    Hi jwil,

    You are doing great with your debt busting and decluttering.

    Have a great day to yourself, it is a rare occurrence for me and I love it when it does happen xx

    63 listings! How on earth did you manage that?! Fingers of fury.
    One on one time with the oldest one always throws me. Not having to watch out for the smallest one running off and being able to do nice things. Let's hope for lots of sales x

    Thanks guys :)

    I enjoyed my day to myself, didn't do an awful lot though. I've been reading through an OU Law Course, I obviously picked it up at a boot sale. Can't remember when :o It's really interesting! I miss doing the OU. It's too expensive to be a hobby any more.

    We had a relatively quiet weekend. Took the kids to a couple of fetes, they like playing the traditional games. Had a mooch around the car boot on Sunday.

    Some sales this week, not too many.

    Had some devastating news yesterday. I texted my friend to visit her, only to find out she died over the weekend :cry: That has floored me a bit, and also makes me feel terrible as I'd planned on visiting her for a while, but didn't get round to it :(

    Thank you. She's had terminal cancer for years, and the last time I saw her it had obviously progressed, however, I think it happened quite quickly :(
