Am really impressed jwil. Fantastic work! I don't know how you fit it all in. Great work with the running. Just think how quick you'll be popping to the post office. Xxx
Thank youIf you'd seen my running speed I wouldn't be getting to the post office any time soon :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hope you got it sorted

It's so handy and I like the quality of Sainsburys uniforms. It was all sorted thankfully!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

Thank youI hope all is well with you. I'm recovered now, haven't volunteered to do it today though :rotfl: :cool:

I've been meaning to update for ages!
I finally got my click and collect order to go through. I paid £18.37 for:
6 Shirts
3 Polo shirts
2 Shorts
2 Jumpers.
What a bargain! I haven't got it yet, hope it all turns up.
We are going to get the kids feet measured this weekend as they both need shoes for at home as well as little jwil needing school shoes. I probably need to get him some wellies as well for Forest school."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Numpty of the year award goes to me
Ever since we moved to this house, I've had a box full of empty CD cases for my audio books. I haven't been able to find the cds themselves, I've looked everywhere for them. I wanted to sell them as I use the ipod and have them all electronically.
I decided this week just to bin the cases as it didn't look like the discs were going to turn up any time soon. Pulled them all out, and what is in there? The file with all the discs in there:doh: Now I can get them sorted and listed at long last!
It's funny, I think I'm nearly done sorting my stuff, but I keep finding new batches of things to get rid of. I found an item which I thought had been sold a long time ago, but isn't even listed!
Sales are looking good again this weekend, it's nice to finally see some movement again."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
It's a bit grey and murky here today, but meant to be dry, so for the first time in ages, we are going to sell at a boot sale. We are going to take both cars to give us lots of space. Fingers crossed we clear some stuff!
I also bought flour and yeast as I am going to try and make some bread :eek: I used to have a breadmaker and loved it but haven't replaced it since it broke a few years ago. I've been thinking about getting a new one, but have decided I'll see if I can make bread first and see if I can save the expense. I'm not a very good cook so I'm not overly hopeful :rotfl:"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Looks like a change of plans, it's raining :mad:"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

Good job in finding the discs. I found a second-hand dealer that will buy Mr Retired's tools etc. I know i'd get more selling them individually but this guy will come round, give me a price and better still collect them.
Now feeling sorry for myself I've got Shingles.0 -

Oh, sorry to hear about the shingles, you are right to feel sorry for yourselfI hope you feel better soon x
That's great news about Mr Retired's tools, sometimes it's just nice to have someone else do the hard work and just get rid.
I hope you manage to get a bit of rest to recover this weekend x"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
Instead of booting we've been out to get the rest of the uniform and shoes for both kids. :eek: to the cost though!
I'm in the middle of cleaning up some bits to put on FB. I'm not a fan of selling on there, but it would be nice to see the back of some bulky stuff and I'm around for the next few days for collection anyway.
I've made my bread :T It doesn't look too bad, will taste it later. I think it's probably slightly overcooked. Hopefully it's come out alright"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -
