My Excellent Weekend

We overspent a bit at the beginning of the month, so I've been trying to bring us back into the black. It's funny that I get stressed about the possibility of even one bill not being paid, compared with a year ago when it was a regular occurrence every month for at least 3 or 4 to be missed.
So, it started off well with £29.88 in Quidco, and £115 from Ebay.
Then on Sunday I did my first boot fair. Profit worked out at £81, bu ti also picked up some stunning bargains, including a working Playstation PSOne for 10p (will probably be sold at the next boot fair) and a USB Floppy Drive for 20p.
Apart from that I managed to avoid spending any money, I think I spent a grand total of about £5 and thats' already taken out of the total above.
So I finished the weekend £225.88 up!:money:
