    Thanks Lauren, and yep it will be hard work, but worth it! X

    And thanks hidden, it does feel like a weight off my mind, so thank you x just waiting for the email with the details. I have photographed 20 things for eBay. Will now sit and list as many as I can before I fall asleep. Have tidied kitchen and put left over soup in the fridge.
    I used this recipe: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/leekandpotatosoup_1920

    But doubled it as had 4 leeks, but there didn't seem like much in the pan So added jn another 100g of potato and only half the stock. Glad I did as was just the right consistency. I used about 100ml of sour cream Instead of creme frais has that was all I had. It was a little bland to be honest. But I added a lot of salt and pepper and it was definitely passable. Small ones gobbled it up which was the major bonus. As I didn't get around to making bread, I served it up with the bread crusts which got gobbled up too!:D

    Looks like a useful shop, get what you mean about the basil.

    Look on the bright side, at least some of it will be 0%. Will it be enough to avoid the missed payment ding?

    Yaaay I've listed 20 things on eBay! Feel like doing a little happy dance. Some of these things have been wait if to be listed for 3 years!!!!!! Thanks for the motivation Hidden! Feel as though I have a slightly better handle on things. AlsoManaged to get May a pair of trainers on EBay. For £8! And I have just found somethings I bought in Primark last week, on impulse that I do not need. So I will take them back on Tuesday. Which amounts to £8 So that will take care of that! Right need to clear my bed of eBay stuff so that I can actually get in it! Think I will clear up all of this stuff tomorrow!

    :j See not that bad once you get started :D

    Check ebay for the Pr!mark item, I recently sold something on Ebay I picked up and didn't like once I tried it on. Pr!mark is miles away to return so stuck it on eBay and it sold for more than I paid :o :rotfl:

    You've made great progress again today :D Be proud x

    Oh wow that's crazy re primark stuff, these are just cheap rubbishy things I shouldn't have picked up!

    And thank you, am a little bit proud. Am going to turn into an eBay stalker though, Checking my items every ten seconds to see if they have watchers! I'm in bed but have a busy mind as per usual!
