Well the roast have fallen by the weigh side as children want the left over burgers from last night for dinner?! Strange request, but I'm happy to use up the left overs! Going to stand in the lounge and do my ironing in a bit whilst smalls watch a film in there too. When these go to bed tonight that is when my eBay mission begins! I'm going to try and list 25 things. The least I want to do is 20. Depends how bored I get!
Still trying to tidy, have most of the day tomorrow to do it, so will try and do as much as I can today, need to go shopping too. List keeps changing but still under £10.
eBay sales are at about £37, still a few hours left, would love to get to £50 as really need to make the £200 by the end of the month!
Current shopping list for tomorrow... but will probably change when I actually go in there!
Chedder £3.89? Guessing this as unsure how much the big block value chedder is as MYsupermarket isn't showing it?!
Milk £1.98
Bananas 0.48p
Bread 0.72p 2 X value
Macaroni 56p
Tomato puree 37p
Spaghetti 20p
Baked beans 23p
Tinned tomatoes 29p
Passata 35p
Wraps 69p
Eggs X 10 79p
£10.55
Obv over, know I had a bit left over from last week, will Check how much.0 -
Ok just checked last weeks receipts and actually spent 80p on bananas in Tesco, actually thought it was 90p but receipt says otherwise, and I spent £8.42 in aldi, so that came to £9.22 last week.which leaves me with 78p to carry over to next week. So £10.55 is doable.
In desperate need of razors and hair dye. As in desperate. So going to go through OH's change jar and see if i can find any 20ps to cobble together to make the £3.50 I need. Fingers crossed... I look like a greying yeti! And naturally dark brown hair shows up quite a lot on my pale skin!!!!!! Thank goodness OH isn't here to see!0 -

Yaay for sunshine hairy. Feel wrong talking about razors right next to your name.... But.. I can get razors from the £1 shop and hair dye from B&M for £2.50. If they have it its not amazing and they don't have lots of colours but does cover my greys for a time.
Hurrah, OH's change jar came up trumps! Who in their right mind puts 50ps in a change jar!!!! Got 4 of those out and some 20s and 10s. Left - few 50ps in there for emergencies. Happy that I've managed to put together the £3.50 I needed. Will go to city either tomorrow or Wednesday!0 -
