  • I hope you are all set to have a good weekend whether it involves making money or not:beer:


    I'll be giving the car booting a miss tomorrow:( as we've been invited out for lunch:j. I can't get off the car boot field much before noon and then have a 25 minute drive home so can't fit both in. Certainly wouldn't go out to lunch in my car boot clothes (although have done before:o). Haven't seen the friends who have invited us since about 2001 (they are touring the country on holiday and making touch with old friends). Don't want them to pity me, their circumstances are very much on the 'up', just the opposite of mine since we last met:o. They barely know OH, they were work colleagues of mine.

    They made it clear it's their 'treat' so should be an inexpensive day for us although I expect OH will have to get his wallet out:eek: and buy drinks.

    sorry not been posting much.

    very tired in the evenings I dont get it. maybe sheer boredom of new job and all the travelling backwards and forwards and back home again.

    so not doing much at all.

    although £1 from instagc and £5 from the company formerly known as givaudan.

    oh and commiserations to the freeluckyday lottery. Sadly they have closed their site due to personal and financial reason.

    He's already moaning about 'having' to go. The invite was to the 2 of us, I suppose just out of politeness on their part, but he was less than keen even when I first told him about it. Now he's trying every excuse in the book to wriggle out of it:(.

    To be honest, I'd rather go on my own but it might involve me paying for things and I really don't want to spend the money at the moment. I don't expect a few hours in their company is going to do my self-esteem any good at all. I wish I'd pretended to have a prior engagement now:o

    Another small eb@y sale with £1.36 profit. Got 8 watches on a pair of trousers that didn't have any interest last time- adjusted the title to include "lightweight" and "summer" and !!!!!! loads of interest. Just goes to show! I hope they have a bidding war and I can get more than a couple of quid for them :rotfl:

    Another £5.99 made for me. £3 boots voucher off makeup I was going to buy anyway. Plus found a dress I'd bought for my daughter a few days earlier in the sale, so bought the sale item and took the full price item back.

    £576.23/£725

    Also sold a couple of things on eBay but need to see how much the postage is before I can work out how much I've made. Should be around £50.
    Make £10 per day-
    June: £100/£300
