    Morning all, ds is home late this afternoon :j :j
    Today I'm having my haircut at 10.15, I'm having highlights done too so that will take about 3 hours of my day but I get to relax and enjoy it.

    So far this morning I have done the ironing and am about to rehang ds clean curtains. Hopefully I can make some pennies from somewhere today too :)

    I've got 2 bids so far, 99p and £9.99. Most of them won't sell but 3 items have watchers (1, 6 & 7).
    Hope you enjoy your weekend away and sorry to hear about your cat :(

    Haircut done, quite pleased with it I think :)

    I've also been food shopping and stocked up a bit before ds strikes ;)

    I have also sold our tickets for Reading festival - they cost me £65 each and ds was quite looking forward to it but wasn't overly excited - anyway, I sold them for £130 each, so a nice profit and the money is going to go towards starting a holiday fund for next summer :D

    I have 1.5 hours until ds is home, I'm looking forward to seeing him lots :D

    Morning all, my brother is coming to visit today so will be nice.
    Last night my friend came round and helped fix ds computer, fix my new hosepipe and attached the bracket for ds' punchbag to the wall in the garage :T

    All ds clothes from last week are in the washing machine, I did the ironing yesterday so am fairly up to date with everything at the moment ;)

    Gotta love ebay ... I'm selling a brand new pair of running leggings ... someone has sent me a question asking if they will fit them, they are a size 12, and can I take some more photos as they cant tell whether they will be to tight?? They are leggings!!

    I had one buyer like that recently, it was a button up blouse and did I think it would suit her body shape and how far were the buttons from the collar as she didn't like to show too much cleavage.......it was 99p FGS!

    We're having a very chilled Sunday in our house - we had dinner at lunchtime today, a really nice chicken and leek pie with mash, tenderstem brocolli and green beans, all from M&S and it was lush :D Then I've watered the plants in the garden and the hanging basket, played with the dog for a bit and given him a good brush, cleaned up the kitchen and just had my bath and am now feeling ultra relaxed on the sofa :D

    The rest of the day involves parcelling up the stuff to post, clearing some surveys and doing some competitions, keeping an eye on the footie, a large mug of tea and lots more chilling ;) I need to make another £26 to meet my target of £2500 in my brothers fund by the end of the month too.
