    I was going to ask how the ebaying was going - you're my inspiration!

    Aww thank you :o It's not going anywhere much at the moment! I've just had no motivation. Must get back to it though. I'm going to try and get some more on tomorrow for 10 days which will mean I've had a good week away from much of it.

    Saying that, I've sold a BIN today, something that's been on for ages :T

    I've done a good few prolific surveys today so can now cash out on there :T I don't wait til £20 as I like to cash out on sites as soon as I can just in case there become any issues.

    2nd lot of washing in. One lot out on the line, one drying on radiators as we need it to be back on the bed tonight. Windows and doors all open. It's weird as there's still snow on the ground in the garden, yet it's really mild and sunny!

    I love feeling motivated again :heartpuls

    I've taken the Easter Holidays as unpaid leave, so I'm going to be down a week's wages this month and next month :eek:. So I need to try and earn some of that back with selling some stuff. It also means I need to try and cut back where I can this month. The snow helped there as we didn't do any grocery shopping last week (and weren't really eating anyway as we were ill) so we've been using stuff from the cupboards and freezer. It does all need to be replaced now though, hence the amazon pantry order which I can use some of my survey vouchers towards.

    Wow what a list!!! Inspiring...

    I took stuff to the CS at the weekend as couldnt be bothered with the Bay, plus its a great charity. But to get rid of furniture..thats amazing.

    I take a lot of unpaid leave...one of the main reasons I am SE. But it does need juggling with spends and more careful budgeting which is whats proved challenging for us this year with two holidays already...but onwards and upwards xx

    Have a great weekend
