    I'm so jealous Birdie, I always wanted to start Roller Derby but our local team are insistent that you attend all of the taster sessions and every time they have some I can't make the entire program.

    Good grief British Gas are useless! Stayed in all yesterday for a boiler service (planning to cancel once it's done, save the money) - they didn't show, called to say they were too busy and rearranged me for today. Today comes, and I've just had a phone call to say they won't be out today either, can they come next week? ARGH!

    Listed a breadmaker on spock and ebay that I've not used in a few years, fingers crossed that sells somewhere. Never used spock before. Now I have a little pile of 3 phones to trade in.

  • Sounds like selling / decluttering is going well! I have a few things listed on Gumtree at the moment, some I know will sell better on ebay but ebay is just such a hassle!! I'm far to lazy to work out the postage, list it, package it, post it etc!

    Err, I think I'll have to actually learn how to go faster than a Very Slow Thing before thinking about names!

    Oooh could you be, like, Slowest Lane (Lois Lane) or something?! Well done you on doing it though, I love the look of it (the snazzy outfits) but it also looks terrifying and I'm a wimp.

    Dinah, some excellent moneymaking going on! :T

    I've had the decorator in these last couple of days and my wallpaper looks amezzing, just need for him to come and clear up in the morning and I can start prettifying properly :D

    Augh, don't talk to me about Chump :angry: I went to see Regina Spektor (Russian born American) last night and she actually broke down in tears on stage. It's truly frightening.

    Right I'm going to get my hot water bottles filled and get into bed with my crochet and netflix - not allowed the heating on til tomorrow on account of the new wallpaper :eek:

    £40 cashed out on onepoll, two custom orders arranged on etsy, one standard order through, £12 in sales from facebook today.

    Not paying anything off the debt right now though, car insurance for both cars due on the 27th, which I would expect to be around £700- £800 for the two. Also need some money for the food for Ben's Christening on the same day.

    Second standard etsy order through. Lots of previously unsold things relisted on ebay. For anyone considering ebay, it's pay only when you sell for the rest of 2016.
