweetheart! Has the most gorgeous black fur and white socks on his feet. I've only just met him and he was all round me headbutting me and giving me kisses. I think he must feel the "I don't like cats" vibes off those two and that's why he lashes out at them. I know all cats have their off moments, my cat scratches me all the time, but they still need some love and affection. Makes me sad

Anyway I better go before I feel too soppy! Going to have some adult red juice and get some tv watching done.

Happy Friday!

Up bright and early this morning to go to the PO and feed Max the Cat.
Currently eating my lunch so today is going to be an off-kilter day lol.

Some spends to report -
£1 parking
£1.27 PO
£3.88 greggs (for aforementioned lunch and some tiger bread for the house)
£12.10 Tesco (for food while we're staying at boyfriend's sister's boyfriend's house this weekend)

I've got cash in my purse that I keep wanting to use, but I always whip out my card and use that instead. Must get out of that habit, if I have the cash in my purse, use it.

Had another low best offer bid on an item. Not sure if I want to just let it go or hold out. I always put my items at a good price anyway, so it annoys me when people bid so much lower. I have had LOADS of interest on it though so I'm tempted to just reject the offer.

Things to do today -
yoga - done! was a short practice but was "delicious" as proper yogis would say
put winter shoes away (although it's so chilly today do I want to do that!?) - done!
Hoover
Defuzz face - done!
Get some reading done - done!

I think that list is doable. I bet I still only do half though

Happy Saturday!
